Vatsal Sheth reveals plans of an extended honeymoon with wife Ishita Dutta next year
After his hush-hush vows with actor Ishita Dutta on November 28, Vatsal Sheth is happy being back to work. Describing his life after marriage as an ‘amazing’ one, the actor says that it was never love at first sight for them.
“Nobody is going to believe us but we did not fall in love on the sets of our show [Rishton Ka Saudagar – Baazigar]. The reports that while shooting for it we would spend a lot of time inside the van and all are not true. Our feelings developed when we started meeting after the show ended and became really good friends,” he says.
There were stories that while working on the show Rishton Ka Saudagar – Baazigar, where the makers made the actors sign a ‘nodating clause’, love bloomed between the two actors, but they tried to hide it from everyone.
Coming back to their marriage, Vatsal adds that being a private person, he wanted his big day to be a simple affair. “Marriage is sacred and I did not want to make an event out of it. Also, it was a sudden affair, only few of my friends and relatives knew about it. I prefer keeping my personal and professional life separate and made sure that my work is not hampered. So I took three days off from my show, even my co-stars and makers of the show did not have any clue,” he tells us.
After the wedding, Vatsal and Ishita went for a short honeymoon to Singapore. So, is there a grand celebration on the cards or an extended honeymoon on mind? “No grand celebrations but I’m treating my friends and relatives separately whenever I’m getting time. We might go for an extended honeymoon next year after shooting for Haasil wraps up. It’s expected to get over by FebruaryMarch,” adds Vatsal.
Asked if it was because of his sudden marriage plan that among others, Ishita’s elder sibling, former Bollywood actor Tanushree Dutta also couldn’t attend the ceremony at the ISKON temple in Juhu, Mumbai, he says, “Tanushree was supposed to come from America, but could not make it due to last-minute visa issue.”
