Of late, live-in relationships have become quite popular in India despite the self-appointed moral policing in our society. Live-in relationships may sound like one of the most practical things on earth, but it was still considered a taboo in our society, until the Bollywood stars smashed the traditional stereotypes and normalised live-in relationships, changing the way how people perceive live-in relationships.
From on-screen to off-screen, the celebs in tinsel town are found flaunting the live-in relationship tag almost everywhere. While some live-in relationships eventually materialised into marriage like Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, others just fizzle out with time like John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Let's have a look at some of the B-town celebrities who were in a live-in relationship before tying the knot.
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt
The 'Brahmastra' couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were in a live-in relationship before getting married in April 2022. They tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in the attendance of their friends and family members.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor
The 'Kurbaan' stars were in a live-in relationship before they got married in 2012. The couple fell in love on the sets of 'Tashan'. They were pretty open about their live-in relationship and Kareena had once said, "I have tried and tested the live-in relationship formula and now I can personally endorse it for modern Indian couples. And live-ins are a reality in modern India. I am a modern woman and I am glad I could live up to what I believe in."
