In an interview with the Bombay Times, the actor had shared talked about the same and had said, "I have never hidden my relationships.

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."
