Devgn's relationship with the actress, Kajol Mukherjee, began whilst they were co-starring in Gundaraj. The media called them "an unlikely pair" due to their contrasting personalities. On 24 February 1999, the couple married in a traditional Maharashtrian Hindu ceremony at the Devgan home.[20][21] The couple has two children. Their daughter, Nysa, was born in 2003 and their son, Yug, was born in 2010. In August 2009, Devgn changed the spelling of his surname Devgan to Devgn, at the request of his family. Devgn was the first Bollywood personality to own a private jet for transport to shooting locations, to promotions and for personal trips.
