That is exactly what happened in the case of Shakti and Neha too, but hold on, there is a twist in this tale. Wondering what? Read the entire love story and you will come to know!

This cute couple first met in 2010 on the sets of a Star Plus production, Tere Liye where they played on-screen couple. They were initially apprehensive about each other as Shakti was new and reserved, while Neha had been a leading star already in another hit show. After those initial hesitations, they became fast friends, yet love wasn't blooming. In Neha's words,

We had an amazing chemistry on the show. We also became good friends. People would ask us if we were together. But nothing was brewing between us then.

This is how love started brewing

Neha was not Shakti's first love. He was going through a rough patch after a break-up and Neha, as a friend, was by his side. Gradually, they realised that they do not need to seek love anywhere else and that they are each other's soulmate. However, it still took Shakti a long time to profess his love to Neha, as he said:

We realised we liked each other. Yet, it took me around a year to actually convey my feelings to her. We shared a platonic relationship till then.

But, once he proposed to her, they did not take much time to meet each other's parents and the relationship was made official straightaway.

Both the lovebirds are crazy about each other. Neha won his heart by her cooking skills, while Shakti's honesty and the ability to make her feel comfortable was enough for this bubbly girl. Shakti is completely mesmerised by his lady and he does not shy away from confessing it. Here is what Shakti said about Neha:

I am in love with Neha. I love spending time with her. Her sense of humour is what I like the most about her and, of course, her cuteness!

Secret roka ceremony

They delighted their fans by having a roka ceremony in the Goregaon Sports Complex, Mumbai, on June 6, 2014. According to the sources, the ceremony was a private affair because the makers of the show, Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi, did not want the focus to shift to Shakti's private life.

Were supposed to get married on November 15, 2016

After being rokafied for more than two years, Shakti and Neha finally thought of taking their relationship a step ahead. The couple was supposed to tie the knot on November 15, 2016. But who knew something else was waiting for them. Well, the last two months of the year were little-stressed ones for the entire nation. It was the time of demonetisation and no old currency was working and so they had to postpone their wedding.

Meri Ashiqui Tum Se Hi actor was then quoted as saying:

"It will take me a long time to exchange the old notes with the new ones. I have no idea when we will get married now. It's definitely not happening this year."

Since almost all the wedding preps were done, he said:

“I had pulled back money to pay to the wedding coordinators, food providers and other staff as I needed to give them a progress. Be that as it may, they are declining to take the old money now.”

Sudden break up news

Soon after a few months when their wedding was postponed, rumours started doing the rounds that Shakti and Neha have broken up. Buzz was that busy schedules were cropping up between them and things are not so rosy between the two. Actually, at that time, Shakti was shooting in Jakarta for a project and buzz was that Neha flew all the way to there to sort things out. Bombay Times quoted a source as saying:

“Over the past few months, a lot of differences cropped up between them, which led to constant tiffs. Neha is now back in India and they have decided to take a break from each other, they need time to think about where their relationship is headed. Distance is also taking a toll on their equation.”

So much so that Shakti and Neha even deleted their cosy and lovey-dovey pictures from their respective Instagram handles. But despite all of this, Neha said that everything was completely fine between them and retorted:

“Who is spreading these rumours? Shakti and I are together. In fact, I returned from Jakarta only because my Visa expired.”

And the rumours started taking a toll on Shakti and Neha. Banishing all the news related to their break-up, Shakti took to his Instagram account and shared a couple picture with the caption that could be read as:

“A Real relationship will last long beyond the rumours..Putting All Rumours to Rest. Relationshipgoals.”
