Shivaji and Aruna's bond left everyone wondering if it was a love marriage, but actually, it was an arranged marriage. The wedding was fixed by the former's father, who was a gymnast. As per Aaj Tak, Shivaji once spilt the beans about how his wedding with Aruna was fixed. He said that his father was a man of progressive thinking and never had those backdated ideas. His father had been the head of their family, and the proposal of Shivaji's wedding with Aruna came through a common friend, and their mutual liking for one another, created the bridge between them. The duo got married possibly in 1976, and they have two children.
Shivaji and Aruna's journey was not long, and they were together for 24 years before the latter breathed her last back in 2000. Aruna suffered from cancer, and for seven years, she gave it a tough fight. Talking about the same, Shivaji said that during the tough phase of her life, not just him but the entire industry extended their support. Shivaji, being a doting husband and the perfect family man, had to juggle between his personal and professional life. He had to take care of his children and his ill wife.
Shivaji shared that it was a very tough phase in his life as well, but everyone, including his family, friends, and colleagues supported him throughout. He recalled when all of these happened to his wife, he was filming for Ghulam-e-Mustafa.
