For the unaware ones, Shoaib and Dipika met at the sets of Sasural Simar Ka and eventually fell in love. The lovebirds took their own sweet time to open about their relationship. Dipika once stated, "I wanted to be sure that this relationship wasn't on the rebound. Also, we were getting to know each other better. No matter how progressive we become, being a divorcee has some kind of a social stigma attached to it in our society. I had that stamp on me. But he gave me that space and despite being aware of my past, never complained about it."
Shoaib and Dipika tied the knot on February 22, 2018, in a traditional Muslim wedding in Shoaib’s hometown, Bhopal. For the wedding, the actress converted to Islam and was quoted as saying, “Joh sach hai woh hai (Truth is the truth). It's true I have done it, but why and when I have done it, don't think it needs to be talked about. I think it is a very personal matter and I don't think I need to talk about it openly in front of the media. For the audience and media, we are actors have always shared everything. All our happy moments we have shared with you all, but this I think is a very personal space and I don't give anyone the permission to enter the space. Definitely, it is true and I am not denying it. I am very happy and proud that I have done it for myself and my happiness. My family was with me in this decision and my intentions were to hurt anyone. This is my decision.” (Do Read: Taimur Ali Khan And Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'Love In Paris' Photo Is Every Bit Cutesy And Unmissable)
Talking about her decision of an inter-religion marriage, she opened up, “I feel that when you are a celebrity you are constantly under the scanner and there are people who love you, but then there are also people who try to bring you down. We have always taken decisions in life only keeping our family in mind, if they are happy and fine then rest of the world doesn't matter to us. I don't consider myself a celebrity, we are very simple people and we like to lead a simple life.”
Do you know when the two realised that it’s love? In an interview, Dipika shared, “When Shaoib quit SSK we still met and kept in touch, but when he went to Bhopal for a month and he was completely out of sight that's when we realized that it is love. The toughest part for me was when he left to shoot in Bikaner for 40 days in 2015 that was the most difficult phase.” Shoaib nodded to the same and added, “The same 40 days played an important role in bringing Dipika closer to my family. After I came back I realized my mother and sister always talked about her first.”
Shoaib, we wish all the very best for your debut film!
