Actress Yami Gautam and Director Aditya Dhar wed on June 4. The couple had worked together in the National Award-winning film, Uri: The Surgical Strike in 2019.

Interestingly, quite a few actresses found love in the makers of their films. Joginder Tuteja takes a look.

Rani did a lot of work with Adi before they tied the knot.

Actress and producer worked in Saathiya, Hum Tum, Veer Zaara, Bunty Aur Babli, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Dil Bole Hadippa! and their bond ended in marriage.

After their daughter Adira (a combination of their first names) was born, Rani has acted only for films produced by Adi's Yash Raj studio -- Mardaani, Mardaani 2, Hichki and the coming Bunty Aur Babli 2.

Okay, so Bebo and her Saifu were already in love when Agent Vinod happened.

Bebo and Saifu, who produced the film, married the same year Agent Vinod released.

Since their wedding, Bebo and Saifu have not acted together save a cameo appearance in his Happy Ending.

After their wedding, Vidya and Sid have worked together in Ghanchakkar.

Sunny didn't just have Danny as her co-star in many adult films but was also directed by him in All Sunny All the Time.

Of course, this was all before Sunny travelled to Bollywood.

Dia married Sahil and they floated a production company together.

Sahil directed Dia in Love Breakups Zindagi before they broke up for real.

Udita and Mohit worked together in Zeher, the Emraan Hashmi-led romantic musical thriller which was a decent box office hit.

After they wed, Udita quit the movies.

 

Kalki Koechlin-Anurag Kashyap

After working with him in Dev D and That Girl in Yellow Boots, Kalki and Anurag wed.

But they did not make a movie together again and their marriage too came to an end.

When Sonali worked with Producer Goldie Behl in Angaaray, romance bloomed.

After dating for a few years and working in a dozen odd films, Sonali and Goldie got married.

Though Goldie has made movies, television serials and Web series since, he has not worked with Sonali.

 

Sridevi-Boney Kapoor

Boney made sure that Sridevi got a huge platform in Shekhar Kapur's Mr India and then went all out to make Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja for her.

Love blossomed and the superstar and producer got married just before the dawn of the 2000s.

 

Sonam-Rajiv Rai

Back in the 1990s, many hearts broke when Sonam married D irector Rajiv Rai.

Together, they had given the song of that decade in the form of Tirchi Topiwale in Tridev.
