#10. Gautami Kapoor 

Surprisingly, the charming lady, Gautami Kapoor has walked down the aisle much before we have thought of. It’s a well-known fact that she was dating actor Ram Kapoor during Ghar Ek Mandir and the wedding bells rang for them in 2003.

But let’s undo the truth that it’s her second marriage and the actress was earlier married to commercial photographer Madhur Shroff. Well, the flashback neither affected her second marriage nor her success and fame.

#11. Hiten Tejwani 

Here’s another well-known personality who was a married man much before he established himself in the industry. He and his co-star Gauri Pradhan were basking in the limelight for their superb acting skills in Kutumb and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

And people thought that it was during the making of the serial that they fell in love and got hitched. Well, the fact which got overlooked was Hiten's first marriage which had happened quite before he made a name for himself. As his first relationship failed, life gave him a second chance with Gauri.

When these celebs' marriage happened behind closed doors, it was definitely surprising and shocking for many. But, today the same celebrities stand tall as examples of confidence and prove that if you are keen, nothing can stop you from being successful and famous. After all, it’s challenging for an actor to be married and making it big in the industry.
