Vivek Dahiya Shares Why He Didn’t Want To Marry Divyanka Tripathi: ‘Nothing She Would Want From Me’
Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya and Vivek Dahiya have been blissfully married for almost eight years. Vivek Dahiya got married in an arranged marriage. He reportedly revealed that he initially did not want to marry the ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’ actress.
‘Couldn’t afford Divyanka’
The actor discussed the matter with the popular news portal. He disclosed that he initially did not talk to Divyanka since he couldn’t afford such a big actress. At the time, he was unaware that Divyanka was a straightforward girl who enjoyed the small things in life. He mentioned that he met Divyanka through their mutual friend Pankaj Bhatia.
Vivek said, ”I met Divyanka through Pankaj Bhatia, a mutual friend of ours. He would often pull my legs and randomly abuse me to see if I got angry or reverted to him, so when he thought that the guy was balanced and mature, he thought that the guy was good for Divyanka. He called up my mother-in-law and told her about me. Then he started pitching both me and Divyanka. All I was concerned about was: how could I afford such a big actress? Maine socha, unka ek certain lifestyle hoga, certain tarike se wo jeeti hogi, itna bada ghar hoga, aisi gaadiyan hogi, so I thought, How could I afford this?”
‘She is a simple girl’
The actor later revealed how his friend Pankaj reacted to this. Pankaj cleared the air and affirmed to Vivek that Divyanka doesn’t care about these things.
He continued, ”When I discussed this with Pankaj, he told me one thing, and that is that I will thank him all my life. He said Divyanka does not care about any of these things. He sold both of us to each other individually. He told me that Divyanka is not arrogant about the fact that she is such a big star. She is just a simple girl who is only looking for simple things. She is only looking for that true feeling of love. If you can love her, then there is nothing that she would want from you.”
After that, the rest is history because the actor met Divyanka at Pankaj’s insistence.
