Bollywood’s power couples, up close and personal
In an exclusive and in-depth interview to Hindustan Times, five most powerful couples of Indian film industry share insights about their everyday married life. The series also features exclusive pictures of these star couples in their homes, for the first time ever.

Sonal Kalra takes you inside the homes - and the lives of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, Abhishek and Aishwarya-Rai Bachchan like never before. Adding a special dash to the interviews is a take on each couple by filmmaker Karan Johar who has known each couple very closely.

 
For me, Amit uncle and Jaya aunty are the President and First Lady of the Indian film industry, says Karan Johar.
Akshay is someone I don’t really know personally but I’ve loved and adored Tina (Twinkle) ever since she was five, says Karan Johar.

Jaya on Amitabh
"Maybe what annoys me a little is his tendency of not sharing his thoughts. I wish I could help him out every time he’s going through an emotionally rough time."

Twinkle Khanna on Akki
“You know, when I was 17, an astrologer told my father that one day I’ll get married to an actor called Akshay Kumar."

SRK on Gauri

"She’s totally detached from the image of Shah Rukh Khan, which makes me feel that she’s in love with me, the man, no matter how successful or unsuccessful I get.”

Saif on Kareena
“Oh, this is something even she doesn’t know. She was 14, sitting on a ledge outside a makeup room, staring ahead with big green eyes. Someone told me ‘this is Karisma Kapoor’s kid sister. I thought she was simply stunning”.

As Aishwarya and Abhishek step into their second year of matrimony, we heartily wish the couple a happy marriage anniversary. Parmita Uniyal takes you through their two years of togetherness.
Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan admits to having an affair with actress Kareena Kapoor, setting to rest much speculation on the subject.
