5 Bollywood couples to look up to for old-school love

Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak

The two actors dated for 7 years after tying the knot in 1982. While the journey to their marriage was not entirely rosy owing to how the parents were doubtful of their unstable professions, the couple stood strong and now is regarded as one of the most iconic pairs in Bollywood.

Boman Irani and Zenobia Irani

Actor Boman Irani’s story of falling in love with his now wife, Zenobia is adorable. Since getting awestruck and falling in love at first sight during college days, they have come a long way and have basically grown up together. The couple is truly adorable, to say the least.

Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher

The two actors who began as friends during their college days got married after 12 years with no expectations of any of it happening. It was so natural for them that they did not only find a partner within each other but friends and family – all of it. They’re bindaas and of strong character.
