Talking about his equation with Ripci, Ssharad says it was the fear of marriage for both of them that connected the two. He says, “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.”

 Ssharad was in a long term relationship with TV actress Divyanka Tripathi they called it quits in 2016 after dating for 7 years.

Interestingly, Ssharad, who has been in long-term relationships in past, did not date Ripci. He says, “For a change, I didn’t date Ripci. Everything happened in an old-fashioned way for us, as we said a ‘yes’ without meeting each other much. In fact, she asked me recently why we didn’t date before deciding to tie the knot. It just didn’t happen.”

Ssharad who has previously dated top TV actress Divyanka Tripathi and model Pooja Bisht has often been accused of running away from his relationships just when they reach the point of marriage. Talking about his previous relationships, Ssharad says, “No relationship can end on a good note. During the courtship period, your partner seems to be the best person on the planet, but when it ends, he becomes the worst. I have never spoken ill about any woman I have dated. For me, they were awesome till they lasted and even after that. I have learnt a great deal from my relationships and I have also matured with time.”

Now that Ssharad is finally getting hitched to his lady love, our heartiest congratulations to the actor, stay tuned for updates!
