About Ishq
Released in November 1997, Ishq was a romantic comedy that struck a perfect balance of humour, drama, and heartwarming romance. The film starred Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Aamir Khan, and Juhi Chawla in lead roles, supported by stellar performances from actors like Johnny Lever, Dalip Tahil, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, and Mohan Joshi.
The plot revolves around two wealthy businessmen, Ranjit (played by Sadashiv Amrapurkar) and Harbanslal (played by Dalip Tahil), who want their children, Ajay (Ajay Devgn) and Madhu (Juhi Chawla), to marry each other. However, their plans go awry when Madhu falls in love with Raja (Aamir Khan), a mechanic, and Ajay falls for Kajal (Kajol), a woman from a modest background. The story explores themes of love, class differences, and familial conflict, all infused with hilarious moments and iconic songs.
Ishq was lauded for its catchy music, directed by Anu Malik, with tracks like Neend Churayi Meri and Mr. Lova Lova becoming instant hits. The film's unforgettable comic scenes, including Johnny Lever's antics and the camaraderie between the lead actors, have made it a cult classic in Bollywood history.
Ajay and Kajol: A Love Story Beyond the Screen
Ishq is not just another film in Ajay Devgn and Kajol's illustrious careers - it holds a special place in their hearts as it marked a turning point in their relationship. The couple reportedly grew closer during the filming of Ishq, and Ajay proposed to Kajol shortly after.
The two first worked together in 1995's Hulchul and Gundaraj before tying the knot on February 24, 1999, in a private ceremony. Over the years, they have collaborated on several films, including Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Dil Kya Kare, Raju Chacha, and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. Their on-screen chemistry and real-life bond have made them one of Bollywood's most admired couples.
