Nothing comes close to the magical feeling of watching our fave real-life celeb couples tie the knot! What’s even more special is getting to know how their love stories began in the first place! While some of these popular duos knew each other since childhood, others made the first move via social media. Sounds interesting, right? Here’s a look at how B-town’s famous couples met each other for the first time! Scroll down:

Kiara Advani & Sidharth Malhotra

It’s been almost six months since Sid-Kiara tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony, but the craze doesn’t seem to end! While the lovebirds always remained tight-lipped about their relationship before their shaadi, the Shershaah actress once spilled beans on how she first met her ‘more than close friend’. In a candid convo on Koffee With Karan, Kiara shared, “We started talking at the wrap-up party of Lust Stories, which we crashed. We casually met. And I’ll never forget that night.”

Deepika Padukone & Ranveer Singh

The first time Ranveer Singh saw Deepika Padukone, it was no less than a Hindi movie sequence. In a conversation with Bear Grylls, Ranveer revealed that his first interaction with DP was at Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s house, ahead of their movie Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram Leela. Explaining how he got swayed away by Deepika’s entry in the room, he shared, “I’ll never forget, the doorbell rang and I looked at these big wooden doors opening. She was wearing all-white and the breeze blew just at that time. It was almost like time had slowed down, in slow-motion, she walks through the door, hair all flying with the breeze. She was looking like an absolute vision in white. That was it. That moment was it for me!”

Alia Bhatt & Ranbir Kapoor

When it comes to manifesting getting married to your crush, Alia Bhatt is a pro. While their love story and minimalist shaadi became the talk of the town, not many people know that Alia first met Ranbir on the sets of Black at the age of 11. While Alia couldn’t land a role in the movie, she ended up developing a major crush on the nation’s heartthrob. Cut to 2017, the two shared a flight to NYC and vibed instantly. Shedding light on the same on the Koffee couch, Alia shared, “It was not meant to happen. We were not supposed to be together on New Year’s. We both talked on our flight to Tel Aviv to do a workshop for Brahmastra. We both were seated together. I remember him walking in, and he was supposed to sit next to me, and I was very excited. But then he sat next to me, and something got stuck on his seat. There was some malfunction, so they were going to move him to another seat. And I was like, why is this happening, why is my dream getting shattered? But later, his seat got fixed, and he came back.”

Vicky Kaushal & Katrina Kaif

#VicKat’s love story started on the most unexpected note and we’ve been ‘obsessed’ with it. Sparks started flying between Vicky and Kat after they met at Zoya Akhtar’s house party. They got to know each other even better when they appeared for a face-to-face interview. After keeping their romance under wraps for a couple of years, they decided to take the plunge and got married in 2021!

Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas

As GenZ as it may sound, love blossomed online between PCJ and Nick, in the Twitter DMs to be specific. In an interview with a leading daily, Priyanka revealed how Nick slid into her DMs and texted, “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet.” Being the badass she is, the Fashion actress replied, “My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me?” After flirting on texts for a few months, the lovebirds finally connected in person at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, where Jonas got down on one knee to show his admiration for our desi gworl.

Anushka Sharma & Virat Kohli

Virushka might be one of the most shipped couples of tinsel town now, but their love story started on a really awkward note. The two first met in 2013 on the sets of a TV commercial shoot. Virat, who was already nervous about shooting with a renowned actress, asked Anushka, “Didn’t you get anything higher to wear?’ While the actress initially got creeped out, it was the beginning of their own ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ story.

SRK & Gauri Khan

SRK and Gauri have been together for over 30 years now, and their love story is as filmy as the actor’s personality. The two first met each other at a party in Delhi, where SRK bumped into Gauri while she was already dancing with another guy. During that time, Gauri was 14 years old and Shah Rukh was 18. They had their very first date at Panchshila Club in Delhi, and started dating each other soon after that! And well, the rest is history! 

Aishwarya Rai & Abhishek Bachchan

Aishwarya and Abhishek first met each other on the sets of her debut film, Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya (1997), but it was only during the shoot of Dhai Akshar Prem Ke (2000) that the actors became friends. However, romance blossomed between the two on the sets of their 2006 film Umrao Jaan. Confirming the same, Abhishek had once said in an interview, “The universe conspired to bring us together.” 

Sonam Kapoor & Anand Ahuja

When Sonam and Anand first met, he was trying to set her up with his best friend. Sonam once shared in an interview, “Anand was there along with the guy my friends were setting me up with. His friend was tall, liked reading but reminded me too much of my brother. I ended up talking to Anand the whole evening.” Somebody rightly said, sometimes the best kind of love stories are the ones you never see coming! 

Mira Rajput & Shahid Kapoor

Shahid and Mira made us believe that arranged marriages can be beautiful. During an AMA session, Mira revealed that he first saw Shahid at a Sufi concert. She wrote, “It was interesting meeting Shahid. It was actually when I was 16 and we were at a common family friend’s house for a concert by a Sufi singer.” Cut to a few years later, the two got married in a dreamy setup. 

Kaafi dreamy, right? Which one of ‘em was your fave?
