What's the story

As the couple is soon set to embark on a joyous ride of parenthood, we take a look back at how their relationship turned into marriage.

During the show's shoot, not only did their on-screen chemistry work but offline also they hit it off pretty well. They fell in love, becoming an inseparable couple over time.
Engagement

A little while after they began dating, the couple decided to get engaged in 2019. It wasn't a lavish affair, rather, the couple opted for an intimate setting. They exchanged rings in the presence of their family and close friends.
Their engagement was such a private affair that Massey himself broke the news to the media while sharing a few glimpses from the ceremony.
Live-in relationship
Staying in a live-in relationship
According to reports, the couple was more than willing to get married sooner after their engagement. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic played a spoiled sport, and their marriage was pushed to later.

Marriage
Hitched in February 2022
After being in a relationship for many years, Massey and Thakur finally got hitched in February 2022. A week before their traditional wedding, the couple reportedly had a registered marriage.
