If we ask what's common between TV
actors like Ankita Lokhande and
Sushant Singh Rajput; Gurmeet
Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee;
Karan Kundra and Kritika Kamra;
Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta, or the
earlier pairings Hiten Tejwani-Gauri
Pradhan and Ram Kapoor-Gautami
Gadgil, the answer is simple. These
are all reel-couples who today are
couples in real life too. With their
crackling chemistry, small screen's
reel life couples make their viewers
fall in love with them. Many a times,
these couples end up falling in love
with each other for real too and become a hit jodi off-screen as well.
Actor Mahi Vij, who is now
married to her once onscreen
love interest, actor Jay
Bhanushali, feels that they
have better understanding of
each other's hectic lifestyle and
schedules which mostly becomes an
issue if the partner isn't from the
same field. "It's true that when you
work daily and regularly together,
reel life couples do tend to end up becoming real too. Your partner understands you better as both know what
it is to be working in a daily soap.
There are no insecurities and the
wavelength matches too," says Mahi.
Actor Angad Hasija feels that spending all the
time together on sets because of long shooting
hours is one of the reasons. "Reel life couples often become real life as the close proximity creates
a bond and they fall in love. It makes them understand each other better, especially the erratic
shoot schedule and lifestyle of the TV industry.
But then for some couples being from the same
profession doesn't work, as they talk about acting
and shows all the time. There are ego hassles and
differences too tend to crop up which may lead to
marital woes. It takes two to tango actually," says
Angad.
TV producer Hemal Thakkar feels its a common phenomenon today." Reel life couple becoming a couple in real life is common. As both are
from the same profession, it surely helps to an extent, as they understand the complications and
hard work behind the scene. It's definitely encouraging when either gives feedback to improve
their work as well as personality," he adds.
