Ssharad Malhotra's special gift for wife Ripci on their first wedding anniversary

Amidst Lockdown actor Ssharad Malhotra is leaving no stone to unturn to celebrate his first wedding Anniversary. Ssharad and Ripci tied knot last year on April 20.

And speaking to leading paper about the celebration of their first wedding anniversary, he told, "We will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary and what better than to have only each other’s company and be under house arrest. "

He even mentioned that "We shall cook a meal together, listen to some soulful music and sipping on our favourite red wine."

When asked him what is the best thing about being married to her, he says, "The best thing about my partner that I have discovered during this quarantine period is that she is a very motivating and encouraging person to be with. She has a very positive outlook towards life and loves to live in the moment. She is very caring and compassionate too."

He adds, "Marriage is a beautiful amalgamation of two completely different worlds having different theories, thoughts, ideas, practices, caste, culture, coming together under one roof. When you are married, you share your joys and sorrows with your life partner which is certainly fulfilling. When life gets tough and things don't go as planned, people generally look for partners who can support them. Marriage offers that facility to stuck with one another and share life. When a married couple chooses to live together, they vow to protect and stand by each other through the rough times. Life can be enjoyed better with love over anything else."

The actor loves whatever his wife cooks too. "She has amazing culinary skills which we both have discovered thanks to the lockdown period. We both are foodies and she loves to cook the most exotic dishes in the books...Shahi paneer, Dal makhani, Pindi chole to the simplest of dal khichdi is being cooked at home. I usually make the morning bed tea for my wife that she relishes with every sip and thanks me for making it the perfect starter for her day," he says.

To make sure that no one is overloaded with work, both Sharad and Ripci have divided their work. "We have allocated the housework amongst ourselves and it's Ripci who takes care of the kitchen, whipping up some yummy meals and me taking care of the cleanliness of the house," he says. He added, "We being major caffeine addicts, the common thing we do together makes tea/coffee for each other mutiple times in the day."

Ask him what he is planning to gift her, and he says, "We could not spend time with each other all of last year due to our work commitments until this lockdown period began. So now, till we're house arrested, I will be gifting her all of my time  and attention and will probably get her something as we return to normalcy."
