9 Indian Television Couples Who Are Still Going Strong After Ten Years Of Marriage
When working for a television show it is natural to become fond of your co-star whom you see every day and work with for more that 11 to 12 hours. But taking a relationship to the next level and sticking through thick and thin requires serious commitment. In a time when celebrity couple separation is a regular affair, we still have a few couples that reaffirm your faith in love and marriage.
Here are television’s 9 couples who fell in love while shooting and have been happily married for over a decade.
1. Poonam Narula and Manish Goel (married for 14 years)
Poonam and Manish met on the sets of Kasauti Zindagi Ki and went from being reel life couple to real life husband and wife. They got married in October 2002 and are proud parents of a daughter and a son.
2. Gouri and Yash Tonk (married for 14 years)
Gouri and Yash starred together in Ekta Kapoor’s suspense show Kaahin Kissii Roz. In the show, Gouri played Yash’s sister-in-law. Yash proposed to Gouri merely a month after they started interacting with each other on the sets. The couple has been married since October 2002 and is expecting their second baby this coming November. [Cute Fact: What’s interesting about the two couples on Kaahin Kissii Roz is that the lead actor Yash Tonk, married Gouri who was his brother’s wife on the show while the female lead opposite Yash i.e Mouli Ganguly married Mazer Sayed who was Gouri’s husband on the show. This real life cross connection of reel life couples is so cute!]
