Vivek Dahiya revealed on Pati Patni Aur Panga that his mother initially had reservations about him marrying an actress. His parents wondered whether Divyanka Tripathi was as sweet and caring off screen as she appeared on television. Spending time with her changed that, and he says the bond she shares with his parents today makes him truly happy.

"Looking back, they simply discovered what I had already known about her," he said. The couple, who welcomed twin boys in May, are taking part in the reality show's new season.
