Actors who married their ‘crush’

We’ve seen many childhood crushes in Bollywood evolve into lasting marriages, but this timeless romance dates back to the 1960s. Young Saira Banu, smitten by her first crush Dilip Kumar, bridged their 22-year age gap and won his heart. They wed in 1966, with Saira just 22 and Dilip 44. Their enduring love story lasted until Dilip Kumar’s passing on July 7, 2021.
