There is nothing new in two people falling in love while working together. We have a number of examples from the telly land and B-town. Some relationships work out well and become an epitome of what true love is, and then, there are some other relations that don’t last long. Our very own and favourite on-screen pair, Ekta Kaul and Kanan Malhotra of Rab Se Sohna Isshq fame fall under the latter category.

The two of them exchanged rings in 2012, and were supposed to tie the knot by November 2013. Apparently, their compatibility issues cropped up so much that they called off their engagement.
At that time, various online portals quoted sources as saying that the once much-in-love couple were having regular tiffs. While some reports stated that Kanan’s volatile temper and violent behaviour were to be blamed, some said Ekta’s dominating nature was the reason behind the split. Here’s what a source was quoted as saying then:
“Ekta has been putting up with Kanan’s eccentric behaviour for long. She changed her phone number and shifted to a new apartment in order to avoid meeting him.”
One of Kanan’s friends was found blaming Ekta’s behaviour and revealed:
“She is quite dominating and possessive. This prompted Kanan to find solace outside.”
As soon as the actors parted ways, Kanan moved on in life and went on to marry an interior designer from Delhi named, Aakanksha Dhingra. They met through their families and it was an arranged marriage. They exchanged rings on December 26, 2013, and walked down the aisle on May 1, 2014.

At this time, a famous entertainment portal digged deep into the matter and asked Ekta’s take on her broken engagement with Kanan and his wedding to another girl. Here’s what the soft-spoken actress then stated:
“See there is no use talking about it. There were a lot of reasons. My family knows it. Kanan’s family knows it. I don’t think I need to justify or defend myself on any platform. People who matter to me have supported me. I opted out of the situation and escaped. I even changed my number and shifted to not face this chaos. But now it’s all history. We are not in contact anymore. And now that Kanan is happily married, all I can say is God bless him. Let’s not get into it.”
And when she was probed if this was the end of love and relationships in her life, she replied:
“One experience shouldn’t decide the fate of your entire life. I am very optimistic and haven’t given up on love or relationships. But right now my priority is my career. I want to work hard and prove myself.”
Some people take their own time in realising what has happened to them and this exactly has been the case with Ekta. And now, it seems that our beautiful actress too has moved on in life. If reports are to be believed, Ekta is soon getting married. Yes, you heard us right!
Talking about the same, she was quoted as saying:
“I do not want to go into details of my personal life. I have always wanted to get married to a guy who understands me and someone whom I can talk to without any reluctance.”

She further added:
“I have found my soulmate. Marriage is important and it is not an easy ride as you have to constantly work on it."
In fact, this was the reason why she quit the show, Mere Angne Mein, in February 2017. She herself confessed that owing to her personal reasons she quit the show. She said:
“Yes, I am quitting the show owing to good personal reasons.”
Though she did say that she has found her soulmate and it will be no surprise if she will be seen in her real life shaadi ka joda soon, but she didn’t tell who the lucky guy is! But while scrolling down her social media, we came acorss one of her pictures with a famous photographer, Tanmay. Here it is:
She captioned it this:
“Missing happening @tanmay_photography”
Then, we stalked Tanmay’s Instagram account, and he too posted a picture of them both sometime back:
He captioned it this:
“Major missing @ektakaul11”
And here goes the entire conversation in the comments:
So, is he the lucky guy?
