She won a million hearts with her performance in the famous television serial, Madhubala. And, she broke all of them by embracing matrimony. Yes, we are talking about none other than the famous television actress, Drashti Dhami, who tied the knot with her long-time beau, Neeraj Khemka, on February 21, 2015. The two had a Hindu wedding ceremony, in Mumbai. But do you know how the two met and fell in love?
Let’s read about the adorable love story of Neeraj Khemka and Drashti Dhami and how they stood the test of time.
Drashti is a private person and she had claimed to be single for a long time. It was during her Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa stint that she confirmed being in a relationship. Wedding was on the cards but it kept postponing. WHY? Well, the reason was none other than Drashti’s commitments. But the media speculated their separation.
The Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka actress courted quite a controversy when she was linked to her previous co-stars, Gurmeet Choudhary and Siddharth Shukla. Drashti and Gurmeet Choudhary’s on screen chemistry on Geet – Hui Sabse Parayi was loved by the fans. Their off-screen proximity apparently created problem in Gurmeet’s personal life. It was said that Gurmeet’s wife Debina Bonnerjee was upset with the couple’s closeness and had given an ultimatum to the actor to maintain distance from Drashti.
Drashti was also linked with Siddharth Shukla during Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa days! The actress rubbished the rumours and even cursed the person who wrote about their link up.
The media got berserk and wrote all sorts of things about the two. Drashti was so furious about it all that she said in an interview,”It’s quite offending. I meet somebody after a year and they have gone ahead to write we are dating. Do you think I have so much time? I am very busy with my life and I’ve no time.”
“I am very happy being single. I genuinely met him at the Gold awards and because we are from the same channel, I sat with him. I swear by god whoever has written that news will burn in hell and should be castrated. Right now, I don’t think I need anybody new in my life.”
But Drashti and Neerah stood the test of time and after more than 6 years of dating, the two got married in February 2015.
