Television queen and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein actress Divyanka Tripathi aka Ishita Bhalla got engaged to her co-star Vivek Dahiya on 15th January, 2015, with only close family members in attendance. Several pictures from their engagement ceremony have found its way on internet.
It has to be recalled that a couple of months back there were rumours of the actress dating her co-star, Vivek Dahiya. There were also reports that the duo is in a strong relationship and is set to get married soon! But later Divyanka came out saying that she is ‘not a casual dating person’. Further she also added that she will get hitched only with her parents consent.
Divyanka was in a relationship with actor Sharad Malhotra for 9 years. The couple parted ways because of issues of commitment to marriage.
Divyanka plays Ishita, while Vivek played ACP Abhishek in the show, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. The two were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the 14th Indian Telly Awards, which gave rise to marriage rumours.
Commenting on recent developments in her life, Divyanka says, “We were introduced to each other by a common friend last August for marriage prospects. After this, it was awkward for us to shoot together. But I don’t think our co-actors ever got a hint. There was no courtship as we were looking at the relationship culminating into marriage. We just wanted it (the ceremony) to be a private affair and didn’t want to jinx it. Now, we are madly in love with each other.”
The two plan on getting married by the end of this year.
