Shagun Sharma reveals real-life romance with co-star Aman Gandhi.
Shagun Sharma, Pari in the show, lovingly confirmed she’s dating her co-star Aman Gandhi off-screen in real life.
TV audiences know Shagun Sharma as the stylish and sharp-tongued Pari Virani from Kyunki Saas Bhi Bahu Thi 2. On-screen she plays a vamp—cold, plotting, often stirring chaos in the Virani family. But off-screen, things couldn’t be more different. Shagun is currently experiencing a wonderfully sweet chapter in her personal life, and she has now openly confirmed it.
In a recent interview with Hauterfly, Shagun revealed that she is in a committed relationship with her co-star Aman Gandhi, the actor who plays Ritik Virani—her younger brother on the show. The revelation surprised many fans, partly because viewers see them as family on screen, but the truth is, the affection between the two started much earlier.
“These aren’t rumours—it’s true,” Shagun said with a smile, finally addressing all the whispering and speculation around them. We were already together before we signed it.”
Aman had previously dropped hints about their relationship in his podcast Set Pe Charcha, sharing that he and Shagun had already been dating for over a year. But until now, neither of them had fully confirmed it in public.
Shagun explained that when she was approached to play Pari in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, Aman had already been finalized as Ritik. She recalls the moment clearly—exciting, emotional, and slightly complicated. Before signing the project, she sat down with Aman to talk through the situation. They needed to figure out whether they would be comfortable playing siblings on-screen while being romantic partners in real life. After some conversations, laughter, and reassurances, both agreed they could handle it professionally.
The couple chose to keep their relationship private on set initially. The cast and crew were unaware for the first two months that these two “siblings” shared something much deeper. Eventually, Aman and Shagun felt ready and happy to share the news with their co-stars, who reacted with surprise and warm support.
Shagun later appeared as a guest on Aman’s podcast, where she opened up about his crucial role in motivating her to take on this character. “A very big reason that I am here is this human being,” she said, gesturing toward Aman with pride. But Aman—and even my sister—were confident I should take this role. They believed in me.”
Aman added that sometimes people joke or question him, wondering why he dates “the vamp” of the show. It’s something Shagun has also faced—social media criticism from viewers unable to separate the character from the real person. She shared that negative comments do bother her at times, but having Aman by her side makes her feel stronger. He, on the other hand, is proud of how convincingly she plays the grey-shaded Pari.
Their dating rumours truly sparked earlier this year when the couple shared sweet, romantic photos during Valentine’s week. Fans instantly filled the comments section with love, curiosity, and celebration—though some still wondered whether it was all just for the cameras. Now, the truth is out, and Shagun and Aman seem relieved and happy to acknowledge each other openly.
From playing siblings on the biggest family drama of Indian television to creating their own real-life love story—this is definitely a twist more heartwarming than anything scripted. As the show continues to entertain millions every night, Shagun and Aman are building something special beyond the spotlight—a partnership rooted in trust, understanding, and a shared passion for their craft.
