Actor Sachin Shroff has tied the knot for a second time. The actor, who currently plays the titular character in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, married Chandni Kothi in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai. Pictures from their reception gala have surfaced online, which shows the newlyweds have a great time at the wedding.
Who is Chandni Kothi
Prior to the wedding, Sachin and his family and maintained some secrecy about Chandni’s identity and not revealed anything about her, including the name. Reports had stated that she is a good friend of Sachin’s sister. But at the reception, Sachin introduced Chandni to the media and the fans. Chandni is an event organiser and interior designer.
Why did Sachin’s family maintain secrecy around Chandni?
Speaking with ETimes about the need for secrecy around Chandni’s identity prior to the wedding, Sachin said, “I didn’t keep it a secret. There wasn’t any need as everyone would have known about her ultimately. We referred to her as to-be Mrs for fun. My cousins decided to build inquisitiveness and grandly introduce her at the cocktail party.”
Sachin and Chandni’s love story
Sachin and Chandni have known each other for a long time as she is good friends with his sister. Talking about how they came together, Sachin told ETimes, “My family had been asking me to get married again, and I told them to find a match for me. They suggested I consider settling down with Chandni. I knew her for years, but more as my sister’s friend. We realised we were compatible and could take the plunge. So, here we are!”

However, since then, his portrayal of the character has been received favourably.
