Sharad Malhotra and Ripci Malhotra have been enjoying their marital bliss to the fullest, and sometime back, they had gone for a mini-honeymoon to Udaipur. Sharad and Ripci had delighted their fans with frequent glimpses from their Udaipur honeymoon. In an interview earlier, Sharad had talked about his honeymoon plans and had revealed that he has been planning for Europe, somewhere around July. Sharad, who is currently working in Muskaan, had also put in a request to his producers to adjust his work schedule.
Seems like, his producers agreed, and Sharad Malhotra planned his Europe honeymoon in such a way that he could celebrate his wife, Ripci Malhotra’s birthday too, in a special way. Sharad and Ripci had jetted off for their honeymoon to Europe, four months after their marriage, and speaking about coordinating the trip with her birthday, he had stated to The Times Of India, "It was Ripci's idea to go to Europe and it was my idea to club both our honeymoon and her birthday. We got here a few days back and we intend to travel to Luzern, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen and Bern too. We hope to get a taste of the capital city and the little Swiss towns as well."
On August 10, 2019, i.e., Ripci Malhotra’s birthday, her doting husband, Sharad Malhotra gave a glimpse of their Swiss holiday with a heartfelt wish for his wife. Posting a sun-kissed picture of the much-in-love couple, Sharad wrote, “Would love to celebrate your birthday everyday my darling wifey @ripci.bhatia #birthdaycelebrationsnowandalltheyeararound #swissalps #engelberg #inlovewithswitzerland #mounttitlis #comingbacksoon #ripsha #happywalabirthday.” (Also Read: Arjun Kapoor Acts Possessive When Host Karan Tacker Flirts With His GF Malaika Arora At IFFM [Video])

Speaking about how life has been treating them after marriage, Sharad was quoted as saying by The Times Of India, "I finally managed to get a couple of days off from my gruelling daily soap routine and my producers and team were also kind enough to work things around to make this happen. Life after marriage has definitely changed because as a bachelor, you are just answerable to yourself and the responsibilities are much lesser compared to a married man whose life revolves not just around him but his better half as well. A few adjustments, some amendments, conditioning of the mind, patience, trust, love, cooperation and most importantly time are the main ingredients for a healthy and happy marriage."
February 14, 2019, is marked as a special day for Sharad Malhotra and his then-fiancée, Ripci Bhatia, as on the ‘day of love’, the lovebirds had decided to make their relationship official. Ripci had shared a post on her Instagram handle wherein she had flaunted the solitaire engagement ring that the ‘man of her life’ gave to her. The picture was taken at the Marine Drive, Mumbai, and she had captioned it as “Each day.. All day.. In love.. now and forever” followed by ring and heart emojis. She also ended her caption with the hashtags, #isaidyes, #happyvalentinesday, #themostbeautifulone, #memories and #anighttoremember.
In an interview with the Bombay Times before his wedding, Sharad Malhotra had opened his heart out about maintaining relationships and dealing with heartbreaks. He had stated, “When I was introduced to Ripci, I had just come out of a relationship and was going through a difficult phase. Initially, we would just exchange occasional pleasantries on social media. It was only after Ganpati last year that we got talking on the phone, which was after my last relationship ended. What connected us probably was our fear of marriage. In fact, Ripci travelled the world for six years to avoid marriage, as the pressure on a girl at her age was mounting. I would have loved to do that, too, but I was constantly working. It’s only recently that our families got involved after we spoke over the phone for a few days. Both of us instantly realised that this is it and decided to take the plunge.” (Also Read: Mira Rajput Kapoor Is Completely Smitten By Hubby, Shahid Kapoor's Looks, Leaves Steaming Comment)
