 Shaleen and Daljit have been one of the it-couples of the industry
for quite a while now, and with good reason. The chemistry they share
which made them the winning pair of Nach Baliye 4 is still going strong,
and now more than ever as they bask in the bliss of married life. We
caught the couple reminiscing about their good ol’ bachelor days and
learnt a few secrets about keeping the magic alive, even when their
hectic schedules don’t allow them a lot of together time.
“It so happens that both of us share the same birthday, and so we
have the same nature; we both love giving surprises to each other” says a
chirpy Daljit. A bit of gentle prodding got the newlywed to share her
romantic secrets with us. “Last year when Shaleen and I were to get
married, we were not allowed to meet each other for a few months before
the wedding. Now since mine and Shaleen’s birthdays fall on the same
date, which is 15th September, and our wedding was on 9th December, we
weren’t going to be able to celebrate together. But since we had agreed
to our parents’ demand of not meeting each other, we kept our word and
my friends planned to take me out for a nice dinner at a Dhaba on the
old Mumbai-Pune highway. I was fine for a while but then I got emotional
and simply couldn’t let our special day go by without seeing him. So,
along with all of my friends, I landed up in Mumbai,” shares Daljit.
The big twist here is that Daljit’s parents had no idea that she had
sneaked away to meet her then husband-to-be! So what happened next? With
a naughty smile, Daljit continues, “By the time we reached Shaleen’s
place it was way past midnight. I called him up to tell him that some
friends of ours are waiting downstairs at his building with gifts, but
the watchman isn’t letting them in. Shaleen came downstairs, furious at
the watchman, but then did a double take as he never expected me and my
friends to be there. I could tell that he was shocked and touched at the
same time.”
Well, we must admit, Shaleen is one lucky guy! But what happened when
their parents found out about their little secret? “Admittedly, my
parents are still not aware of it. But I guess they will know now!”
laughs Daljit. Anyway, we suppose all’s well that ends well. Hmm?
