MUMBAI: Popular TV-actor and comedian Balraj Syal, who was recently seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi 10, tied the knot with singer Deepti Tuli in a hush-hush wedding on August 7 Jalandhar. Talking about how he met his wife, Balraj told a leading daily “We met in July last year, during a shoot in Chandigarh. I was hosting a show, while she was performing in it with her band. I developed an instant liking for her, but I guess, she didn’t like me much or else she would have responded to my text messages (laughs!). Later, I went to shoot for Fear Factor: 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' and kept texting her, but didn’t get a desired response. It was during my trip to Turkey and Greece that we started having long conversations. I met her a couple of times after I returned, and proposed marriage to her on my birthday (January 26), during a getaway in Goa. She was taken by surprise and didn’t respond immediately. Then, 'Mujhse Shaadi Karoge' came my way. After coming out, I spoke to her again about marriage and she agreed. The families met just a few days before the lockdown in March and our horoscopes, too, matched. The interesting part is, she lives 15 minutes away from my home in Jalandhar. Woh faasla cover karne mein itna time lag gaya.”
Revealing the qualities of Deepti, which he loves, Balraj said, “It was an easy decision for me. She understands my silence, and the way she took care of me when I fell ill on my birthday sealed the deal for me.” The actor also revealed that he could have tied the knot after the lockdown. “During the initial months of lockdown, I didn’t want to have a social wedding owing to safety concerns. Then I considered a registered marriage, but agni ke saamne phere lena zaroori tha. Finally, our parents asked us to come home once the flights resumed and our wedding date was fixed. The shaadi happened with all the rituals,” added Balraj Syal.

When asked about his silence on marriage, Balraj replied, “We could only invite 30 people. I have a large circle of friends and it wouldn’t have been possible to invite everyone. I plan to host a huge reception once the situation is back to normal.”
