Most of television's on-screen couples are extending their romance to their real life as well. Here's a look...
Sushant Singh Rajput and Ankita Lokhande: Pavitra Rishta proved to be a turning point in their lives in more ways than one. The nation's most loved couple Manav and Archana are very much in love in real life too. This was visible on the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhalaa Jaa - Season 4, where Sushant took Ankita by surprise when he kissed her hand and proposed marriage to her.
Rashmi Desai and Nandish Sandhu: "It was all work for me and boys were a waste of time for me," says Rashmi. "But when I started working with Nandish for Uttaran, things changed. We would be shooting continuously from 6 am to 3 am the next day. After that we would go for long drives since I love driving. While working together for such long hours, I realised that Nandish was a cool, controlled and cultured guy. He would be around if I had a problem and that helped me know him better. Today even though we are married, I can confidently say that he's my best friend."
Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Chaudhary: The couple played Ram and Sita in the mythological show Ramayan. This was followed by the reality show Pati, Patni Aur Woh, where Gurmeet went down on his knees and proposed marriage to Debina. "Actually, love happened before Ramayan when we participated in a talent hunt contest. We kept in touch, fell in love and as luck would have it, we bagged the lead roles in Ramayan, which of course helped us get closer," said Gurmeet. Today, they are happily married for almost a year.
Rubina Dilaik and Avinash Sachdev: Dev and Radhika of Choti Bahu admit that it wasn't love at first sight as they considered each other 'arrogant'. But work and promotional events for the show often threw them together. And before they knew it, the two were committed for life. The show ended but its popularity brought them back in a new version of the show. Ummm what's their status now in real life?
Kritika Kamra and Karan Kundra: When television czarina Ekta Kapoor noticed an instant chemistry between Kritika and Karan at the auditions for Kitani Mohabbat Hai, little did she know that her show was the beginning of a life-long bond between the lead pair. They sought to understand each other to portray their parts as lovers convincingly on the screen. The outcome was a lasting friendship that turned into love within a span of seven to eight months.
Veebha Anand and Rohit Purohit: Sanskaar Laxmi may have gone off-air recently, but it earned Veebha Anand her partner for life in co-actor Rohit Purohit. "Attraction does happen when you are thrown together for long hours because you are working, eating, gossiping and sharing things together. When Rohit's track was on, he would make me feel very special with his care and concern. I would be very comfortable with him around. I liked the fact that he was a teetotaler, a non- smoker and a complete family person like me. Though tongues had started wagging, we hadn't started dating then. It was only when his track in the show ended, that I started missing him. In a way, that helped us realise that we couldn't do without each other," said Veebha.
Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta: Reportedly, they discovered love for each other on the sets of 12/24 Karol Bagh but wanted to keep it to themselves. Though the show is over and the actors have moved on, Ravi is doing Saas Bina Sasural and Sargun is the new entrant in Phulwa, the relationship between the two is still going strong.
Manav Gohil and Shweta Kawatra: Manav and Shweta met on the sets of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, they became friends on the sets of Kkusum. Slowly and steadily they started spending a lot of time together. Finally they tied the knot after three-and-a-half years of courtship.
Mauli Ganguly and Mazhar Sayyed: After a courtship of seven years which began on the sets of Kaahin Kissi Roz, Mouli Ganguly tied the knot with her co-actor Mazhar Sayyed recently.
Yash Tonk and Gauri: The couple fell in love on the sets of Kahiin Kissi Roz and without wasting any time they tied the knot. They now have a five year old daughter.
Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan: Hiten first met Gauri not during the shooting of any serial, but during an ad campaigne for Breeze. Later, they acted in soaps like Kutumb and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The couple fell in love, and got married in Pune in 2004.
