Revealing About His 1st Marriage

Hiten Tejwani

Hiten had been married earlier and told Gauri everything before they tied the knot on April 29, 2004. Before tying the knot with Gauri Pradhan, he was married for a brief period of 11 months. Though he never revealed the name of his 1st wife, but he shared that it was an arranged marriage which never resulted in love happening after marriage. He took the blame upon himself for his first failed marriage and divorce that took place in 2001. He said that he was the one who wasn't giving enough time to his marriage because of his work commitments. Due to lack of communication and love, his first marriage resulted in divorce. Talking about his failed marriage and divorce, he once said:

"Yes, I was married once, before Gauri entered my life. I didn't want to talk about it. Divorce isn't the best thing that can happen to anyone."

He thinks that his decision to marry Gauri was the best decision of his life. Talking further about his marriage with Gauri, Hiten once said:

"After a bitter experience, I've realised that it's better to get married to a person you love. My marriage with Gauri (Pradhan) is the best thing that could ever happen to me. We know each other inside out. Also, since we're in the same profession, it helps us understand each other better."
