Did you have to make adjustments before and after
marriage to ones like and dislikes?
G: He might have made. (laughs)
H: See if you like a person you make adjustments
automatically. I don't see any problem with that.
G: I'm not a difficult person a person to live with but
for me everything has to be done in a particular way.
There are no changes. So a person living with me has to
make some adjustments. And I'm sure he has made them.
So who calls the shots at home?
H: (Just points at Gauri and laughs)
G: (explaining) Hey I don't call the shots! It's just
that I say things impulsively. It is only later that I
ponder over it and then ask Hiten as to what does he
think and seek his opinion. I know whatever he will say
he will say so for my own good. There's a great
understanding between us.
H: Mutual understanding and trust are the base of every
relationship
Hiten, tell us that one thing about Gauri that nobody
knows?
H: She maintains a tough exterior but is a real softie
at heart. She cares a lot.
And what is the one thing you dislike about her?
G: That he will never say! (laughs)! But I know-my short
temper!
H: That does not make me dislike her because I know the
way her anger shoots up it comes down equally fast. When
she is angry I just leave her alone. And after two
minutes I go back to her and everything is fine. She has
always been short tempered. In 24 hours in a day she
gets angry at least 25 times that too for a little
while. And then she is back to being herself. I saw her
first smile after six months when we began shooting for
Kutumb. I knew she must be smiling, talking to friends
and enjoying life but nobody got to see that side of
her. I myself saw it on the sets after working with her
for six months. She has mellowed down a lot now.
G: I was always reserved. I used to love to read so I
used sit in one corner and read. I come on the sets to
do my work, complete it and go home. H: She is always
been very professional that way.
G: I was not interested in anything other than my work.
Love just happened. I didn't have to go down on my knees
and tell her, 'I love you.' We both just knew that we
wanted to get married - Hiten
Gauri, what do you like about Hiten?
G: He's very honest. He has a wonderful sense of humour.
He is very understanding. There a certain thing I just
can't handle and I lose my temper. But he will always be
calm and make me understand things.
And dislike?
G: What I dislike about him? (Thinks). I can't think of
anything (laughs). Actually he is so nice that people
just walk all over him. Sometimes when I see someone
doing it I get just get so angry. Why do people take
advantage of a genuinely nice guy?H: But that's the case
everywhere.
G: It is now after marriage that he has learnt to be a
little bit curt so that people don't take him for a
ride. Still the change is very little ten percent may
be. Otherwise he is the same Hiten. He also makes it a
point to come home immediately after shooting.
H: Ya... what will happen if I don't rush home... I will
be made to sleep in the lift (grins).
The serial Kutumb had you play a couple with differences
who later find redemption and then in second part of
Kutumb you play a close couple who separate because of
differences? And in the serial Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi
Bahu Thi you are compelled to separate even though you
love each other. How do you analyse this?
G: They are just characters we play. We give it our all.
But once we are out of the studio nothing matters.
H: We don't even discuss our characters.
G: Thirteen hours we work here and then go home and
discuss the same thing. How desperate can we get? I
don't want my life to be like that!
They say that husband and wife should never work
together as the individual space is cramped. Do you ever
discuss this?
G: (pointing to Hiten) I don't think he needs space...!
If he had a choice he would be with me 24 hours
(Laughs). See, it is not that we are together all the
time. Today after a long time we are shooting together
for Kyunki... So we get our space. Also I see to it that
I have my separate room on the sets. I can just ask to
be left alone. And even if we are working together we
manage to get our space at home.
What would you do if either of you came to know that the
other was in a relationship outside marriage?
H: (confidently) Mere saath ye nahi hoga. It'll never
happen so there's no need for me to think about it at
all! (laughs)
G: With him it's not possible. He would never do! Even
if it happens then I have to accept that it is lost. You
cannot make the other person stay with you. You cannot
make the other person love you. Then it is up to you how
you take it. I'm forgiving but I never forget.
Future plans?
H: Right now I am focused on my serials. After this year
I shall start looking for work in films. But I plan to
continue to work on television. I may cut down on
television work though if I get films.
G: I'm open to doing films now earlier I wasn't! I don't
have any future plans as such. I prefer to live in the
present and me and hiten are having a family might be
leaving ksbkbt but dont know yet.
She's an introvert. He, an extrovert. She's short
tempered. He's calm. She is controlled and on guard,
while he is casual and approachable. Gauri Pradhan and
Hiten Tejwani, the married couple of Kutumb and lovers
of the popular serial Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,
are as different as chalk and cheese. Yet, it is these
differences that bind them together making them a cute
two-some who have just begun to tread the journey of
life as husband and wife. Here, they talk about how two
strangers who met for the first time for a commercial
became real life partners without either of them
formally proposing the other
Their first encounter?
Gauri: I distinctly remember it was at the airport when
we were leaving for Hyderabad! We were to shoot a soap
ad for Rajiv Menon. The ad later became very popular.
Hiten: The client, whom we were to do the ad for,
introduced us. He said, "This is Gauri and this is
Hiten." That was the only thing we spoke through out the
three days shoot. So you can imagine how reserved Gauri
is! I thought she was just like other models thorough
professional and wanting to remain aloof. You know how
most models are! They prefer to be with themselves. They
don't like anybody treading their area...
G (cutting in): Models aren't like that...
H: Most of them are... they want to sit separately with
their nose sunk in their book. Weren't you neck deep
into your book? I thought she wanted to be with herself.
I said to myself, "Let's not disturb her. I should let
her be."
G: (smiling) Ya... I was just to myself. And I did not
even think about him so as to form any kind of an
impression. I just wanted to finish work and leave.
Hiten, did that make you wary of approaching Gauri
because of her on-guard behaviour?
H: Nothing like that! But I feel that with whomsoever I
work I think we should be slightly friendly so as to be
comfortable with each other while working. It is
important for the comfort level come across during the
shoot. But since she was to herself I let her be. I did
my job. She did hers! I never thought that I would meet
her ever again.
G: Till Kutumb happened. That's the second time we met.
So was the usually reserved Gauri open to friendship
now?
G: For me to call someone a friend takes time. It
started after six months of doing Kutumb. Initially it
was just "hi!" and "hullo!" It was precisely after six
months that we gradually began talking and discussing
scenes. It was then that I got to know him a little bit
and began thinking of him. I thought here was a guy full
of life. Always cheerful! Making others laugh! You know
all this while we had worked and never once had I seen a
frown on his face. From a spot boy to the director
everybody felt absolutely comfortable with him. They
were friendly with him. I also noticed how the unit
missed his presence when he was not around or not
required for the shoot.
How did the two friends turn lovers?
H: Love just happened! Of course it took its own course
I guess when we got to know each other well. We never
realized when love happened, seriously!
G: Our love story is different. It was not one of those
love-at-first-sight kind!
H: We shared excellent rapport and compatibility. There
was an unsaid understanding between us. I don't know
whether it happens with every couple or not. Like I
didn't have to go down on my knees and tell her "listen,
I love you." (Laughs)
What made the feeling of love apparent then?
G: I'm particular about people I become friendly with.
For instance I would never allow anybody to message me
or have my phone number but the fact that I gave him my
number showed that I had a special feeling for him.
Little things like messaging each other. Calling each
other once in a while. So you begin to realize that you
feel something for that person. You do not know what it
is but there's something. I began thinking about him. I
guess everybody does! At that point of time I didn't
realize that I was thinking about him all the time but
subconsciously I was doing it!
I don't think Hiten needs space... If he had a choice he
would want to be with me all 24 hours... - gauri
H: What was happening was that we were practically
together everyday shooting for Kutumb. But she'd be
shooting for 15 days while I used to shoot for 35 days.
The rest 20 days I used to miss her terribly. I'd sms
her then...
G: And strangely even before we actually began seeing
each other people used to ask me if I was actually going
around with him because the chemistry between us was so
good.
...And then the inevitable-marriage!
H: We both knew that we wanted to get married.
G: Ya... It was sometime in December last year we
realized that but none of us said it. In January I told
my parents that there was someone special in my life and
I wanted to get married to him. My parents told me that
since you have already decided to marry him then why the
delay. "Why don't you just get married now?" they said.
H: My family already knew about Gauri. They also more or
less knew that I was going to marry her.
G: And we got married in April this year.
