Smriti Irani, who played Tulsi Virani on the show, poured her heart out to celebrate their union via an Instagram post. “Some love stories take the most interesting turns.

So happy to see them now bound by love and celebrating it through rituals. #theygotmarried.”
Ashlesha Savant commented on Smriti’s post with a lot of emotion, “M crying… We love you more than you will ever know. You were a part of our love story. I can and will never forget our bond. Thank you for your blessing. This is such a beautiful blessing. We are speechless.”Ashlesha and Sandeep’s love story began on the sets of the popular daily soap, where Sandeep played Sahil Virani and Ashlesha portrayed Teesha Mehta Virani.

Despite being together for over two decades, the couple would often be asked when they would decide to marry. “In my mind, Ashlesha and I were always married,” revealed Sandeep in a candid chat with Bombay Times. They attribute their decision to formalize their bond to the visit to Vrindavan in April this year, when they felt a deep connect to the Radha Krishna temples.
