Bollywood’s notoriously private couple, Rani Mukerji and filmmaker Aditya Chopra, stunned fans when news broke that they had gotten married in a hush-hush ceremony in Italy in 2014. Only a handful of close friends and family were in attendance. The couple never confirmed their relationship publicly before this, making the wedding reveal all the more surprising!

Ileana, who kept her pregnancy extremely private, later revealed that she had secretly tied the knot with partner Michael Dolan before the birth of their child. The actress only shared glimpses of her motherhood journey on social media, keeping the marriage and even his identity under wraps for the longest time.

john-John Abraham and Priya Runchal

Fans were left shocked when John Abraham casually dropped the news of his marriage in a New Year tweet back in 2014, signing off as “John and Priya Abraham.” The actor had kept his relationship with investment banker Priya Runchal extremely low-profile, and their wedding reportedly took place in the US, away from the limelight.

Sana Khan and Mufti Anas Saiyad

Former actress Sana Khan, who quit showbiz citing spiritual reasons, surprised everyone when she tied the knot with Gujarat-based Mufti Anas in an intimate ceremony in November 2020. The wedding video went viral, but no one saw it coming, especially since she had just exited the entertainment industry weeks before.

Taapsee Pannu and Mathias Boe

Taapsee Pannu secretly married her longtime boyfriend, Danish badminton player Mathias Boe, in an intimate Udaipur ceremony in March 2024. The couple had been together for over a decade, keeping their relationship low-key. Only close friends like Anurag Kashyap and Pavail Gulati attended. Taapsee later shared that she wanted to keep her wedding private and personal, away from the media glare.

Preity Zinta’s wedding to her longtime beau Gene Goodenough flew under the radar in 2016. The ceremony was held in Los Angeles, and Preity shared the news only after the wedding had taken place.
