Mumbai, August 8 (IANS) Actress Surbhi Chandna opened up about her 15-year-long relationship with husband Karan Sharma, revealing how he stood by her through every phase of her acting journey, even sacrificing family moments to support her dreams.
Speaking exclusively to IANS, Surbhi reflected on the couple’s journey, which began when they were just 21 years old.
“We met each other when we were 21. We are 36 now. We have seen everything together. It was basically our childhood. What is 21 years of age? We have grown up together,” she said.
The actress shared that the two witnessed each other’s personal and professional milestones over the years.
“He saw me doing my MBA. I saw him doing his MBA in London. Then I became an actor, and he has seen my entire acting journey,” she said.
Recalling the early days of her career, Surbhi revealed how Karan would accompany her to auditions and patiently wait while she chased her dreams.
“He used to take me for auditions. I would stand in the queue, and he would wait for me in the car. He has missed so many birthdays in his family because he would tell them, ‘Yes, I’m on my way,’ but he wouldn’t reach because my audition was more important,” she shared.
Crediting her loved ones for her success, Surbhi added, “The credit for my success definitely goes to him. Of course, my mother also used to take me for auditions, but Karan has been there through every step of the journey.”
Talking about how they celebrate milestones, the actress said the couple prefers intimate moments over extravagant parties.
“Even today, whenever we achieve something, we celebrate it. It’s always a small celebration, never a big one. Yes, we love travelling, but more than that, we love eating. So, we plan a date night. Sometimes we celebrate in Moscow, sometimes in the Maldives, and sometimes in Malaysia,” she said with a laugh.
She added, “We’ve worked hard, we’ve earned some money, so we can do this. We deserve it.”
For the uninitiated, Surbhi Chandna and entrepreneur Karan Sharma tied the knot on March 2, 2024, in a grand yet intimate ceremony in Jaipur after being in a relationship for over 13 years. Their wedding was attended by close friends and family from the television industry.
