Earlier,  Ssharad told, "No one expected that I would marry so soon. They thought I would give it a year but then when you meet a person and strike that connect, you know it is right. I always believed that marriage will happen when it has to happen. I feel it's right to marry now. But my friends are teasing me about being a runaway groom"

The actor further revealed what attracted him to Ripci. He said "I think I was fascinated by her love for travel. I love to travel but don't get the time. Ripci has immense wanderlust. She has a lovely sense of humour. Moreover, she is an independent working woman. I love women who are financially independent and empowered.
