They exchanged rings, which were a solitaire for Shilpa, and a diamond-embedded platinum band for Apurva. The wedding date was set to be June 24, 2004, and it took place in Dehradun as Shilpa's grandmothers could not come to Mumbai.

The couple has been married for more than 10 years now, so it is apparent that they have a fair share of cherished memories along with the likes and dislikes of each other. If you ask them what they like about each other, and what are the things that they would like to change in the other, the much-in-love couple had to say these things:
Shilpa is a great human being and loves to spread love around her. But not everyone is as pure a person as she is, so I feel that she needs to analyse people to an extent before going all out to be good to them.- Apurva
Apurva is a really nice guy who has nothing negative to say about anyone. He is the world’s best husband and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have him. What I’d like to change about him though, is his temper. He can be hot-headed at times.- Shilpa
Apurva gushed:
It was during our honeymoon in Canada. We’re both very adventurous, so we tried our hand at bungee jumping, and sky diving etc. When it was my turn for bungee, right before I took the leap, Shilpa was dead scared. She turned to me and said, ‘No matter what, I will always love you’. That was a very special moment for me and I’ll never forget it.
And, the proud wife said:
The most memorable day of my life is June 24, 2004, it is the day I got married to Apurva. I was the happiest bride.
The couple, after doing Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahi, as Armaan and Vidhi, participated in a dance-based reality show, Nach Baliye season 1. The couple had tremendous chemistry, and moved the audience to secure sixth position. Although, Shilpa lost a tooth while rehearsing for an act, the couple's performances were overall appreciated.

God willing, as soon as possible. I am sure Shilpa and I will have a baby by next year, and I will send you the pictures too. We need the child to complete our special circle of joy! And we are ready to become parents! God will not keep us away from the blessing for long."

Finally, these two participated in Bigg Boss season 7. Although it was a topsy-turvy ride for most of the participants, Apurva and Shilpa stood strong. In the Bigg Boss house, most of the couples end up having arguments, but these two had each other's back. When Apurva had to shave off his hair, Shilpa could not take it. And, after Shilpa's elimination, Apurva presented his desire to leave. His emotions could be felt through his words:
I became extremely homesick after Shilpa left the house. I’m a henpecked husband. I rely on my wife for everything. She decides what I should wear, what I should eat... sab kuch! I started missing her positive energy around me.
