Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi aka Tiger and Sharmila Tagore's wedding was one of the most talked about weddings. The couple tied the knot on December 27, 1968. While Tiger--an Indian cricketer and a former captain of the Indian cricket team was described as one of the greatest of his times--was "best fielder in the world", Sharmila--who recently appeared on Koffee With Karan season 8--was one of the most sought-after actresses. Their love story sounds like a script of a Bollywood movie.

Jab they met

The couple as per reports met through common friends. It was an after-match party in Delhi. Sharmila had gone to see the match. She admitted she had limited knowledge of cricket at that time. Similarly, Mansoor Ali Khan hadn't seen many of her movies. She was in fact a fan of another cricketer Motganhalli Laxminarsu Jaisimha but she was drawn to his sense of humour.

"I met him in around 1965 at somebody¡¯s party. There we got to talk to each other. He had a very British accent and nobody would laugh at his jokes since they didn¡¯t understand them. So, he used to laugh at his jokes himself," the actress told Indian Express.

He tried to woo her with expensive gifts, but what worked were roses and letters. After four years, she finally said yes.

Convincing the families

While Sharmila belonged to a Bengali family, Tiger was a Muslim. At that time, it was said that marriages with movie stars don't last long, and hence, both their families had their own inhibitions. Different religions was one of the major hurdles. However, they defied all the odds.

"We were in Paris and it was Bastille Day when the entire city is on the roads to celebrate their independence. There, he went down on his knees, just like it happens in the movies, and asked me, 'Will you marry me?' I was like, ¡®Kya bol rahe ho? Sunaai nahi de raha. There was so much noise. Then he said it loudly and I said, ¡®Yes yes I will¡¯" she said.

Sharmila's condition to get married

The Pataudi, who was honoured with C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001, the highest honour bestowed by BCCI on a former player, bid adieu to the world on September 22, 2011 due to an acute lung infection.

In an interview with Filmfare, Sharmila revealed how her life changed after Tiger's death. "Life has completely changed after Tiger¡¯s demise. We were together for 47 years out of which we were married for 43. December 27, 2012 was our 43rd wedding anniversary. I remember I met him a few weeks before my 21st birthday. My family was crazy about cricket and that¡¯s how I met Tiger," she was quoted as saying.

Tiger aka Mansoor Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore's love story is indeed magical. Don't you agree?
