Love Beyond the Silver Screen
Ajay and Kajol’s love story began during the making of Ishq. Despite their contrasting personalities—Kajol being outspoken and bubbly, and Ajay being reserved and serious—they found a connection that transcended the sets. It was during the film’s shooting that Ajay proposed to Kajol, marking the beginning of a lifelong partnership. Two years after the release of Ishq, the couple tied the knot in 1999.
Iconic Collaborations
While Ishq remains a special film for the couple, Ajay and Kajol have shared screen space in several other memorable movies. From the emotional drama of Dil Kya Kare to the uproarious romance of Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, their chemistry has always been magnetic. They also starred in action films like Gundaraj and historical dramas like Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, which became a box office success.
Their Current Endeavors
In recent times, Ajay Devgn has been making waves with his role in Singham Again, the latest installment of the popular Singham franchise. Known for his intense action sequences and powerful performances, Ajay continues to dominate the silver screen. Kajol, on the other hand, has been exploring diverse roles, with her recent portrayal of a cop in Do Patti receiving widespread acclaim.
A Timeless Legacy
As fans celebrate 27 years of Ishq, the film’s legacy continues to live on. It serves as a reminder of the golden era of Bollywood, where heartfelt storytelling, strong performances, and unforgettable music reigned supreme.
