They met on the sets of Pyar Kii Ek Kahaani and Vahbiz feels that they were destined to be together. "We both are quite adventurous and passionate about our work. We are not similar to each other, but do share some common interests. It was not love at first sight as initially I didn't speak to him on the sets. It was at the first outdoor shoot in Panchgani when I spoke to him and the lovely weather just added to it," says Vahbbiz.

We may get married by early 2013," says Vahbbiz.

For instance, we both are foodies and enjoy indulging in various cuisines," says Sargun. When quizzed on marriage, she adds, "Right now we both are concentrating on our work. Considering our hectic shooting schedules, I think we will have to take a break and think about our marriage which most likely will happen by next year." >
