For the unaware, Jackie and Aayesha first met back in the early 1980s when Aayesha was just 13 years old.

Jackie first laid eyes on Ayesha when she was hanging from a school bus while he was riding a borrowed bike. Jackie was immediately attracted to her and could not help but introduce himself.

Coming from very different backgrounds, the two had to overcome several challenges before finally tying the knot in 1987.

The couple has been blessed with two kids - their daughter Krishna and, son Tiger.
