Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan are considered one of the most loved couples in Bollywood. Here's a look at their beautiful love story.
Kunal Kemmu and Soha Ali Khan are one of the much-loved couples in the Hindi film industry. The duo got married back in 2015, after several years of dating, and now they are living their best life with their daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu. The duo had been together for years before opting for a live-in, followed by a Paris proposal and a Nawabi wedding. Kunal and Soha have always been open about their relationship, and today, in this article, we will unpack the details of their beautiful love story.
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu first met on the set of the movie, Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge. Well, it was not love at first sight for Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu, and they didn't even think that they could be friends, as they have always mentioned that they are quite the opposite. When Soha and Kunal first met, she thought they wouldn't even be able to be friends, while her now-husband thought that she was an Oxford grad and thus they could never click. However, destiny has its own magic to do, so eventually, the couple fell in love with each other.
Talking about who proposed to whom, Kunal, in an old interview with iDiva, shared that it never happened that way; rather, they connected as friends, and they have always been each other's best friends. He also mentioned that he believes that opposites attract, and in his case, he and Soha are two different people, but the only common factor between them is that they love the beach equally.
Making their relationship public actually led Soha and Kunal to face some public scrutiny as well, as every other day, there would be new speculation, either about their breakup or about their engagement. Well, Soha and Kunal didn't pay any attention to the gossip around. The couple eventually moved in with each other after they started dating in 2013. The duo purchased a home in Khar, Mumbai, and started living together, which worked out really well for them, as shared by the actress.
As the couple was living together, Soha's mom, Sharmila Tagore, felt that Kunal was not going to marry her daughter, which made the actress think the same. According to Sharmila Tagore, men always need a push; otherwise, they would never get married, as Soha shared. Well, in an interview, Soha shared that marriage was never a big thing for her and Kunal, as they never wanted to make it public with a marriage license, but eventually, they decided that they should also opt for marriage.
Soha and Kunal were living like a normal couple, and as per the actor, they already felt married. The duo never faced any pressure from anywhere to get married to each other. Well, it was during their one-month-long trip to Europe that Soha and Kunal got engaged. It was in July 2014, when Soha and Kunal visited Paris, which was not on their then-plan, but the actor added that, so that he could propose to his lady-love at the most romantic city in the world. Kunal, in an interview with NDTV, shared that he had to use all his acting skills so that Soha wouldn't get any idea about his plans, and when he popped the question, the happiness on her face made Kunal feel that everything was worth it. Soha, soon after getting engaged, made it official through a tweet, which could be read as:
“It gives me great happiness to share with you all that Kunal proposed to me in Paris with the most perfect ring in the world, and I said yes.”
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu had wished for an intimate wedding. The couple tied the knot in the year 2015. The wedding soiree began with a grand bachelorette party, hosted by Soha's friends. Following this, the pre-wedding soiree began with mehendi. Several glimpses from the pre-wedding soiree of the duo made rounds on social media, speaking volumes about the blast the couple had at their wedding. The duo got married on January 25, 2015, at their Khar residence. The actress looked gorgeous in an off-white lehenga teamed up with an orange dupatta.
The traditional jewels, including, passa, completed her look. On the other hand, the then-groom, Kunal looked stately in a white and gold sherwani and a silk safa. Sharing the wedding photos, Soha Ali Khan made it official through a social media post. She posted photos from her wedding and shared them with the caption that read:
“I married my best friend today."
After the simple wedding in the morning, in the same evening, the reception party of Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu took place. The reception party was hosted by who's who in Bollywood, who attended the party to bless the newlywed couple. The bride, Soha, looked every bit royal in a pink and gold lehenga designed by Sanjay Garg, while Kunal opted for a simple kurta and white trousers with a bandhgala jacket.
Soha Ali Khan and Kunnal Kemmu never prioritised having children in the initial phase of their lives. Well, when she turned 38, the actress decided that she would get pregnant, and after several months of trying, the actress finally got pregnant. Soha and Kunal welcomed their baby girl, Inaaya, in 2017. Soha often shares adorable glimpses of her daughter, and there is no second thought about the fact that the couple ace their duties as parents as well. Soha and Kunal have been in a long relationship, and talking about the same, in a recent interview with Quint, Soha said:
"The most challenging thing is to be in a long-term monogamous relationship. It's not easy… I am quite lazy, not just with my work but sometimes with my friendships and with my relationships. That is not a good thing. I think it's good to be true to yourself, but sometimes, you have to make an effort. I think I'm doing that now."
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu's love story was not a love-at-first-sight, but rather two people connecting naturally and living the rest of their lives together through every phase of their lives.
