In 1967, Saroja Devi tied the knot with Sri Harsha, an engineer at Bharat Electronics. Well, their relationship was a testament to true love, support and companionship. Sri Harsha was not just her partner, but a pillar of support helping her navigate through financial troubles and encouraging to continue her acting career. After marriage, Saroja Devi's career rose to fame, and she became widely famous in Kannada cinema. It was her husband who pushed her to continue acting post-marriage. Interestingly, many might not know this but Dilip Kumar played a massive role in shaping Sri Harsha's decision. Earlier, in one of the interviews, When Saroja Devi was asked about her persistent commitment to acting, she told that Dilip Kumar once advised Saira Banu to not quit working in films after marriage. Rajesh Khanna then shared this anecdote with her husband, who then encouraged her to not abandon the acting profession.
