TOGETHER @ HOME & WORK
Shweta Teotia finds out what it is like for a prime time actor to be married to a co-star
In the television world, married co-stars have many advantages — off-screen romance fuels their on-screen draw, their 'sets drive' remains intact since sets often replace home (thanks to erratic schedules) and they don't have to deal with partners worrying over 'friendships' with co-stars. Even the balance sheet works out fine — EMIs are better handled, jaunts abroad become frequent and the floor-space of homes increases. In the last couple of years, many actors in the TV industry have walked down the aisle together. Here's taking a look at some of them.
Soulmates now
Their Maharashtrian-Sindhi romance began when they met while shooting for Kutumb. Her parents approved of Hiten, though he was a divorcee, and soon the two were married. "Gauri is my soulmate," says Hiten, who loves her fish curry, Maharashtrian style
GAURI PRADHAN HITEN TEJWANI
The soft-spoken, obliging Hiten is a perfect foil to the toffee-nosed Gauri. He is affable and easy, she wears a touch-me-not air. With personas as dissimilar as chalk and cheese, they are a prime example of 'opposites attract'. But Hiten insists they are alike. How? "We like to go out for parties, enjoy a drink or two, and generally love being around each other." He misses out an important point — that the two are untiringly diplomatic. And no, we are not hauling them over the coals. It's a great way to be, one that ensures that things are always smooth, sans complaints.
Their Maharashtrian-Sindhi romance began when they met while shooting for a show called Kutumb. They had already paired up for a commercial earlier. Soon, sparks flew. Her parents approved of Hiten, though he was a divorcee, and soon the two were married. "Love can happen anytime. Once a relationship has soured, it's over. One must move on. Gauri is my soulmate," says Hiten, who loves her fish curry, Maharashtrian style. She, on her part, is a complete sucker for the flowers he continues to buy her, day after day. Friends say Gauri often lays down the rules. Is he okay with her being the woman-on-top? "It's not entirely like that. It's a two-way thing. You give some and you get some," Hiten says, dismissing it as hearsay. Their fun-times together include going for long drives, and doing the laundry together. Now, with Gauri's Spanish lessons and yoga classes, the couple gets to spend more time together.
