From being mesmerised during the script reading to contemplating rebound dating, here's a glimpse into some love stories that unfolded on film sets

Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone: Ranveer and Deepika fell in love on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013). On Bear Grylls’ show, Ranveer opened up about how he was left mesmerised by Deepika’s entry during their first reading at Bhansali’s house, describing her as ‘an absolute vision in white.’ The couple got engaged in 2015 and kept their engagement secret for three years before tying the knot in 2018 in Italy.

Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh: Debutants Riteish and Genelia fell in love and started dating on the sets of Tujhe Meri Kasam (2003). Genelia was already a popular model, and Riteish was the son of the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Vilasrao Deshmukh. The actress admitted that she initially thought he would be arrogant and that they would never get along. At first, she started by ignoring him, but later, she fell in love with him while filming the movie together. They tied the knot in 2012 and are now parents to sons Riaan and Rahyl.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor: Although Saif and Kareena had worked together in LOC Kargil (2003) and Omkara (2006), it was on the sets of Tashan (2008) that they fell in love. Saif made the relationship public the same year by getting Kareena’s name in Hindi tattooed on his forearm. Meanwhile, the actress admitted to rejecting his proposal several times before agreeing. The couple tied the knot in 2012 and are now parents to sons Taimur and Jehangir.

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna: Akshay and Twinkle started dating on the sets of International Khiladi (1999).

The couple tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in 2001 and are parents to Aarav and Nitara.
