Several actors have married their fans. Examples from Bollywood include Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, and Vivek Oberoi.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Dilip Kumar: Married Saira Banu, who had been a devoted fan of his since she was a young girl.
-
Rajesh Khanna: Married Dimple Kapadia, who was also a huge admirer of his work.
-
Vivek Oberoi: Reportedly married Priyanka Alva, who, while not a self-professed fan, entered an arranged marriage setup after having admired his work.
While "fan" can be subjective, these examples illustrate actors whose partners had a pre-existing admiration for them and their work. The nature and intensity of that admiration varied across these relationships.
