Ajay Devgn also did not carry a great impression of Kajol. Talking to Pioneer, Ajay had earlier said, "I had met Kajol once before we started shooting for Hulchul. Honestly, I wasn’t very keen to meet her after that. When you meet her for the first time, she comes across as a loud, arrogant, and a very talkative person. Moreover, we were very different from each other in terms of personality. But, I guess what is meant to happen, happens."

When Ajay Devgn and Kajol first met, the duo was dating other people, however, two years after getting out of their respective relationships, during the post-production stage of their movie 'Gundaraj', the two started dating each other. Ajay and Kajol got married after 4 years of courtship in an intimate ceremony.
Ajay had said in an interview earlier, "We didn’t rush through it. As a matter of fact, we said 'I love you'. An official proposal didn’t happen either. We fell in love, grew with each other. We took our time until we were sure that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Marriage, too, was never discussed but was always imminent."

I never feel unsafe anywhere because I know he is always behind me standing there for me. He backs me one hundred percent and he knows I am there for him as well."

In 2014, during an appearance on 'Look Who's Talking With Niranjan', Kajol had opened up about her love story with Ajay Devgn and said, "We were doing a shot together, and the shot was that I was supposed to slap him and he was supposed to very dramatically hold my hand so that I could not. I remember that moment and I remember thinking to myself, 'Oh my God'. It was one of those flashes that suddenly came to me: 'This man is going to play a very crucial role in my life, I just know it'."
