Kunal Kapoor's scandals and relationship with his girlfriend and wife Naina Bachchan

Shweta Bachchan Nanda, the elder daughter of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and Naina’s cousin, brought the couple together. Naina is a poet and an investment banker. She is the niece of Amitabh Bachchan and the daughter of Ajitab and Ramola Bachchan. Kunal and Naina first met and started dating in 2012. When asked about her first impression of this handsome guy, she replied: Wow! He was tall, dark and very attractive. It was a wonderful discovery to learn that he was one of the kindest people I have ever met and that he was more than just a pretty face.

Kunal and Naina's cousin actor Abhishek Bachchan became good friends during the film Laaga Chunari Mein Daag in 2007. Then around 2012, Shweta introduced Kunal and Naina and they have been dating since then. Kunal is also close to Naina's family as he is often seen with Bachchan khandan.

Their story is as beautiful as the proposal. This is how Kunal proposed. Naina describes her proposal: Kunal provided me with a recording. I initially thought it was a project he was working on.

Kunal Kapoor's films and career

Kunal Kapoor's debut film Meenasi: A Tale of Three Cities (2004)

Nawab, a famous novelist from Hyderabad, is experiencing a classic case of writer's block. After five years, no substantial stories seem to be published. Then, almost providentially, Nawab discovers a young woman, Meenasi. Enigmatic and independent, she is not yet ready to play the role of a passive muse. However, the resurgent Nawab continues to give her various roles; for example, she can be a mysterious perfume seller in Hyderabad, an exotic desert flower in Jaisalmer, or an orphan named Maria in Prague. She steadily tightens her grip on the novelist. She denounces his recent literary attempts as lacking originality and clichés, which only makes him feel even more desperate.

She is fond of one of the characters in the book, the bumbling, lovelorn Kameshwar, and she offers a scathing critique of the narrative. In the end, Meenahi muses, perhaps the book is in vain, because the Nawab is writing a new page from scratch. In any case, it is too late. The author must persevere and, if possible, live without her encouragement, inspiration, and criticism.

Meenaxi, sometimes referred to as Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities, is a 2004 Indian film starring Tabu Kunal Kapoor and Raghuvir Yadav, directed by M. F. Husain. In some ways, it is semi-autobiographical. The film references Husain's own encounter with his muse, Madhuri Dixit, with whom he co-wrote and directed Gaja Gamini (2000). The film was screened at the Marché du Film at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
