'He owes me a trip to Egypt': Kajol describes her 25-year long journey with Ajay Devgn in unfiltered way

Ajay Devgn completes his 100th film in the industry with Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior release. What's even more special for Ajay, is having his real-life warrior Kajol by his side while he went through the journey of Tanhaji.

Ajay and Kajol, too, have completed 25 years together. The couple has seen everything from not proposing one another to having a hurried wedding and honeymoon to a miscarriage when it was supposed to be a happy phase for Kajol.

Speaking of how she met Ajay, Kajol told Humans of Bombay, “We met 25 years ago, on the sets of Hulchul–I was ready for the shot & asked, ‘Where’s my hero?’ Someone pointed him out–he was broodily sitting in a corner. So 10 minutes before I met him, I bitched about him! We began talking on set & became friends. I was dating someone at the time & so was he–I’ve even complained about my then-boyfriend to him! Soon, we both broke up with our significant others. Neither of us proposed–it was understood that we were to be together. It went from hand-holding to a lot more before we knew it! We used to go for dinners & so many drives–he lived in Juhu & I, in South Bombay, so half our relationship was in the car! My friends warned me about him–he had quite a reputation. But he was different with me–that’s all I knew.”

Talking about their hurried wedding, Kajol revealed an interesting fact - of how they fooled the media and Ajay even went on to bribe the pandit so the wedding could be hurried. She said, “We’d been dating for 4 years when we decided to get married. His parents were on board, but my dad didn’t talk to me for 4 days. He wanted me to focus on my career, but I was firm & he eventually came around. Again, there was no proposal–we just knew we wanted to spend our lives together. We got married at home & gave the media the wrong venue–we wanted it to be our day. We had a Punjabi ceremony & a Marathi one! I remember, during the pheras Ajay was desperately trying to get the pandit to hurry up & even tried to bribe him!”

Kajol also recollected the time when Ajay cut short their honeymoon too because he was homesick. “I wanted a long honeymoon–so we travelled to Sydney, Hawaii, Los Angeles… But 5 weeks into it, he fell sick & said, ‘Baby, book me on the next flight home!’ We were supposed to do Egypt, but we cut it short,” she revealed.

The actress also went on to talk about miscarriage, that too when Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G) was a success. “Over time, we began planning to have kids. I was pregnant during K3G but had a miscarriage. I was in the hospital that day–the film had done so well, but it wasn’t a happy time. I had another miscarriage after that–it was tough. But eventually, it worked out–we had Nysa & Yug & our family’s complete,” mentioned Kajol.

She also went on to wrap up the conversation stating, “We’ve been through so much–we’ve formed our own company, Ajay’s on his 100th film & every day we’re building something new. Life with him is content–we’re not too romantic or anything–we care for each other. If I’m thinking idiotic things, it’ll come out of my mouth without a filter & vice versa. Like right now I’m thinking that he owes me a trip to Egypt!”
