There is no beautiful feeling than to fall in love. While we all hate the after-effects of falling in love, we cannot stay away from it.

And Bigg Boss 12 fame, Srishty Rode's ex-boyfriend and television actor, Manish Naggdev, who has gone through a rough patch, has finally found his muse and he is all set to kickstart a new life with her.

Manish has finally found love in actress-turned-air hostess, Malika Juneja, and the duo had gotten rokafied on July 25, 2020, in an intimate ceremony in Pune. In an interview with The Times of India, Manish revealed how he met his ladylove and said, "I first met Malika in August last year, through some common friends. Gradually, my mother grew fond of her and one day, she told me that Malika would make a great life partner. With time, I, too, realised that she was extremely loving and caring. So, I told my mother to speak with her family. Fortunately, they were fond of me (laughs!). So, here we are. I would call it a love-cum-arranged marriage. We started dating in January. Engagement aur shaadi pandemic ke baad hoga."
He further added, "What I admire about Malika is that she is driven about her work, but is homely at the same time. She knows how to balance her personal and professional lives. Also, she quit acting years ago after a brief stint. I have nothing against anyone, but owing to my past experiences, I was very clear about not marrying anyone from the industry."

Manish also opened up on his heartbreak and whether he believes in love or not. He shared, "Look, I have realised that no one loves anybody unconditionally. Today, love, for me, means respecting and valuing the person in your life. Obviously, I was bitter in the beginning, as I hadn’t got closure. I would get anxiety and panic attacks, and had trouble sleeping. Unable to take it anymore, I finally bared my heart and soul on social media. That helped get a huge weight lifted off my chest" (Don't Miss: Mahesh Bhatt Pens A Cryptic Note Ahead Of 'Sadak 2' Release, Says He Has No Reputation To Hold On To)
