Sheena Bajaj is 24, and Rohit Purohit is 29, did their age-gap pose a hindrance for their wedding? Rohit had answered before their wedding, “The age factor doesn’t really matter. In fact, in my case, my parents felt that I was ready for marriage when I turned 22. So, in that sense, I am already late (laughs!). Sheena and I have been together for five years and it felt right to take the plunge.”
Three months after the wedding, Sheena Bajaj is celebrating one of the most important festivals, Gangaur wherein the wife worships Gauri or Parvati, who symbolizes Saubhagya, for the welfare, health and long life of her husband and for a happy married life. Dressed in a white kurti and orange palazzo, Sheena made for a perfect newbie bride. She also posted a story as the henna was being applied on her feet and she wrote ‘Rohit mere saiyaan super’ with mehendi on her palm.
It was Sheena Bajaj and Rohit Purohit's first Holi post-wedding, and speaking about the double excitement for the same, Sheena had shared in an interview with Mid-Day, "It going to be very special as my in-laws are here. There is a ritual where the Saas and Bahu don't stay in the same house for a day and they don't see the same Holi burning. So for that one day, I'll be staying with my family. But my mother in law is so fond of me that she really does not want me to go. She says that she'll really miss me as when I'm not home, there is no entertainment!" Further talking about how she likes to play Holi, Sheena added, "I just like doing Pooja. I don't like to play Holi at all ...I think Mumbai has a lot of shortage of water and we should save it so as an individual I do my bit. Also, it causes a lot of air pollution and there are colours which are very bad for the skin. Plus these fall on animals and they harm them too. I have never really played Holi. I just put a tika max."

The Best of Luck Nikki actress had shared, “We met on the set of Arjun and I developed a liking for him. We stayed in touch even after the show went off air and started dating six months later.
