Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam's met during a train journey
In a conversation with Curly Tales, Shatrughan revealed that their love story had a dramatic beginning, as they met during a train journey from Patna to Pune. He was on his way to join the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) when he saw her in the same compartment. Struck by her beauty, he intervened when his friends attempted to tease her, warning them that he would be left to face any consequences alone.
He managed to protect her from their mischief, and that moment marked the beginning of their bond.

Both of them were crying
Sinha reflected on how their emotional connection deepened during that journey. 'I was crying because it was my first time away from home. I had never lived in a hostel before,' he stated. He had never travelled beyond Bihar and had no idea how he would manage hostel life. As the youngest child in his family, he recalled that his mother had fainted on her way back after dropping him off.
Poonam, too, was crying—apparently because her mother had scolded her for some reason.
She was just a young girl then.
Sinha says that emotional wavelength still binds them together. He admitted that although they have been married for many years and have three children—Luv, Kush, and Sonakshi Sinha—there has been no change in their personalities. 'Even now, she is crying, and so am I,' he quipped.

Their marriage, he said, happened despite many difficulties.
His elder brother, Ram Sinha, who was working in the United States as a scientist, first took his proposal to her family. 'Poonam's mother rejected it outright, saying, 'Have you seen your brother's face? Kaliya! He looks like a fool as well as a street rowdy at the same time. Look at my daughter… she looks like she bathes in milk. Poonam Chandiramani is Miss India. If you were to click a colour photograph of the two of them together, it would still look like black and white.
Their pair does not make sense.' Fortunately, however, they eventually agreed to our union,' he revealed.

Amid dating rumours with Rashmika Mandanna, Vijay Deverakonda admits he wants to spend more time with his girlfriend
Actor Vijay Deverakonda, who is rumoured to be dating Rashmika Mandanna, has admitted that growing up in life has made him realise that he is not spending enough time with his girlfriend, and he is working on changing this. Vijay Deverakonda will soon be seen in Kingdom. Vijay opines During a conversation with Cinema Vikatan, Vijay got candid about his personal life. He admitted that he wishes he spent more time with his girlfriend. Vijay said, 'Relationships come above everything. I have been growing up over the last 2 years. I have learned to live life also. Before that, I was not like this. The last 2-3 years, I didn't like how my life went. I didn't spend enough time with my mum, dad, my girlfriend, and friends.' He added, 'Suddenly, one day, I realised. I didn't want to have such a feeling. Now… I make efforts to make time for my people. I make time for my friends, I make time for my mum and dad, for my relationships.' Last year, in an interview with Curly Tales, the actor revealed that he is not single. Vijay was asked if unconditional love still exists, to which he replied, 'I know what it is to be loved, and I know what it is to love. I don't know if it's unconditional because my love comes with expectations. I don't know of any love that comes…maybe there is, maybe it's my ignorance of it. At the end of the day, it's a good thing to be loved. Everything else is over-romanticised. I think it's okay to be conditional in love.' Later, in a game of Never Have I Ever, the actor also admitted to dating a co-star, claiming he wasn't single. He said, 'I have (dated a co-star before). I'm 35, you think I would be single?
