Who doesn’t know Aditya Chopra, a name that neither became a part of the media buzz nor ran after followers on social media, but he gave a new identity to Indian cinema with films like ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, ‘Mohabbatein’ and that too in his own way, quietly and humbly. However, there is an interesting story behind the making of the iconic film DDLJ, which surprisingly took 23 in make and managed to rope in Shah Rukh Khan in a pivotal role.
Aditya came into the limelight when his name was linked with Rani Mukerji. However, he preferred to remain silent on the rumours of their relationship going on in the film circles. Aditya’s dispute with Kangana Ranaut was also common. Kangana had claimed that Aditya had once threatened to ruin her career if she rejected the film Sultan.
Aditya Chopra, who has been looking at the profit and loss of the film world from a young age, did such a feat at the age of 23, which even many reputed filmmakers could not do. In 1995, he made a film that is still running in Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theater even after 30 years. The name of that film is ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’. Aditya made his Bollywood debut as a director with this film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
Aditya Chopra’s first marriage was with Payal Khanna, who was his childhood friend and an interior designer. The two got married in a private ceremony in 2001, but with time, their relationship started facing problems. During the production of the film Veer-Zaara, news of Aditya-Rani’s closeness became common.
When this news reached Aditya’s family, they were very angry. They liked Payal a lot and were not sure about Rani. Due to this, there was tension in the family and Aditya had to leave his house and stay in a hotel for some time until the situation became normal.
Talking about the love story of Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukherji, the two first met through Karan Johar, when Rani was shooting for ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. However, before this Aditya had first seen Rani in a restaurant after ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’. After becoming popular, Rani appeared in many films of Yash Raj Films like ‘Hum-Tum’, ‘Saathiya’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, but the relationship between the two remained professional. At that time, Aditya was married to Payal.
Many people speculated that Rani Mukerji was one of the reasons for Aditya Chopra and Payal Khanna’s divorce. However, the actress denied being romantically involved with Aditya. According to reports, Aditya Chopra started dating Rani Mukerji after officially divorcing his first wife Payal Khanna. Aditya reportedly visited Rani’s house and asked her parents for permission to date her. After Aditya Chopra’s divorce, the couple got secretly married in Italy in 2014.
