Vidya Balan and Sidharth Roy Kapur, the power couple of Bollywood, have become one of the most adored pairs in the industry. Their journey towards a happy marital life, however, was not without its twists and turns, as they had to navigate through family apprehensions and the complexities of their past relationships.
Sidharth Roy Kapur, the CEO of UTV Motion Pictures, is known for his shy and low-key nature when it comes to his personal life. On the other hand, Vidya Balan, the talented and versatile actress, stands in stark contrast to him with her fun-loving, friendly, and outspoken personality.
The two first crossed paths in an unusual and serendipitous manner, thanks to their common friend and director, Karan Johar, who played a pivotal role as a cupid. Karan invited both Vidya and Sidharth to a party at his house, unknowingly setting the stage for their eventual connection. During the gathering, Karan orchestrated their first meeting by ushering Sidharth towards Vidya, initiating their conversation.
Recalling that special day, Vidya expressed her surprise at being invited to Karan's party since she didn't know him well at the time. However, this fortuitous meeting seemed to have sparked something between the two. Despite Sidharth's initial shyness, his approach left a positive impression on Vidya.

Their paths crossed again when they coincidentally ended up on the same flight while Vidya was heading to shoot her then-unreleased film, 'No One Killed Jessica,' which happened to be produced by Sidharth's company, UTV Motion Pictures. These two chance encounters seemed to fan the flames of attraction between them.
As they spent more time together, love began to blossom in the hearts of Vidya and Sidharth, and they officially started dating. Despite their growing affection, the couple decided to keep their relationship under wraps, refusing to acknowledge the rumors that circulated about them.
However, their secret didn't remain hidden forever. A candid picture of their trip together to Goa went viral on the internet, confirming their romantic involvement. With the truth out, they finally acknowledged their relationship publicly.
By 2012, both Vidya and Sidharth realized the depth of their love and commitment to each other. Sidharth decided to take the next step and proposed to Vidya, who wholeheartedly accepted. In a candid interview, Vidya shared how unexpected the proposal was, given that they were content in their live-in relationship, and the idea of marriage hadn't crossed their minds.
Their decision to get married was met with some apprehensions, especially from Vidya's parents and family. Sidharth's previous two marriages added complexity to the situation, and Vidya's flourishing career added to the mix of considerations.
Despite the challenges, the couple stood strong in their love and commitment. They were determined to face any obstacles together and make their love endure. Finally, Vidya Balan and Sidharth Roy Kapur tied the knot, embarking on their journey of marital bliss, solidifying their place as one of Bollywood's most cherished couples.
