India has seen a lot of communal tension throughout its history. But while we focus on our differences, love has always thrived undeterred; transcending boundaries and creating truly memorable love stories.

Akbar, a Mughal King, and a muslim, married Jodhabai, a hindu Rajput Princess, in order to extend his empire. What began as a political move, later turned into an epic romance, as Akbar fell truly and madly in love with Jodha.

Another epic tale of true love. Bajirao was a noted general of the Maratha empire. Mastani, whose origins are highly debated is said to have been a Muslim dancer who later became Bajirao's second wife. Of course a love story can be assumed to be the stuff of legends if Sanjay Leela Bhansali decides to make a film on it.

3. Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Chibber

She a beauty queen daughter of a Muslim father and a Roman catholic mother. While Col.
