Divyanka stated:
‘’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."
She further added:
‘’ One of the people associated with the show who felt that we had many common traits--we don't party, drink, smoke--introduced us.”
And, here is what Vivek had to say about the same:
‘’It wasn’t love at first sight. It was an arranged match. We were introduced by a common friend who is also a fellow actor. Then we started looking at each other from a life partner’s perspective. We often met after work and eventually started understanding that we are very compatible and similar to each other and we can take it further’’

Talking about the wedding preparations and when the families met for the first time, Vivek happily said:
‘’Yes. Most definitely this year and that will be decided by our parents. We have come this far. We are going to let our parents take us further. Both our families have met. They are extremely fond of each other. It didn’t feel like they were meeting for the first time. We are extremely happy that not just us but even our families have started to share an extremely close bond. All the joking, pulling of each other’s legs started from the first day itself.’’
The two absolutely look much in love and make a very good looking couple indeed. On being asked what they like the most about each other, Divyanka said that it was Vivek's simplicity that attracted her towards him. She also added that he really takes care of her and makes her feel comfortable.
And, here is what Vivek said about his ladylove:
‘’She manages her personal and professional life really well. That she does it beautifully and effortlessly. Sometimes I have to look out for her so that she gives some time for herself to sleep. She can compromise on all those things to balance it out. I feel guilty but it is not something that many would do for their partners.’’
