00:00 Kajol and Ajay Devgn are the most underrated couple of Bollywood.

00:05 There isn't much hype about them on social media, whereas people talk a lot about Kajol

00:12 and Shah Rukh Khan, even though there is no such thing between them other than friendship.

00:18 Unlike other Bollywood couples, Kajol and Ajay are successful in keeping their marriage

00:24 alive.

00:25 Every month on February 25, the couple will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.

00:32 In an old interview with BBC, Kajol revealed that her father didn't agree to her wedding.

00:38 Kajol decided to marry Phool Aur Kaate star Ajay Devgn in the year 1999, after four years

00:45 of relationship.

00:46 During that time, Kajol was just 25 and she was at the peak of her career.

00:52 Her father, Somu Mukherjee, was also in the industry and he was angry with Kajol for this

00:59 decision.

01:00 He asked her why she wanted to get married.

01:02 He felt that she was too young for that, but Kajol was firm in her decision.

01:07 She clarified that she had worked for 10 years and she wanted to make this decision.

01:13 She was ready for marriage.

01:14 Her dad didn't talk to her for a week.

01:17 That period was tough for her as if an earthquake happened, but eventually he agreed.

01:22 It is generally said that after marriage, an actress no longer remains desirable.

01:27 But Kajol completely disagreed with the statement.

01:30 She said, "This tag is in women's head and not in public's heads."

01:34 She cited some examples to overcome that statement.

01:38 Sharmila Tagore, Saira Banu, Hema Malini, all these actresses had their biggest hits

01:44 after they got married.

01:45 Those actresses kept working all the time and hence she felt that she wasn't a trendsetter

01:51 in this particular subject.

01:53 Nowadays, it isn't really a thing that actresses no longer get lead in the films after marriage.

02:00 And Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, and Kiera Advani are live examples of this.
