It’s bidaai time for Parul, who became the household name with her role of a dusky girl, Ragini in Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai, as she is all set to tie the knot with her long-time boyfriend, Chirag Thakkar. In an interview with Bombay Times, Parul talked about her wedding details and her fiancé, Chirag. Revealing details about her wedding, she said, “My family and relatives have been waiting for me to get married. Everybody had this question, so finally, yes, the time has come. I am getting married on December 12. We haven’t zeroed in on the venue yet. But there will be a court marriage in Mumbai, followed by a small function in my hometown Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, and a get-together in Mumbai."
Parul met the love of her life three years ago, and further sharing how everything transpired between the both of them and eventually between the families, she stated, "Chirag is not my boyfriend, he is my friend. We have not dated in the conventional term. If having coffee together and sharing everything with your best friend amounts to dating, then yes, we dated for three years.”
The Punar Vivah - Ek Nayi Umeed actress went on to say, “I met Chirag in 2015 through a common friend and found him to be completely different from the people I come across usually. He is a simple and rooted guy. He did not propose to me. We have been good friends and everything is progressing slowly. I realised that I should marry a guy like him when I started to know him better, as he would always keep his companion happy. Last year, when my mother visited me during Diwali I invited Chirag and his family for the puja. When my mother met Chirag, she said that she wanted a son-in-law like him. The two families eventually talked about it and finally, we are getting married.” (Also Read: Bharti Singh Talks About Her Pregnancy, Wants To Perform On-Stage Till The Last Day Of Her Pregnancy)
Parul talked about her equation with the Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai producer, Rajan Shahi and said that she went to take his blessings when no one knew about Chirag. Parul remarked, “No one knows about my marriage besides my family and him. I was in London when I wanted to tell him about Chirag, but I chose to talk to him in person. He was very happy and that was visible on his face. He met Chirag on the auspicious day of Ganesh Chaturthi. Rajan sir told Chirag to take care of his daughter and keep her happy always, to which Chirag happily said, ‘yes’.”
Parul Chauhan took the snapshot of her interview which got published on a leading daily, and shared it on Instagram. She captioned it, “I believe marriage is lifelong commitment and friendship is a life long engagement.! Chirag, every single day I spent being your friend, I realise how lucky I am to live such a amazing life.!! By choosing best friend for marriage, I chose happiness for life .! You are the best thing happened to me.! Thank you very much to Rajan sir who always treats me like his daughter and being always my mentor and family..! Thank you my family and friends and fans for unconditional love Chirag I have no words to explain but one thing I would like to tell you that, in you I have found unconditional love for friendship and you will be my closest truest friend forever #weddingbells #amazinglife #soexcited #happyme #becauselifeisbeautiful”.
In another 'Friendship Day Special' interview with a media portal, Parul talked about her best friend Chirag and was quoted as saying, "My best friend is Chirag Thakkar; he is a proper definition of a friend for me. I met him through a co-actor and it’s been almost two years since then. He has taught me everything from how to manage my finances to my work. He has taught me to live life and made me strong emotionally." (Also Read: Isha Ambani And Anand Piramal To Get Officially Engaged On Saturday In Italy, Wedding Details Inside)
