5 love lessons from Bollywood couples and secrets behind their happy relationships
In a world where celebrity romances often burn bright and fade fast, a few Bollywood couples have managed to hold onto something rare and lasting: genuine companionship. From Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to Madhuri Dixit and Dr. Shriram Nene, these stars have opened up about the little things that make their love stories so special. What they reveal may not be what you'd expect; it isn't just grand gestures or glamorous vacations, but quiet understanding, mutual respect, and heartfelt connection. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt Ranbir Kapoor appeared on entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath's podcast, where he spoke candidly about his bond with Alia Bhatt. The couple, who tied the knot in April 2022, spent the entire lockdown together, a phase that could challenge even the strongest relationships. However, Ranbir fondly remembered that time as smooth and comforting. He shared that he never felt frustrated being around her, and that period only deepened their connection. He described Alia not just as his wife but as his closest friend, someone with whom he could talk, laugh, and even vent without judgment. That ease and openness, he said, made him feel incredibly lucky in love. Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa's wedding in 2021 was full of personal touches, one of which went viral for all the right reasons. During the ceremony, Patralekhaa applied sindoor to Rajkummar's forehead, a symbolic gesture that defied traditional gender roles. Rajkummar later explained in a conversation with Mojo Story that he wanted their wedding rituals to reflect equality. He questioned why only the bride should wear symbols of marriage like sindoor or a mangalsutra, while the groom wore nothing more than a ring. The couple also asked their priest to explain the meaning behind each mantra during the ceremony, refusing to follow rituals blindly. Their decision to marry on their own terms stemmed from a partnership built on shared values and mutual respect. Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif have remained mostly private about their relationship, but when they do speak, it reveals a profound sense of calm and maturity. As per Cosmopolitan India, Vicky has described his life with Katrina as deeply fulfilling, crediting their marriage for helping him grow emotionally. He reflected that the personal growth he experienced in the past two years far exceeded anything he had achieved in his life before that. The Chhaava actor shared how even the smallest decisions, from ordering food to planning vacations, are made through thoughtful discussions, always seeking a balance that works for both of them. Being with Katrina, he said, gives him a feeling of peace and stillness, like being present in a quiet moment on a rainy day. He cherishes how comfortable their silence feels and how she makes him feel at home. Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal's relationship blossomed on the sets of Fukrey and eventually led to a quiet marriage in 2020 under the Special Marriage Act. Coming from different faiths, they stood strong in their belief that love knows no labels. Richa has spoken about how falling in love doesn't happen with filters or boundaries; it just happens. When she was ready, she introduced Ali to her family, preferring to keep their relationship private until it felt right to open up. She recalled the moment they decided to go public. It was when she was invited as Ali's guest to the Venice Film Festival, where Victoria & Abdul premiered. Richa knew she couldn't miss walking the red carpet with him, even if it meant telling the world about their love. Madhuri Dixit and Dr. Shriram Nene Madhuri Dixit's love story with Dr. Shriram Nene didn't begin with glitz and glamor. It was her brother who played matchmaker, inviting Shriram to a family dinner without revealing Madhuri's star status. Madhuri, fresh from a heartbreak, wasn't looking for love. But after meeting Shriram, she found herself unexpectedly drawn to his charm and simplicity. Shriram, on the other hand, was unaware of Madhuri's immense stardom. All he knew was that she worked in films. This lack of pretense allowed their relationship to grow organically. They eventually married in a private ceremony in the United States in 1999. Madhuri was at the peak of her career but chose love over fame, taking a break from acting to embrace a new chapter with the right partner by her side. What ties these stories together isn't fame or fairy-tale weddings, but an unwavering commitment to authenticity. Whether it's Ranbir and Alia finding comfort in friendship, Rajkummar and Patralekhaa breaking traditions for equality, or Vicky and Katrina embracing emotional stillness, each couple's journey reveals that the real secret to a happy relationship is being true to yourself and your partner.

Pankaj Tripathi: Criminal Justice 4 has definitely improved my bank balance
Pankaj Tripathi is back as lawyer Madhav Mishra in 'Criminal Justice Season 4'. Over the years, the show has become a fan favourite, and so has his character. Speaking to India Today, Tripathi opened up about the show's journey, his role, and how he's changed along the asked if he has evolved just like his character, Tripathi joked, "Yes, the bank balance has definitely improved. I was just kidding - but it has happened. With time, you experience such things.'advertisementTripathi admits he's changed over the years, 'Earlier, I used to talk like a motivational speaker. Now, I feel there's a shortage of motivated people in India. So, I've become a motivational seeker. I listen more now. I feel like I've given enough gyaan (knowledge). Now, it's time to receive. This change has made me quieter. I even feel like giving fewer interviews." He also admitted that no one expected Criminal Justice to become such a long-running show. "When the show began, we didn't expect it to become this big. The first season was really good. When I heard Sriram Raghavan was involved in writing it. I was impressed. I thought it was an interesting show. Jackie Shroff was there, Vikrant Massey was there - so I felt it had potential. But whether it will run or not, no one can tell with any project."advertisementHe added, 'Just a little while ago, someone was counting all the seasons and prequels I've been a part of. So I quietly began counting too. And I realised - I'm in three seasons of 'Mirzapur', four of 'Criminal Justice', three parts of 'Fukrey', two of 'Stree' (I forgot if there's a fifth), and a few more." Pankaj continued, "When Shweta (Basu Prasad) said this was her first chance to repeat a role, none of us knew during the first season that there would be a sequel. That's how our industry is—like a milking cow. As long as it keeps giving milk, we keep milking. These shows are still running, so we keep going. The day we get bored, or the audience does, or the viewership drops, the platforms themselves will say, 'Bas, that's enough.' But until then, we keep trying.'Tripathi is genuinely excited about the new season. He said, 'I remember when I heard the first episode of this season's story—I felt it had spark. The writer is new, a young guy, and he has written it really well. It felt fun and interesting. So it's not like we're just doing it for the sake of it. We're involved too. The audience has trust in us. Even if we go for four or five seasons, the day we feel it's done, we'll let it go. With the same warmth, Applause and Hotstar will say, 'Let's make something new.''advertisementTalking about his character, Madhav Mishra, he says he enjoys playing someone so real and flawed. "Very much. Life should be like that. I don't take acting too seriously—just like Madhav Mishra doesn't take law too seriously. In the courtroom, it may look like he's well-prepared, but the moment he starts speaking, you wonder where this is going. It feels like he didn't prepare anything and is just improvising on the spot. I do that deliberately—to keep it from looking too polished or rehearsed. I think that's what the audience connects with—that it feels like he's thinking on the spot, building the case in real-time. He's clever. He pretends not to be fully ready, but he knows exactly what to say and when to say it. It's a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the domestic scenes with the wife. That part was reduced a bit this time. Those sequences used to be a lot of fun, one track going on in court, and a totally different one at home. The location changed, but the spirit remains."Criminal Justice Season 4 is now streaming on JioHotstar and stars Pankaj Tripathi, Surveen Chawla, and Shweta Basu Prasad. You May Also Like
