For the wedding, Charu Asopa was a visual treat in her red lehenga which she had paired with a heavy traditional necklace, a nose ring and a matha patti, while her groom, Rajeev Sen had looked royal in a white ensemble with a royal safa tied on his head and a red shawl thrown away stylishly around one of his arms. Charu and Rajeev had sported same outfits for their Bengali wedding too, accentuating it with topor and mukoot.
Rajeev Sen and Charu Asopa Sen, on their wedding, looked like a match straight out of heaven but do you know if it was love at first sight for them or not? In an interview with the Bombay Times, Charu had earlier stated, "After our first meeting, we had decided to catch up again over coffee, but I left for my hometown, Bikaner. I was on a much-needed break after my show, Jiji Maa, ended. In fact, I hadn’t decided when to return. However, as luck would have it, I was offered KarnSangini and had to report on the set the very next day. I texted Rajeev from the set and told him that we could meet for coffee. I had assumed that the meeting would end in half an hour. However, we went on talking for hours until I told him that I had to leave as I had an early call time the next day. We started chatting, spending time together and the rest, as they say, is history. I don’t know if I can call it love at first sight, but it looks like that.”
What is that one thing that Rajeev Sen and Charu Asopa Sen adore about each other? Charu had remarked, "Rajeev is good-looking and honest. He is more romantic among the two of us. Also, he pampers me and takes care of me. He feels that I am real, simple and without any facade.” Further sharing interesting insights about their relationship, Charu had continued, “Both of us are looking at a relationship for keeps. The best aspect of our relationship is that we are transparent. We know about each other’s past and have never felt the need to hide anything from each other.” (Also Read: Vandana Sajnani Khatter Speaks About Losing One Of Her Twins And Bringing Home Their Miracle Baby)
