Divyanka was going through a tough time. She found a soulmate in her Yeh Hai Mohabbatein (2013-19) co-star Vivek Dahiya who supported her and stood by her in her tough time. They did not immediately begin dating when they met on the sets of Ekta Kapoor’s soap opera. But after a couple of months, Dahiya proposed Divyanka on her birthday and the latter could not stop her heart from melting. The couple walked down the aisle on 8 July 2016 in Bhopal.

But Dipika was already married to Raunak Samson at that time. However, their marriage had hit the rock bottom and was on the verge of breaking apart. The actress divorced Raunak in 2015.

After first meeting each other while shooting for an ad campaign, Gauri Pradhan and Hiten Tejwani shared the screen space in Ekta Kapoor’s smash hit show Kutumb (2001-2003). By now, they knew they wanted to be together forever.

After impressing audiences with their crackling chemistry in Kutumb, the couple went on to star together in Star Plus’ iconic show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (2002-08). After two years of courtship, Hiten and Gauri tied the nuptial knot on April 29, 2003. The couple has two children.

Gautami Gadgil and Ram Kapoor

After meeting on the sets of Sony Entertainment Television’s Ghar Ek Mandir (2000-02), Ram Kapoor and Gautami Gadgil could not stop falling for each other. They charmed audiences as Rahul and Aanchal. And right after their show ended its run, the couple married each other on February 14, 2003.

Shalmalee Desai and Avinash Sachdev

When we talk about actors who married their co-stars, we usually think of couples who romanced on screen as the romantic pair. In that is what you think, Shalmalee Desai and Avinash Sachdev do not fit the bill as they played sister-in-law and brother-in-law on Star Plus’ show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?...Ek Baar Phir (2013-15).

The show did not turn out to be as successful as its predecessor, but it did manage to bring the two really close. Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?...Ek Baar Phir ended its run in 2015, and the couple tied the knot right after its conclusion.
