Madly-in-love Married Couples

Here's celebrating wedded couples who have been together forever but still look like madly-in-love sweethearts. From Gauri and Shah Rukh to Arjun and Mehr and Arbaaz and Malaika, we take a look at them all.

Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan: They have been married since 1991, even before SRK became the superstar he is. Gauri is his anchor, someone who keeps him grounded and she has stuck with him through thick and thin. Their children Aryan and Suhana are being raised to follow Hinduism and Islam. Gauri maintains a low profile; she produces his movies and hosts his parties but doesn't accompany SRK to every second event. She is one of the warmest, most stylish and most hospitable wives in B-town. Together they make a couple that completes each other.

Hrithik and Susanne Roshan: Ah, young love. Hrithik and Susanne are childhood sweethearts. Apparently, he decided to marry her at the age of twelve and finally married her after he became a superstar and became an interior designer. Like SRK and Gauri, this is another interfaith marriage. They have two young sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan. With his Greek God looks and her delicate beauty and grace, they are one of the most beautiful couples in Bollywood.

Arjun and Mehr Rampal: They were both supermodels at the top of their game so being attracted to each other was only expected. Mehr and Arjun are usually seen hand-in-hand at concerts, premieres and parties. The perfectly paired couple have two daughters, Maahika and Myra. Mehr is Arjun's biggest fan; her prayers and love have helped Arjun go from Bollywood struggler to Bollywood biggie. Their compatibility is amazing.

Twinkle and Akshay Kumar: We all know what a playboy Akshay Kumar was before he got married. Twinkle Khanna tamed him and got him to commit to her. They have one young son, Aarav. Akshay may be a superstar today but when Twinkle married him, he wasn't. She keeps him grounded through success and failure. The interior designer with an elite clientele is one of the most stylish and gorgeous star wives in B-town.

Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan: Bollywood newest couple (they married in April, 2006) is totally in love. Ash and Abhi are hand-in-hand wherever they go and the newlyweds have eyes only for each other. Luckily for them, they are even doing films together, so they get a chance to mix business with pleasure. We can't wait to hear when the stork will visit this perfect-for-each-other twosome.

Arbaaz and Malaika Khan: This is one of the strongest marriages in B-Town in spite of the wife being more popular than the husband. They have a school-going son, Arhaan and are extremely supportive and secure about each other's career choices. Arbaaz and Malaika have been married for ten years but looking at them, you wouldn't be able to tell because they are still so smitten by each other.

Carnival time for Akshay!

Everyone knows that Akshay Kumar dotes on his son Aarav but the superbusy actor is doing something extra-special for him on the tot's birthday (September 15), when Aarav turns six.

Says a source, "Akki has always been a devoted father but this year he wanted to do something extra special and memorable as he has been travelling a lot and hasn't been able to spend as much time with his only child, as much as he'd like to.

Just last week, he was shooting in Phuket for Blue, then he flew to Toronto for the screening of Singh Is Kinng and on Monday, he was back in Phuket." Today is Akshay's birthday and he is shooting. But for Aarav's birthday, he is taking a break and coming to Mumbai for a day. The actor is more anxious about Aarav's b'day than his own. Twinkle and Aarav have joined him in Phuket for a quiet family celebration. Akshay turns 41 this year."

Daddy dearest has been personally supervising all the party arrangements from Phuket and Toronto. The source adds, "Akshay hasn't yet decided what gift to give to Aarav. He's still deciding. But he has planned a big party at his Juhu home for his son. The theme is carnival and there will be lots of games, music, clowns and the entire place will be decorated. It's essentially a kiddie bash but B-Town parents will accompany their children. Papa Kumar will fly in on the 15th and take a flight back to Phuket the following day."

Twinkle, Twinkle – on small screen!

After Akshay Kumar crossed over to TV, his wife Twinkle too is gearing to do a reality show... produced by SRK!

With most 70mm actors turning to the small screen in search of greener pastures, Twinkle Khanna makes her comeback of sorts on the small screen with a reality show. Shah Rukh Khan’s company Red Chillies Entertainment will produce this TV show.

According to reliable sources, the show will go on air with hubby Akshay Kumar’s Fear Factor on the same channel — Colours.

An industry source reveals, “After creating a formidable film production house, Shah Rukh now wants his company to foray into television production.

He is in talks with a channel for three to four different reality shows. And one of these will be hosted by Akshay Kumar’s wife, and will be called Makeover with Twinkle Khanna.”

Another show, which is in the pipeline, is called The First Wives Club. Red Chillies is being tight-lipped about these projects. There is speculation that SRK’s wife Gauri Khan might host the talk show along the lines of another American show The View.

Samar Khan, who is heading the Red Chillies Television department says, “We, at Red Chillies, are planning to get into television production. But right now, it is too early to comment on the nature of shows we will make, we are merely getting the team in place.

” When asked if Twinkle or Gauri were going to be a part of the future shows they are planning to make, Samar simply said, “You need to check with Shah Rukh. I think he’s the best man to answer that.”

Red Chillies have registered the following titles with the Producers Association for television shows:
Main Na Kehti Thi
Thoda Sugar Thoda Spice
Jub Hum Milenge
Kooka’s Wonder Land
Asha Dhoonde Asha (Reality Show)
Makeover With Twinkle Khanna (Reality Show)
First Wives Club (Reality Show)

Akshay and Twinkle in Goa

Akshay Kumar has bought an old Portuguese bungalow on the Anjuna beach in Goa. The deal is said to have cost over a whopping Rs 5 crore.

Last year, while staying in Anjuna, Tina saw the property; and brought it to Akshay’s notice. She was keen that they acquire it and took a keen interest in the deal — including looking into the papers and other details.

Ding dong well

Twinkle fell in love with the colonial house as soon as she set her eyes on it and Khiladi Kumar decided to buy the beach bungalow for the biwi.

Says a source close to Akshay, “He is in the process of finalising a deal with the owner of the bungalow. It’s an old Portuguese bungalow built more than 75 years ago with its own well, a large garden, and a compound wall. The bungalow may be old but it’s in a very good condition.”

Akshay and Twinkle love Goa and visit as often as they can get away from their busy schedules.

Designs galore

Tina, who is an interior designer has many ideas about how she wants to do up the place. Initially, they looked at the property as an investment but now they think of it as home, and want it to turn the place into a private retreat.

Adds the source, “Tina will be going there from time to time and refurbishing and designing the interiors and decorations according to Akshay’s and her taste.”
