The couple seems to be the perfect one. However, how much do you know about their love story?

Speaking on how Bhajji first came to know about her, Geeta revealed to SpotBoye, “He saw my poster, he liked me on that poster, so he tried to enquire about me. And then, my Woh Ajnabee song had released, and he was like, ‘Kaun hai yeh ladki (Who is this girl)?’ I never watched the sport, so I didn’t know who Harbhajan Singh was. I didn’t know any of these guys.”

Geeta was one of the most famous actresses in Bollywood, as she rose to fame following her hit movie, The Train, alongside Emraan Hashmi. Nonetheless, after her marriage to Bhajji, she has distanced herself from Bollywood.

Speaking on the same, Geeta said, “It was a personal choice that I didn’t want to work... I was enjoying motherhood so much, and enjoying her milestones, and making sure that I’m there for every single moment of hers -- her first walk, her first laugh, her first word. I enjoy what I used to do, and when the time comes, and when I’m ready, I will definitely head back to work.”
