The actor got divorced to Shivani Tanksale last year and he told The Indian Express that he wasn’t cynical to fall in love again. He said, “Not cynical but initially I was scared to fall in love again. It’s a natural thing. But with time I realised that it could not go on like that. We grow up, we become mature and it also depends a lot on the people you meet. I am in a happy space again and we are positively looking at this new start.”
He revealed that Ekta was like a breath of fresh air, despite the fact that the two of them didn’t have much in common. He narrated his story to Humans of Bombay and said, “I’d been single for sometime–you know that phase where your friends say, ‘you’re single, doing well, don’t get into a relationship’?–I tried but got over it quickly. Around then, I met her.. at shows & on sets, but I didn’t know how to pursue her! She tweeted about my show & we started talking–I invited her to my play & we went out after! We ended up talking for hours about acting. By the third time, I had a feeling she wasn’t getting it! So I specified, ‘This is a date okay? & she just nodded!
She’s not from the acting circuit–she was discovered by chance. It was a breath of fresh air! I’ve been around serious artists all my life.. this was so different! Even our choices didn’t match! The first movie we watched was La la land–I came out of it emotional & she was like eh! I thought oh no–how’s this going to work?
When we started dating, I was at sea. How do I impress her? I told her that I’m kind of famous as this character, Mikesh..She wasn’t bothered! When people asked me for photographs- she’d wonder why! The next time we met, she’d watched my entire show! I asked her how–it was so long-she said she watched it while getting ready! I was confused–Why wasn’t it affecting her! But that’s how I knew she was with me for the right reasons. It’s not one big moment when you know you’ve met ‘the one’. It’s how they make you feel everyday; if they make you a better person & she does.
But one such moment was last year during holi! I rode my bike to a party & had a little bit of bhang. I was in no state to ride. She saw that & took the keys –I thought she was joking! I mean it was a Bullet! But she just got on & off we went, me in the backseat & my lady driving the bullet. I thought then, Man! I’m going to marry her! She’s the one!
But, all of a sudden she left for Jammu because she realised acting wasn’t for her! I knew then that I wanted to do everything to make this work. I asked her to move back for our relationship–to give us a chance. Thankfully, she agreed, but I didn’t want to risk it, so this year on my birthday, I popped the question! She was so happy, she had a childlike smile & I swear even though I gave her a ring, it’s me who found the diamond!”
Ekta posted some pictures with him sometime back and they’re adorable! She captioned it and wrote, “Dear best friend. Waiting for you.. jaldi aao aur mujhe le jao.. 15 days more.. ??#terimerishadi #ashuanky @sumeetvyas ❤️”
