Coincidentally, Karan already plays the role of Abhay Bhargava’s (Ankita’s father) on-screen son-in-law in the show, Ye Hai Mohabbatein. And, many people expected her father to have made this match possible. However, it was Karan’s another co-star from the same show, Aly Goni, who played cupid between the two.
In fact, when Karan was asked during one of his interviews if his reel-life father-in-law was the matchmaker, he replied:
“Not really. I have worked with Abhayji for a long time, but never thought that I would marry his daughter. Aly (Goni), my brother, confidante, friend and co-actor, brought the two families together.

“Karan Patel is a great human being. I always wanted my son-in-law as Karan Patel and here my dream is being fulfilled. On screen, I play a role of a father-in-law to him; and I don’t believe that this reel character has turn into a real life character too.”
