Shivalika got married to Sameer Deshmukh, an investment adviser based in Mumbai at the end of November. Interestingly, her shooting schedule started with a sequence where she was getting married on-screen too.

The actress getting wedding jitters but the crew members and the creative team came to her rescue. The unit members suggested she take a crash course in wedding and related stuff while shooting.

Says an excited Shivalika, "Like every girl, I was getting wedding jitters, but the entire team really helped me getting in sync with the idea. In fact, it was like a practise session for me, and believe me it really helped me.

Moreover, they accommodated my schedules when I took off for my wedding and a long leave honeymoon to Singapore and Thailand. Our shooting is going to start next week and I am really looking forward to it."

Producer J D Majethia says, "She started off with a wedding sequence and it was her actual wedding later. We adjusted her dates since she plays a key role.

All the actors obviously had a tough time with the re-arrangement, but I convinced them that we should co-operate with her so that she does not have a problem with her in-laws. Our second schedule is starting next week, and she is gung-ho about her work."
