Shamira, as they are fondly called, Shahid and Mira got hitched in 2015. The low-key marriage gathered a lot of attention mainly because of the 14-year gap between the couple and Mira being a new face on the block. But in several interviews Mira was quoted saying how she is lucky to have two mother figures, referring to her two mother-in-laws, and was equally close to both of them. Even Supriya Pathak was all praise for the newlywed (2).

The king of romance and his wife are the most constant pair in Bollywood. Shahrukh and Gauri Khan are parents to three future superstars; the couple had a romantic love story. Shahrukh, who is very protective of his family, is a caring son-in-law too. He teasingly even calls his mom-in-law ‘sexy’, Gauri Khan shared in an interview. No doubt, he is a baadshah in every little way.

Lucky is just an understatement for someone who is the son-in-law of megastar Rajnikant. Naturally, Dhanush is all praise for the actor. He has talked about his simplicity and that if he likes a work, he calls the person to praise him personally. He had even called Dhanush to his farmhouse to personally praise him for Kadhal Kondean. For Dhanush, he will always be a huge fan of his father-in-law (5).
There will be those that fight with their in-laws but thankfully, all of these ten stars are at peace with theirs. It’s nice that fame hasn’t deprived them of the ability to forge human bonds. Hope you enjoyed the list!
