Gaurav Chopra has
officially joined the list of celebrities who tied the knot secretly. The
actor married Hitisha Cheranda, a management graduate, on February 18 in New
Delhi.
Gaurav opened up about the
hush-hush affair to a leading daily and confessed that over time, he realised
that being open about relationships can sometimes backfire.
“I have never hidden my
relationships. I have gone to the world holding my beloved’s hand, but with
time, I realised that it backfires. I am a private person now. The marriage was
purely dedicated to my family. It was as traditional as it could get with me on
a chariot in my baraat. I followed all the rituals as I was told. Main ek achhe
bete ki tarah sab karta raha. Given a choice, I would have preferred a
destination wedding, but it was always supposed to be a close-knit affair. It’s
more of an arranged match and I fell for Hitisha’s simplicity,” he said.
Tongues about Gaurav’s
love life had begun wagging ever since he mentioned a certain ‘High Court’ on
Bigg Boss Season 10. “I didn’t try to hide it, as that means manipulating the
truth. I was just keeping it private. The person I love should get her due
respect and prominence of being the centre of my life. Every relationship
deserves respect unless it’s a scandalous affair. I chose to become private
about my relationship with Hitisha because of my past relationships. People
still can’t stop talking about them. It’s not fair to both them and me, as we
have all moved on in life. I may have been in a relationship for two years, but
the break-up story continues to be written about for five years. Hitisha isn’t
from the industry and it won’t be nice if she is compared to anyone,
questioned, judged or speculated upon. She is a strong, beautiful and
intelligent young lady, who should be judged for what she is and nothing
else.”
Gaurav was in a relationship with Mouni Roy and Narayani Shastri in the
past. The latter spoke exclusively to SpotboyE.com about the actor’s
marriage and their relationship.
