Their marriage sustained for almost 15 years and then they headed for a divorce.

Sohail Khan and Seema Khan
Sohail Khan's love story resembles the story of his directorial film 'Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya'. He was in love with a Punjabi girl and he was adamant to tie the knot with her. On the day of release of 'Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya', Sohail Khan ran away with his ladylove Seema Sachdev and tied the knot with her.
