Recalling the time when the love of his love came to stay with him, Sandeep gushed:
“We were good friends and then one day she came home and never left. Even now, there are no promises. Nothing said. We just love being with each other.”
When this cutesy couple was asked about their marriage plans, here’s what Sandeep said:
“I come from a very stable, loving family and I’ve seen my parents very happy after being married for forty years. But at the same time, I have seen bad marriages and fake relationships where there is no point in two people staying together.”
He further added:
“So, right from the beginning, we decided to be together till we make each other happy. Otherwise, we will not grow as individuals. A relationship should make your life easier. I have not told her, nor has she told me that ‘I will love you forever’, or ‘I am going to be there for you until the end of time’, but we will be together till there is love between us.”

Both of them are on the same page and share same views. On the topic of marriage, she was quoted as saying:
"I used to joke that I will have a live-in relationship, since the concept had become quite popular at the time. I thought it was quite cool, and then it actually happened to me,"
She went on to say:
“I don’t need a signed piece of paper from a registered office. Security comes from within and not with diamonds, car or a marriage certificate. It comes from a connection with your soulmate. I was obsessed with him and used to get insecure, when I met him as a teenager. It’s no longer the case now.”
And when Sandeep was asked about if he has any insecurities, he has the best answer to it. Here’s what he stated:
"She is innocent. So, whenever she is away, I hope she is in good hands, nobody troubles her, and she understands when somebody is trying to hurt her…I am not insecure at all. If one fine day she finds somebody else and tells me about it, I will be happy for her.”
Not just on the matter of tying the nuptial knot, even on having babies, both of them have same views. Ashlesha was found saying:
“Sometimes, I want a baby who looks like him. But when then the realisation of responsibility creeps in, I take a step back and wonder if we are ready for it?”

Sandeep agrees with Ashlesha and told the portal:
“I have kids in the family, but I don’t have the desire to have any of my own. Still, if she feels that she is incomplete without a baby and wants one, I will not deprive her of that pleasure. And that’s the time we will have to think of marriage.”
On the work front, apart from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, the lovely duo has shared the small screen in Zee TV’s Kammal. Both Ashlesha and Sandeep keep doing daily soaps every now and then. While Sandeep was last seen in serials such as Parvarrish - Season 2, Udaan, Hitler Didi, etc., Ashlesha did Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara, Pavitra Rishta, Vishkanya...Ek Anokhi Prem Kahani, etc. She is currently a part of Porus.
