Marriage is just a formality

...says actor Gurmeet who is all set to tie the knot with his fiancee

Akash Wadhwa

We are getting married in February," says television actor Gurmeet Choudhary aka Maan of "Geet Hui Sabse Parayi", who was recently in town. "Debina and I have been in a relationship for more than seven years now and marriage for us is just a formality. It will not change anything between us." But what actually changed this couple was their experience in "Pati, Patni Aur
Woh". "The serial actually taught me what fatherhood is all about and that parenting is not such an easy task. I have an idea now on how I will be dealing with my child during the different stages."
And though it may have been Gurmeet's first visit to the city, the man says he came well informed about it. "We have so many actors in our industry from Lucknow. And my dear friend Abbas Khan, who is also an actor is from Lucknow told me a lot about this city." So what did he tell Gurmeet about Lucknow? "The first and the
foremost thing that I know about Lucknow is its tehzeeb. Also, I know that yahan pe bahut sare khandaani log rehte hain. Plus, one thing that everyone knows about the city is the kebabs," he says.
Gurmeet has been in news for his bold romantic scene with co-star Drishti. When asked how does it feel doing such scenes on the small screen, he points out: "Things on television have changed. Romance is no more about blurred scenes. Today, I have a good body and a confidence to show it to the world on television in my romantic shots, so why not! And if the audience thinks that our serial will show anything beyond this, then they should stop worrying about that. Hum romance ke naam pe isse zyada kuch nahi dikhanenge," he smiles. Ask him how her fiancee reacts to such scenes and he laughs and adds, "Debina is very critical about my romantic scenes but thankfully being from the same industry she understands that I am romancing in reel life and not real life with my co-star." .
