Can a desi proposal to girlfriend with ghee and milk be romantic? Actor Jaideep Ahlawat did it and won her love
Jaideep Ahlawat , known for his compelling performances on screen, has managed to keep his private life under wraps. For the past sixteen years, he has been married to Jyoti Hooda . Their love story goes back to their early days in Haryana, even before either of them joined the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), where Jyoti was his junior. Despite their public profiles, their relationship has remained largely out of the public gaze. Recently, Jaideep shared a rare anecdote from his personal life while appearing on The Great Indian Kapil Show alongside actors Vijay Varma, Jitendra Kumar, and Pratik Gandhi. A Humorous Take on Romance During the show, host Kapil Sharma asked Jaideep how he proposed to his wife and whether she thought it was sincere or just a performance. Responding with his trademark humor, Jaideep hinted that as someone from a Jaat background, he lacked the poetic skills for a traditional proposal. Vijay Varma playfully chimed in with a humorous suggestion involving a container of ghee. Jaideep joined in the laughter, joking that he promised Jyoti a future full of milk and ghee, and left the decision up to her. 'Do you think a Jaat boy like me would know the art of proposing?' he quipped. Later, he added, "I told her, 'There won't be any shortage of milk and ghee in the house. Now the choice is yours."

He went on to speak about his own relationship, sharing that despite the ups and downs of his professional journey, he has always tried to uphold his responsibilities as a husband. Jaideep mentioned that his wife, Jyoti, has shown extraordinary understanding and calm throughout his evolving career. Because of the strength and loyalty she's displayed over the years, he has made sure never to let her down in their personal life. "No one knows better than a spouse when an actor is disturbed, worried because of prep or any other thing that happened on the set. It takes a lot to live with that. I don't think I have ever let Jyoti down as a husband, I've always tried to give it my all," he told TOI. Who Is Jyoti Hooda? As per a Bollywood Shaadis report, Jyoti is a professional dancer. Climbing the Ladder of Success After years of perseverance and dedication, Jaideep's hard work in the film industry has finally borne fruit. He started with a minor role in the 2010 movie Aakrosh, but it was Amazon Prime's Paatal Lok in 2020 that brought him widespread acclaim. Since then, his filmography has expanded to include popular titles such as Jaane Jaan, Maharaj, and Jewel Thief . His rising popularity and success have also translated into personal milestones. Jaideep recently purchased two high-end flats worth ₹20 crore in a luxury complex in Andheri West, Mumbai, known as Poorna Apartments.

Sharad Kelkar On Being Highest Paid In Tum Se Tum Tak: ‘Don't Be Jealous'
Last Updated: Actor Sharad Kelkar returns in Tum Se Tum Tak with Niharika Chouksey, premiering July 7. Kelkar, 48, addressed being the highest paid, urging people not to be jealous. Sharad Kelkar, who is set to return to television with the upcoming show Tum Se Tum Tak, has addressed reports claiming he is the highest paid actor on the series. The show, co-starring Niharika Chouksey, is slated to premiere on July 7, 2025, and marks Kelkar's return to the small screen in a leading role. In a recent interview with IANS, the 48-year-old actor responded to speculation around his remuneration, stating, 'Yes, I charge for it. What's wrong with that? If someone is earning well, people should be happy—not jealous. It's a sign of achievement. If an actor returns to television, it's because they have value. No one's calling you back just for nostalgia—you have to bring something to the table." Kelkar, who has been part of the entertainment industry for over two decades, said that his return to television was driven not just by sentiment but by substance. He also opened up about what drew him to Tum Se Tum Tak, calling its story 'extremely compelling." He revealed that the show was initially offered to him in January, but he had to turn it down due to prior shooting commitments for another series. The producers approached him again in March, and this time, upon hearing the plot, he was intrigued. What caught his attention, he shared, was the show's distinctive format, which explores the theme of 'two different worlds colliding," as seen in the promotional material. The serial centres on an unconventional romantic storyline between Anu (played by Niharika), a warm-hearted 19-year-old girl, and Aryavardhan (portrayed by Kelkar), a 46-year-old business magnate. The narrative follows the emotional challenges the duo faces while navigating societal norms. Sharad Kelkar began his television career in 2004 with Aakrosh, a drama series that aired on Doordarshan, where he portrayed the role of Inspector Sachin Kulkarni. He is married to television actress Keerti Gaekwad Kelkar, known for her portrayal of Chandni/Devika in a negative role on Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar. The couple also participated together in the second season of the dance reality show Nach Baliye in 2006. First Published:
