They had both begun seeing each other differently post-marriage. How were things in their marriage when they first came to see you?
They began fighting a lot until they landed up where every Bollywood couple has always landed up – at my doorstep.
The salary for a playwright in 1997 was akin to the value of old 500-rupee note in 2017, and Pooja didn’t have any job qualifications except breaking out into dance at the sound of music. Not to mention, finances were pretty rough for the newly-weds. In the first couple of weeks itself, Pooja realised that she knew nothing about Rahul apart from the fact that he is obsessed with Maya, does not brush but instead uses Coke as mouthwash, and considers cake as an acceptable substitute for dinner. His legendary stand-up specials include, “Editor of the year”, “Swachh Bharat Khiladi”, and most recently “Dua, humein yaad matt rakhna”.Īnd what of the golden couple themselves? We got in touch with our trusted Bollywood marriage counsellor, and to our delight, he agreed to spill the beans on Rahul and Pooja’s post-marital secrets. Last heard, after returning to London, he quit his job and took up a career in stand-up comedy. While Nisha prompty took another KLM flight to God knows where, Ajay, we hear, is still walking around with his heart-shaped stuffed toy and offering it to every Pooja that ever walked the earth. The story is about Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), an overtly eccentric playwright, and Pooja (Madhuri Dixit), an overtly vela dancer, have no qualms in leading on and then savagely squashing the feelings of Nisha and Ajay, played ironically by a Kapoor and a Khiladi, only to lustily embrace in front of a packed stadium as a final “fuck you” to the two. Dil To Pagal Hai, is a film that worked hard to convince us that there is only one person for each one of us (“Kahin na kahin, koi na koi mere liye banaya gaya ha”) – a myth that Tinder has since then shot to hell. In 1997, Yash Raj Films gave us a romantic musical that can easily be mistaken for a three-and-a-half hour ad film for Shiamak Davar’s dance classes.
