In an interview with a famous online portal, BollywoodLife, Sharad talked about his personal as well as professional lives. He shared about his birthday celebrations as well as his wedding plans that might take place this year itself. Sharing the details about his birthday celebrations, he said, "My celebrations started day before yesterday.”
He further added, “I got so many cakes, gifts and beautiful handmade cards from my fans. The efforts they take make me feel truly blessed. I also got some love letters. I know they're kind of inappropriate for a birthday, but it is their love at the end of the day”.
Talking about his wedding plans and the fact that he is fine with an arranged marriage, Sharad was quoted as saying, "My mom has been pestering me. She really wants me to settle down now. I have been living alone for a long time now in the city. In fact, I feel I always got so busy in my professional pursuits that I did not focus on other things. I want to strike a balance in 2019. I don't mind an arranged marriage but let's see how things go. But then, it is not like my mom is flooding me with pictures of prospective girls."

For the ones who don’t know, Sharad once dated famous television actress and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein star, Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya for seven long years before calling it quits in 2015. While talking to a leading entertainment show, Sharad Malhotra stated, “When you are in love with that person you call him/her your world but when you get separated you start abusing them, this is wrong. If you are in love then express it and if you are not then respect that person. I try my best to not hurt people intentionally. Unintentionally, I have hurt many people many times."

After her, she fell in love with his Splitsvilla fame, Pooja Bisht, but things didn't workout there also and their relationship went kaput. Confirming the news of their break up with Pooja, Sharad was quoted as saying, “There were personal issues from my end. I tried to make the relationship work, but our differences were irrevocable. Pooja is a nice girl and it was great till it lasted. I wish her all the best.” Pooja revealed the real reason behind their split and stated, “Sharad started acting weird around six months ago when he suddenly became inattentive and disinterested. However, I assumed that it was because of stress at work; I couldn’t fathom that he was planning to end the relationship.” (Also Read: Sushant Singh Rajput Can't Stop Praising Ex-GF, Ankita Lokhande For Her Performance In Manikarnika)
In an interview with the SpotboyE, Pooja candidly spoke about her relationship with Sharad and what happened between the duo. When asked if she proposed marriage to Sharad, she clarified, “I never asked him for marriage. In fact, he was asking me to marry him. Frankly, even I wouldn't be able to tell why he did what he did. Really, God knows what happened. But maybe like everything happens for good, I think this one too must be having its silver lining.” (Do Check: Neetu Kapoor Calls Alia Bhatt And Ranbir Kapoor Her 'Heartbeats', Soni Razdan Comments On The Same)
And when she was asked how long he had been asking for the wedding, she remarked, “He has been asking me for marriage from Day 1. He even spoke to my mom about it--- and then vanished. Again, he popped up the same question after six months.” She further continued, “This was almost a repeated thing that was happening- he would ask for my hand and then after few days, say, 'No, I am not ready for marriage yet. Hamari ladaiyaan ho rahi hai'.”
Wishing the dashing birthday boy, Sharad Malhotra a very happy birthday and all the health, happiness and success!
