It is Kajol’s birthday, she turns 46. A media report goes back at her love story and how it culminated in a marriage with Ajay Devgun that is rock-solid even after 21 years. She had said that she ‘bitched about’ him when she met him for the first time in 1995. ““We met 25 years ago, on the sets of Hulchul–I was ready for the shot & asked, ‘Where’s my hero?’ Someone pointed him out–he was broodily sitting in a corner. So 10 minutes before I met him, I bitched about him! We began talking on set & became friends,” she had said. Kajol and Ajay were in relationships with other people at the time, but they soon fizzled out.
The two of them knew, through some unspoken bond, that they were meant to be together. However, he had quite a ‘reputation’ and her friends warned her when they began dating. “It went from hand-holding to a lot more before we knew it! We used to go for dinners & so many drives–he lived in Juhu & I, in South Bombay, so half our relationship was in the car! My friends warned me about him–he had quite a reputation. But he was different with me–that’s all I knew,” she said. After being together for four years, Kajol and Ajay decided to take their relationship to the next level and get married. However, her father did not talk to her as he wanted her to focus on her profession. “His parents were on board, but my dad didn’t talk to me for 4 days. He wanted me to focus on my career, but I was firm & he eventually came around. Again, there was no proposal–we just knew we wanted to spend our lives together,” she said.
