Hiten gets second-time lucky
Hiten had been married before Gauri entered his life. This was an arranged marriage that ended in divorce. It took Hiten some time to convince Gauri to marry him. Moreover, the actor wanted to learn from his past mistakes and ensure that his relationship with Gauri lasts.

An engagement on set
Once Hiten was sure that Gauri was the one for him, he wasted no time to seal the deal. Considering that they were both spending a lot of time on set, he decided that it would be best to pop the question in a setting they were both comfortable in. He proposed to Gauri on the set and slipped a ring on her finger without any engagement ceremony or any other grand gesture.

Intimate wedding in Pune
The couple tied the knot in 2004 in Gauri’s hometown Pune. The event was a private affair with their friends and family present. They later went to Bangkok for their honeymoon.
