Until or unless you are cut-off from the world, you will definitely be knowing that the POTUS* and FLOTUS* have been madly in love with each for 27 years. They first met at a law firm in 1989, and coincidentally did their law course from Harvard but had never met. Their love has stood the test of time, and persevered in spite of the pressure of being under spotlight all the time. They are indeed the textbook example for a successful marriage.

Famous Love Stories From The Past
9. Cleopatra And Mark Antony
Okay, let’s start with a classic. Surely this one has to be THE most famous love story of all times. After all, it inspired none other than the legendary William Shakespeare to write a play of the same name. This famous love story is a tale of a powerful woman seducing an equally powerful man only to realise she has fallen in love with him. So much that she ends her life just on hearing the false news of his death. Tragic love tale that captures our imagination even after 2000 years!
10. Napoléon Bonaparte And Joséphine de Beauharnais
This is the famous love story of Napoléon Bonaparte, the French military ruler, and Joséphine de Beauharnais, a widow who was older to him by six years and had two children from a previous marriage. Although their marriage went sour right after they got married and eventually Napoleon divorced Josephine, but she remained the true love of Napoleon till his last breath.
“France, the Army, the Head of the Army, Josephine.”
– Napoléon Bonaparte’s last words
11. Shah Jahan And Mumtaz Mahal
Guess this is one famous love story which every Indian knows. It is that poignant tale of love that gave the world a wonder called Taj Mahal. When Shah Jahan’s third and most favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal passed away during childbirth, Shah Jahan was so shattered that he decided to make a mausoleum that the world would see and take notice of.
12. Prithviraj Chauhan And Samyukta
Most of us in India are familiar with this one thanks to the number of shows made on this real life story. Samyukta was the daughter of Jaichand, the King of Kannauj, who was very much fascinated by Prithviraj Chauhan’s persona (the King of Ajmer and Delhi). Her father did not approve of this and the pair later eloped. When Prithviraj was captured by an invader king, Samyukta performed Jauhar and killed herself, proving that she always belonged to her soulmate.
13. Bajirao And Mastani
This famous love story has been made more famous thanks to the popular Bollywood film Bajirao Mastani. Peshwa Baji Rao was a powerful and famous military general of the Maratha empire. Mastani was the daughter of a Hindu King who had a Persian wife. It is said that Bajirao was so in love with Mastani that he turned a deaf ear to the opposition of his family.
14. Razia Sultan And Yakut Jamaluddin
Here is another historical love story that was made famous by a Bollywood film. Razia Sultan was the pre-eminent woman ruler of Delhi in the 13th century AD. She was a multi-talented ruler who was adept at being a warrior as she was in being a just and sensible ruler. The young Queen’s heart fell for her African slave Yakut Jamaluddin, which shocked the nobles of her court as well the people of her kingdom. Yakut was eventually killed by one Prince Altuniya, but their love story was etched in history and the story of the couple who broke all social shackles to fall in love with each other became popular in the later years.
15. Pierre And Marie Curie
This is the famous couple from the world of science that we all have heard and read about. It was their love for science that brought them close to each other, and marked the beginning of a relationship that lasted a lifetime. The couple is known as much for their lasting love as much they are known for their joint efforts in the field of radioactive substances.
Those were the famous love stories that remind us that love can last forever as long it is true. In case we missed some, do share them with us.
