Back in 2002, four doctors, Dr Juhi Singh, Dr Omi Joshi, Dr Simran Chopra and Dr Rahul Mehra, walked fresh out of medical school to practice under the wing of Dr Shashank and in no time, they became household names. With every mention of Sanjivani, we can still hear the tune of the serial playing back in our minds. Soon, we were introduced to another good-looking doctor in the show, Dr Aman and it not only changed the actor, Arjun J Punjj’s professional life for the best, but his personal life too, never remained the same after the show. Arjun found his soulmate on the show, Sanjivani, and she was none other than Dr Juhi a.k.a., Gurdip Kohli. It was Arjun and Gurdip’s similarities that brought them closer while working together and soon, their friendship blossomed into love.

On Meher Punjj’s tenth birthday last year, Gurdip Punjj had posted a series of pictures of her shining star and expressed her feelings on how time is flying so fast as she misses carrying her little one around everywhere. Gurdip had written, “Happiest 10th birthday my princess....and how time flies I am so happy that you are shaping into my shinning star but somewhere I miss carrying u around everywhere and keeping you always clinged to my heart ... I thank and pray to god to always bless you in your beautiful life... and like I always say will say it again Thankyou for being my MEHER #mydaughtermypride #mydaughtermyjoy #bestdaughterever.” Arjun J Punjj had kept his wish, sweet, simple and crisp but it spoke volumes about his love for Meher. Arjun had written, “A very Happy b'day to the love of my life. #Meherpunjj. May all your dreams come true.”
Back in 2018-19, when Gurdip Punjj had played the character of Jodha, Akbar's third wife, Salim's mother in the show, Dastaan-E-Mohabbat Salim Anarkali, she was often asked about playing a mother’s role to a grown-up. Addressing the questions and revealing that since she is a mother of two, she had no qualms in playing the role on-screen as motherhood comes naturally to her, Gurdip had said in an interview with the Bombay Times, “People have seen me mature as an actor, so they offer me roles keeping that in mind. Also, this is a historical show and we know that women would get married at an early age back then. It’s a strong character and I am too excited to play the part. I am a mother of two in real life and so, maternal love comes naturally to me. That makes it easier to portray my character with conviction.” (Also Read: Nakuul Mehta's Wife, Jankee Shares Her 4-Months-Pregger Photo With A Fun Story Of Their Son's Name)
