A Wimbledon Date: Vidya Balan and Siddharth Roy Kapoor

When Vidya Balan and Siddharth Roy Kapoor — then the CEO of UTV Motion Pictures — appeared together at Wimbledon in July 2012, it was one of the first times the couple had been photographed together in public. The outing effectively ended the speculation phase of one of Bollywood's most closely watched relationships.

The two had been rumored to be a couple for months, but both had kept their private lives out of the press. Wimbledon changed that: the photos of them together at the tennis were splashed across the Indian media, and the relationship was, for practical purposes, public.

The pairing was notable for what it represented. Balan was at the peak of her career — fresh off the success of The Dirty Picture (2011), which had won her the National Film Award for Best Actress, and Kahaani (2012). Roy Kapoor was one of the most powerful executives in Indian film, heading UTV Motion Pictures through its Disney acquisition era.

Five months after the Wimbledon outing, the speculation resolved into certainty: the couple married in December 2012 in a low-key registered marriage followed by a Punjabi ceremony in Mumbai, in keeping with the private approach they had maintained from the start.
