Sunil Dutt And Nargis' Iconic Picture After That Famous Fire Accident Which Sparked Their Love Story

Mark Twain had rightly said that age is an issue of mind over matter. If you do not mind, it does not matter. Also, there's no denying to the fact that most of the Bollywood flicks are bubbled with the emotions of eternal romance for decades. However, there are only a few real-life celebrity couples, who are remembered for lifelong devotion to their partners. One such incredible love story is of two iconic actors, Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt.

The two had come from contrasting backgrounds, as Nargis was the daughter of Mohan Babu and Jaddanbai. On the other side, Sunil was the son of a Punjabi land-owning family. But everything stopped when they had worked together for the first time in their movie, Mother India, as a fire accident had ignited the destined spark between them and the rest is history.

Sunil Dutt And Nargis Love Story

That is the reason why Nargis just could not stop herself from falling in love with Sunil Dutt, who was giving her the kind of respect and love she was worthy of. For Nargis, Sunil was the complete opposite of Raj. He was calm, shy, and plain-speaking with a deep respect for women. Raj, her previous boyfriend, was flirtatious. When Sunil came in her life, she was emotionally drained. He supported her in her bad times and never judged her for anything. Over the years, their love story had inspired different generations and will surely continue to inspire the upcoming ones too.
