Sharman is married to Prerna Chopra, daughter of famous Bollywood villain Prem Chopra. Sharman and Prerna’s love story is no less than a Bollywood film and will definitely melt your heart. Sharman and Prerna first met each other when they were in college. They felt an emotion and fell in love. They became friends instantly and their relationship grew over time. What attracted Sharman to Prerna was her humility. Despite being the daughter of one of Bollywood’s biggest villains, Prerna never let fame overwhelm her.

Sharman Joshi married his college girlfriend Prerna Chopra in 2000. But before the wedding, Sharman was scared of how Prem Chopra would react to it. Sharman was a seasoned actor and was well-established in theatre, while his relationship with Prerna moved towards marriage. During the podcast ‘Timeout with Ankit’, Sharman said that he noticed Prerna on his first day of college and said, ‘When I saw her for the first time, I asked my friend who is this girl sitting on the last bench?’

Sharman shared that when his friend told him about Prerna being Prem Chopra’s daughter, he immediately turned around and went to the canteen. Surprisingly, it was not Prem Chopra who created any trouble for Sharman and Prerna but someone else. He said, “I was very worried about how her father would react but the mother was more strict than the father. He is very sweet.” Sharman further said, “Her concern was right. If I were in her place, I would also be worried about my daughter. When you want to become an actor, the chances are less, especially in those days. Television was not as big as it is today and there was no OTT either. So, the chances of being successful in it were very low.”
