Balraj further added, "Later, I went to shoot for Fear Factor: 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' and kept texting her, but didn't get a desired response. It was during my trip to Turkey and Greece that we started having long conversations. I met her a couple of times after I returned, and proposed marriage to her on my birthday (January 26), during a getaway in Goa. She was taken by surprise and didn't respond immediately. Then, 'Mujhse Shaadi Karoge' came my way. After coming out, I spoke to her again about marriage and she agreed. The families met just a few days before the lockdown in March and our horoscopes, too, matched. The interesting part is, she lives 15 minutes away from my home in Jalandhar. Woh faasla cover karne mein itna time lag gaya."
Balraj also revealed the quality that attracted him towards Deepti, "It was an easy decision for me. She understands my silence, and the way she took care of me when I fell ill on my birthday sealed the deal for me." Talking about his lockdown wedding, the actor stated, "During the initial months of lockdown, I didn't want to have a social wedding owing to safety concerns. Then I considered a registered marriage, but agni ke saamne phere lena zaroori tha. Finally, our parents asked us to come home once the flights resumed and our wedding date was fixed. The shaadi happened with all the rituals."
