While some have found their soulmates, some are still in search of the ‘one’. A look at the TV celebs, who were once engaged but called it quits before getting married.

Mansi Srivasatva tied the knot with photographer Kapil Tejwani on January 22, 22. However, back in 2016, Mansi got engaged to Mohit Abrol. The duo parted ways a few months later after being in a relationship for more than eight years. Theirs was a bitter break up.

They love story began in reality show Bigg Boss 8 but later had an ugly break up. They were head over heels for each other and also went on to participate in Nach Baliye as a couple. It was on this reality show that they got engaged. Upen had then in a series of cryptic tweets shared that Karishma is trying to play the victim card. However, much later Karishma addressed the break up saying, “Sometimes there is no answer to what went wrong. Sometimes two wonderful people or good souls are not meant to be together.” Karishma recently tied the knot with Varun Bangera in an intimate but grand ceremony.

They ended their five-year-long relationship by calling off the engagement in 2020. The two actors, who were living together, started having problems and cited compatibility issues. Maheck had told ETimes TV back then, “I chose to walk off. When you start living together and spending more time with a particular person, you get to know the real person. I don't think that Ashmit was the right person for me.” Maheck is currently seen in Naagin 6.

Charu Asopa is currently married to Rajeev Sen. But much before Rajeev, Charu was engaged to her Mere Angne Mein co-star Neeraj Malviya. They played on-screen siblings in the show and got engaged in 2016. However, they had hit a rough patch in November 2017 and called off their engagement. Neeraj said then that it is better not to have a relationship rather than having a weak one.

Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain fame Shilpa Shinde was once engaged to TV actor Romit Raj. They were engaged to be married in 2009 but it was called-off at the last minute. They decided to part ways mutually over compatibility issues.

Long back KSG and Barkha were engaged. Reportedly, they met on their debut show Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi, got engaged in 2004, but separated in 2006. While KSG is married to Bipasha Basu, there's trouble in Barkha's marriage with Indraneil Sengupta.

This couple’s social media was all about how much they love each other. They didn’t get engaged but had a hush-hush roka ceremony. Shivaleeka had announced roka/engagement with Naamkarann actor Karam Rajpal in 2018. But soon before Shivaleeka was about to make her Bollywood debut, she claimed to be single. The couple refuted all roka/engagement reports calling it a hoax and said they are just friends.

Ratan Rajput got engaged to Abhinav Sharma in 2010 on marriage reality show Ratan Ka Rishta. In this Swayamvar, Ratan chose Abhinav as the winner and got engaged to him. However, they later called it off due to a lot of compatibility issues between them. Ratan had then said, “Like any other couple, we had a lot of issues which could not be sorted out. So, we broke up amicably. The experience has not created any kind of bitterness about marriage in me.”

Bigg Boss 14 fame Rakhi Sawant’s personal life is quite a controversial one. The actress, who inaugurated swayamvars on national TV, picked NRI contestant Elesh Parujanwala as her partner. They didn’t get married but were definitely engaged for the entire nation to watch. Rakhi called off the engagement and admitted that she took up the show for money because she needed to buy a flat for herself. Rakhi then tied the knot with Ritesh in 2019 and the couple made their first public appearance in Bigg Boss 15. However, she recently separated from him as his first marriage is not dissolved yet.
