Ajay Devgan and Kajol were in a relationship for over four years before deciding to tie the knot. However, they faced a significant hurdle when it came to getting married.

On Neha Dhupia’s show, Kajol disclosed that her decision to marry Ajay displeased her father, leading to a week-long silence between them.
Kajol’s father questioned her decision to get married, citing her young age and successful career as reasons, as she reflected on it. Despite this, Kajol expressed her desire to get married. She explained that she and Ajay were quite different, and many people doubted their ability to sustain a long-term relationship. People speculated that their busy schedules would prevent them from spending enough time together, and not many knew them well enough to believe in their compatibility.
Despite the initial challenges and skepticism, Kajol stood firm in her decision to marry Ajay, emphasizing their commitment to each other despite their differences and the external uncertainties surrounding their relationship.
Ajay Devgan and Kajol, surrounded by their family and friends, tied the knot on February 24, 1999.. They went on a two-month-long vacation in Europe after their wedding.

About seven years later, on September 13, 2010, they had another child, a son named Yug Devgan.
