Indian cinema had suffered its biggest heartbreak on July 7, 2021, when the greatest actor in the history of Indian cinema, Dilip Kumar, referred to as the 'Tragedy King' had passed away. While on one side, the whole entertainment industry was shattered by his demise, on the other side, everyone was praying for the recovery of another iconic actor, Naseeruddin Shah, who was admitted to the hospital due to a patch in his lungs.
Talking about Naseeruddin Shah's personal life, he and his wife, Ratna Pathak Shah, are two maestros of theatre and Bollywood. Their chemistry and charm is evergreen but what makes them a power couple are their liberal thoughts and contribution to the art of cinema. In 1975, Naseer had met Ratna Pathak for the first time. After a long dating and live-in period together, Naseeruddin and Ratna got married on April 1, 1982.
