Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Stars Confirm Real-Life Romance
In a delightful revelation that has excited television audiences, actress Shagun Sharma has officially confirmed her relationship with co-star Aman Gandhi. The couple, who play siblings Pari and Ritik Virani on the popular show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, revealed they have been dating for over a year, even before they joined the Smriti Irani-led series.
From Screen Siblings to Real-Life Partners
During a candid interview with Hauterfly, Shagun Sharma set the record straight about the dating rumors that had been circulating. "These are not rumours, it's true," the actress declared. "And we didn't start dating on the show; we were seeing each other even before that." This confirmation comes after Aman Gandhi had previously revealed their relationship status on his podcast, mentioning they've been together for more than a year.
The interesting twist in their love story emerged when both actors were cast in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 as brother and sister. Shagun shared that when she was offered her role as Pari Virani, Aman had already been finalized to play Ritik Virani. The actress revealed she had an important discussion with her boyfriend about whether he was comfortable playing her younger sibling on the show before they both committed to the project.
Keeping Romance Secret on Set
Initially, the couple managed to keep their relationship private from the cast and crew. For the first two months of shooting, no one on the sets knew about their romantic involvement. After this period, Shagun and Aman decided to officially inform everyone about their relationship, bringing their real-life connection into the open.
Shagun recently appeared on Aman's podcast Set Pe Charcha, where she acknowledged his significant role in her career decisions. "A very big reason that I am here is this human being," she expressed. "We were having many discussions and were going back and forth. Aman and my sister were confident that I should do this role."
When asked about the unique dynamic of playing siblings while being in a relationship, Shagun explained that their on-screen relationship doesn't affect them much. "Playing your sister on-screen doesn't affect me so much. We don't have scenes where we highlight the relationship so much. What I like is that we get to have lunch together and spend more time together. The friendship between us has gotten stronger."
Aman shared an amusing aspect of their situation - since Shagun plays a negative character on the show, he often gets asked why he's dating her. The actress also mentioned facing some social media hate for her vamp role, though their real-life romance seems to be thriving despite these challenges.
The couple's relationship first caught public attention when they shared loved-up pictures on social media around Valentine's Day this year, sparking dating rumors that have now been happily confirmed. Their journey from secret dating to public acknowledgment while working together on one of television's most popular shows adds a fascinating layer to their love story.
