When Paresh Rawal proposed to his boss' daughter and waited 12 years to marry her: 'Yeh ladki meri wife banegi'
is famous for his perfect comic timing, he has made people laugh with iconic roles in films like 'Andaz Apna Apna', 'Chachi 420', 'Hera Pheri', 'Awara Paagal Deewana', 'Hungama', 'Garam Masala', 'Ready', 'OMG' and many more. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Born in Mumbai into a Gujarati family, Paresh always dreamt of becoming an actor. His love for acting and theatre not only shaped his career but also helped him meet the love of his life, . A theatre festival that changed his life Swaroop Sampat met Paresh at an Indian National Theatre festival. She had just finished school and was handing out brochures at the event. Her father was the chief producer at the time. Paresh and his college friends were performing a play at the same event. The moment he saw Swaroop, he knew she was the one. In fact, he told his friend Mahendra Joshi then and there that he was going to marry her. Even when Mahendra warned him that Swaroop was their boss' daughter, Paresh didn't back off. In a past interview with Bollywood Bubble he said, 'I was kind of 'Yeh ladki meri wife banegi'. My friend Mahendra Joshi was with me. He told me, 'Tujhe pata hai tu jis company mein kaam kar raha hai us boss ki beti hai woh'. Toh maine bola, 'Kisi ki bhi beti ho, behen ho, ma ho, main iske saath shaadi karunga'.' A bold proposal and a clear mind Paresh and Swaroop shared a love for theatre and acting, which brought them closer. While Swaroop was impressed by Paresh's talent on stage, Paresh couldn't take his eyes off her beauty. After a few months of dating, Paresh proposed to her in a very honest and straightforward way. Recalling his proposal, Paresh shared, 'After 2-3 months, I told her, 'I want to marry you but don't tell me 'let's get to know each other, let's grow together'. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Marte dum tak koi kisiko nahi jaan sakta. Toh mere saath woh futile exercise mat karo. Commit yourself. But we got married after 12 years.' 12 years of waiting and love Even though Paresh proposed in 1975, the couple didn't get married until 1987 — a whole 12 years later. The reason? Paresh wanted to focus on building his career before taking on the responsibility of marriage. Swaroop, too, was clear about her own values. She didn't want to elope as she was the only daughter in her family, born after many years. She wanted her parents to be part of her big day. In an interview with The Free Press Journal, Swaroop shared that Paresh was always sure about marrying her. Since they were both Gujaratis, their families had no objections. Once Paresh's career was settled, the couple tied the knot in a simple and intimate ceremony, marking the start of their lifelong journey. A happy ending with no family drama Since both Paresh and Swaroop were Gujarati, their families had no issues with the relationship. Once Paresh's career was stable, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 1987. They went on to have two sons — and Aniruddh Rawal — and have lived a peaceful and loving life ever since. Their story shows that true love can wait, and sometimes, even a dramatic declaration like 'Yeh ladki meri wife banegi' can come true with time, trust, and patience. Paresh Rawal QUITS Hera Pheri 3

Paresh Rawal Wears ‘Don't Quit' T-Shirt After Hera Pheri 3 Exit; A Jibe At Akshay Kumar?
Last Updated: Paresh's sudden departure reportedly shocked Akshay, who had bought the rights to the beloved franchise only after Rawal's verbal nod. The Hera Pheri 3 controversy just got more dramatic. Days after veteran actor Paresh Rawal officially exited the much-anticipated comedy sequel, a photo of him wearing a 'Don't Quit" t-shirt has gone viral. The image, originally shared by actress Geeta Basra, has fans wondering if it's a subtle jab at the ongoing fallout with Akshay Kumar. Paresh's sudden departure reportedly shocked Akshay, who had bought the rights to the beloved franchise only after Rawal's verbal nod. The move allegedly caused financial setbacks for the production, prompting Akshay to initiate legal action against his longtime co-star. In response, Paresh clarified that he had genuine reasons for stepping away from the project and had returned the signing amount, with interest. 'My lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response, all issues will be laid to rest," Rawal posted on X (formerly Twitter), standing firm on his decision. The actor's 'Don't Quit" tee has become a talking point on social media, with fans and followers speculating whether it's a cryptic message aimed at the makers or a mere coincidence. Given the timing, it's certainly raised eyebrows. Adding to the tension, Hera Pheri franchise star Suniel Shetty also expressed his disappointment over Rawal's exit. In an interview with ANI, he said, 'It cannot happen without Paresh Rawal. It can have a one per cent chance without me and Akshay, but it can't happen at all without Paresh ji. Raju and Shyam, if they're not hammered by Babu, it doesn't work." Rawal's portrayal of Babu Bhaiya is considered iconic, and fans find it hard to imagine the third installment without his signature wit and charm. While hopes are still alive for a possible reconciliation, the chances of seeing the original trio back together seem slim at the moment. With legal notices flying and social media dissecting every move, the fate of Hera Pheri 3 remains uncertain. First Published:
