Son-in-laws of popular Bollywood celebrities

The place of the sons-in-laws in the Indian families holds a very special importance. Popularly called as ‘Jamai Rajas, these son-in-laws are revered and respected by their wives’ family members. And the scenario is very similar in the Bollywood fraternity too. Here we take a look at some known son-in-laws of popular Bollywood celebrities.

Anand Ahuja was all over the news after he became son-in-law to one of the Bollywood’s ever-young actor Anil Kapoor and wife Sunita Kapoor after he got hitched to their daughter Sonam Kapoor in a private wedding in attendance of their close friends and relatives.

Although rumour mills were always abuzz with reports of their rumoured affair, Sonam and Anand never came out in public about their relationship. Their wedding reception in Mumbai was a grand affair with their Bollywood friends joining them in their celebration.

After the marriage, while Sonam adopted Anand’s surname turning her name into ‘Sonam K Ahuja’, Anand too adopted Sonam’s initial in his name making it, ‘Anand S Ahuja’.

Coming from a royal family of Pataudis himself, Saif Ali Khan became the son-in-law of Babita and Randhir Kapoor after tying the knot with their daughter Kareena Kapoor Khan after four years of courtship.

Right from supporting his sister-in-law Karisma Kapoor while she sorted her matters with ex-husband Sunjay Kapur to taking care of father-in-law Randhir, Saif Ali Khan has been an ideal son-in-law in the truest sense of the term.

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan met on the sets of ‘Tashan’ and that is where their journey of love apparently started from. The two got hitched in 2012 and are today proud parents of their Chota Nawab Taimur Ali Khan.

Actor Kunal Kemmu became the son-in-law of the Pataudis after he married Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore’s daughter Soha Ali Khan. Soha and Kunal worked together in the film ‘Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge’ where the two apparently fell in love.

Kunal and Soha lived in a live-in-relationship for about two years before getting hitched in 2015. The actors are today blessed with a baby girl whom they have named ‘Inaaya Naumi Kemmu’.

‘Inaaya’ apparently means ‘gift from God’ in Arabic. As she was born on the auspicious day of Mahanavami, they named her Inaaya Naumi Kemmu.

Aayush Sharma became the son-in-law of Salim Khan after he married his daughter Arpita Khan in 2014. The two, who met each other through a common friend in 2013, started dating each other and finally got hitched the next year. The couple is also blessed with a baby boy named Ahil.

Aayush aspires to be an actor and who better than Salman Khan can guide him and provide him with the correct platform. Aayush will soon be seen in Salman Khan Films’ ‘Love Ratri’. The film also features newbie Warina Hussain who plays the love interest of Aayush in the film.

Actor Kunal Kapoor became son-in-law to the prestigious Bachchan parivaar of Bollywood after he tied the knot with Amitabh’s brother Ajitabh’s daughter Naina. Big B’s elder daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda apparently played the cupid between the couple.

Kunal Kapoor and Naina Bachchan reportedly dated for about three years before they finally got hitched in 2015. Kunal is apparently a great guy and shares a warm bond with the entire Bachchan family. He is also reportedly one of the very good friends of Abhishek Bachchan.

Akshay Kumar, who is one of the leading actors of Bollywood, idolised the first superstar of the Hindi cinema, late actor Rajesh Khanna. And as fate would have it, he became son-in-law to his very own inspiration after marrying his elder daughter Twinkle Khanna in the year 2001.

Mother-in-law Dimple Khanna had reportedly said that the actor has been very supportive after the sad demise of the late veteran actor. She also added that he is very much like a son to her and that he is always up to some nonsense.

Akshay and Twinkle have been blessed with two kids, Aarav and Nitara and are one of the doting parents of Bollywood.

He is the son-in-law to the ‘Thalaivar’ Rajinikanth. Dhanush married Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwarya in 2004 in a private ceremony with just family and close friends. The couple is today blessed with two boys.

Being a son-in-law of one of the idols of the film industry, Dhanush uses this opportunity as a blessing and seeks guidance from the Thalaivar whenever necessary. He is in turn always available for the superstar when needed.

Rajinikanth’s next titled ‘Kaala’ is being produced by his son-in-law Dhanush and stars actors like Nana Patekar, Huma Qureshi and others in pivotal roles. The film is slated to release on June 7.

Ajay Devgn and Kajol are one of the most unusual couples you would come across. They are completely opposite from each other but also undoubtedly made for each other. The two fell in love while they were shooting for ‘Gundaraj’ in 1994.

After dating each other for four long years, Ajay finally became the son-in-law to yesteryear actress Tanuja and Shomu Mukherjee in 1999 after tying the knot with their daughter Kajol.

Ajay Devgn has always reportedly been a family man and a very hands-on and supportive son-in-law. Praising the actor, Tanuja had once said that he is a great son-in-law, more like her own son.

Salim Khan’s daughter Alvira got married to Bollywood’s actor-producer Atul Agnihotri. The two are blessed with two kids, son Ayaan and daughter Alizeh.

Speaking about his father-in-law Salim Khan, Atul had once reportedly said, “I value Salim uncle the most. The first time, I remember when I met him, there was this great pressure, given who he is. He was sitting on his balcony, reading the newspaper. Alvira told him, ‘Dad, this is the boy I like.’ That was the first time she had told him about me. He looked up and just said, ‘I like him too.’ That was it. For me, he replaced my father.”

Atul has films like ‘Bodyguard’ and ‘Hello’ to his credit. Alvira, on the other hand, is a film and fashion producer. Alvira, Atul and Salman Khan often collaborate o various projects in Bollywood.

Businessman Bharat Takhtani found his soulmate in actors Hema Malini and Dharmendra’s elder daughter Esha Deol. The two were reportedly childhood lovers. He became a proud son-in-law of the Deols after he got hitched to Esha in 2012.

The adorable couple is blessed with a baby girl whom they have named ‘Radhya’ which means ‘to be worshipped’.

The family was very guarded regarding their baby's photo going public. However, as the little girl turned six-months-old, Esha shared an adorable picture of her angel.
