Bollywood has room for every thing and in its larger than life world, actors find the ideal backdrop to discover true love.
Quite a few on-the-set romances went on to become real life fairy tales. While Dilip Kumar was compelled to give up his Devdas ways after an encounter with the exquisite Saira Banu, the gorgeous and successful pair of Dharmendra and Hema Malini defied all social conventions to become a dream couple offscreen too.
And height didn't stand in the way either when it came to matters of the heart for Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.
For better or worse, some of the much-in-love pairs of tinsel town.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai
It wasn't love at first sight for Mr and Mrs Abhishek Bachchan.
Despite working in couple of films like Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke and Kuch Na Kaho, the two never hit it off exceptionally. (Probably because the stunning duo was committed elsewhere.)
J P Dutta's Umrao Jaan, however, did the trick. In the film, Abhishek may have left Ash heartbroken. But in reality, he fell head over heels in love.
Their chemistry was for all to see in Mani Ratnam's Guru. The film's success paled in comparison to the crazy paparazzi attention their liaison received. A hush-hush engagement led to a high profile marriage (miserably failed at remaining low scale) that pretty much enjoyed a live telecast on every channel worth its salt.
Every now and then, any appearance by Abhishek and Ash sends the media in a tizzy.

After a string of sour relationships (Sangeeta Bijlani, Somy Ali, Aishwarya Rai), looks like Salman Khan has found a perfect partner in Katrina Kaif.
Age is hardly a problem for the rocking 40 something Sallu as the 24-year old Katrina been a pillar of strength for the controversial star through thick and thin.
Though the couple doesn't discuss their relationship with the media, they have no qualms about sharing screen space together.
After working with her beau in Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?, Katrina co-stars in another David Dhawan comedy, Partner. Interestingly, she's paired opposite Govinda and not Khan. The latter is teamed with Lara Dutta.
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna
After dating Pooja Batra, Raveena Tandon and Shilpa Shetty, Bollywood's erstwhile eligible bachelor fell hook, line and sinker for Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia's eldest daughter.
Their friendship, on the sets of films like International Khiladi and Zulmi, blossomed into love. To everyone's surprise, the two tied the knot, subsequently, in a low profile ceremony.
While Akki's career is going from strength to strength, Twinkle's found her calling in interior designing. Son Araav completes the happy picture.
Ajay Devgan and Kajol
Hulchul and Gundaraj might have been eminently forgettable bloopers, but cupid struck Ajay Devgan and Kajol hard.
Their next few outings Ishq and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha cemented the romance even further.
The two are as different as different can be. He's intense and reserved. She's vivacious and loud. Both are highly talented though and devoted to each other.
The Dilwala and his Dulhania exchanged vows soon enough on February 24, 1999 and are now proud parents to daughter, Nysa.

Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra
Apparently, they became 'good friends' when Priyanka worked in Karam, produced by Harman's dad, Harry Baweja.
And when Kareena Kapoor walked out of Harman's sci-fi debut, Love Story 2050, Priyanka pitched in.
Whether they deny or admit, don't you think they make a cute pair?

Uday Chopra and Tanishaa
The latest buzz is Neal and Nikki are all set to bite the dust.
Uday Chopra and Tanishaa's hot makeover in Arjun Sablok's raunchy comedy far from sizzled. But their bid to produce celluloid chemistry seems to have got them real life happiness.
It is reported both the families are quite cool about this union.
Let's wish them a happily ever after!
