Payal Rohatgi and Sangram Singh met inside the Bigg Boss house and cupid struck between the two and ever since they remained together. They got engaged but did not marry for the past 12 years due to reasons that they did not wish to disclose. Recently, Payal revealed that she is infertile and had even asked Sangram to marry someone, who could give him a child. However, Sangram announced that he wishes to marry the love of his life very soon.

Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal met each other on the sets of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The couple has been head over heels in love with each other but hasn't tied the knot yet as they do not believe of doing something just for a "societal tag." In an interview to a news portal, Rocky had said that they have been together for several years and have seen all the ups and downs a couple goes through after marriage. So, mentally they are there and they do not have any inhibitions or insecurity.

Abigail Pande and Sanam Johar met at a common friend's house and it wasn't love at first sight for them. With time, their relationship evolved and they fell in love. In February 2020, Abigail announced that she will soon marry Sanam and the duo is quite excited about it. However, the couple still remains to be unmarried but very much in love.

Sreejita De and Michael BP have also been together for many years but it was only in January 2022 that they got engaged. Sreejita, in an interview with BT said that they will marry soon. "We haven't finalised the date, but in all likelihood, it will happen by the end of this year. It will be a close-knit ceremony with just 70-100 people in attendance. I want to choose a time when people can travel freely to India and Germany. I will move to Germany eventually."

Ashlesha Savant and Sandeep Biswana met on the set of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' and since the past 18 years they have been in a live-in relationship. The couple says that they do not feel the need to marry and are quite secure about each other. A few years ago, while talking about their relationship, Sandeep had said that even now if Ashlesha falls in love with someone else and tells him, he would be happy for her.

"I have seen bad marriages and fake relationships where there is no point in two people staying together. So, right from the beginning, we decided to be together till we make each other happy. Otherwise, we will not grow as individuals. A relationship should make your life easier. I have not told her, nor has she told me that `I will love you forever', or 'I am going to be there for you until the end of time', but we will be together till there is love between us," had said the actor.
