TOI: Why is Jodha hiding her marriage?

Paridhi Sharma, married for over two years, continues to evade questions on her relationship status...

Keep mum on marriage " that seems to be the norm in telly land these days. While some small-screen actors fear that it may make a dent in their fan following (among the opposite sex, obviously) others believe it will hamper their career.

The latest to keep her marital status under wraps "for reasons best known to her" is television's Jodha. According to sources, Paridhi Sharma got married to Tanmai Saksena, an Ahmedabad-based non-industry guy, over two years.

"Theirs is a love marriage. Tanmai shuttles between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to spend quality time with his wife. He even visits her on the set of the show. It is believed that Paridhi has been asked by the production house to keep mum on her marital status," says a source. The actress, of course, evaded the question by saying it's too personal.

Other actors quiet about marital status
Dipika Samson: She had tied the knot with Raunak Mehta, a non-industry guy, in December, 2008. It is said she was asked by the channel and the production house to remain tight-lipped about her marriage. They felt it could hamper the show, in which she played an eligible spinster in the beginning. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't work out.

Barun Sobti: In 2010, he tied the knot with non-industry girl Pashmeen Manchanda, who also happens to be his first girlfriend. Barun says he never talked about his marriage because he was not asked about it.
Avinesh Rekhi: He tied the knot on December 29, 2010, with his girlfriend of eight years, Raisa. This was even before his acting debut. Like Barun, he says he was never asked about his marriage. Avinesh says he is not bothered if it affects his fan following.
