The Yahaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli actress, Surbhi Tiwari revealed to The Times Of India that her pre-wedding functions will begin with haldi, mehendi and Mata ki Chowki on February 8, 2019, and the sangeet and cocktail will take place the following day. Surbhi and Praveen will tie the knot on February 10, 2019, and then a wedding reception will be held in Delhi on March 5, 2019. Surbhi said, “At the sangeet, along with other songs, I will be performing to the title track of Shagun, as it has always been my dream to do so. My actor friends will perform, too.”
Sharing how she met the love of her life, Praveen, Surbhi had stated, “Our common friends arranged our meeting in October, 2018. Praveen is from Patna, but he has been working in Delhi for the past 18 years. He will shift base to Mumbai after marriage. Despite belonging to an affluent family, he is simple like me. Another thing we have in common is, we both don’t like partying. However, unlike me, he is calm like still water, and he has brought calmness to my life.”
Surbhi went on to add, “He is the anchor I was looking for so long. He has been extremely supportive of my career and loves me the way I am. At a time when most people expect their suitors to be in shape, he didn’t mind me being overweight. I have had health issues because of which I put on weight, but he doesn't mind it.”
Surbhi revealed that she had rejected Praveen after a few meetings because she found him too simple. The Ek Rishta Saajhedari Ka actress was quoted as saying, “He is too shy. In fact, I had to make that first call and he immediately decided to marry me. However, I insisted on meeting him. When we met, I found him too simple and lied to him that our horoscopes don’t match. However, he outsmarted me by matching them before our meeting and told me that there had to be another reason for me to reject the proposal (laughs!). After a few more meetings, I realised that he is a thorough gentleman with a pure heart.” (Also Read: Mira Rajput Kapoor Gets 2-Year-Old Misha Kapoor's Hair Coloured, Says She Isn't Regular But Cool Mom)

Surbhi, who was last seen on Agniphera, took a break from acting to focus on her personal life. Elaborating on the same, Surbhi had remarked, “I had been wanting to marry for the past five years, but I didn’t want to tie the knot with an actor. All they talk about is their shows and ratings. I refused many proposals, as I wanted to talk about other things with my man. So, I took a break from acting to meet guys outside the profession. My mother told me to take up new work only after I got married.”
Signing off with the plans about her Europe honeymoon, Surbhi shared, “While a date has not been fixed, we will be going for our honeymoon in May or June. I have always dreamt of a honeymoon in Switzerland, and Praveen has fulfilled my wish.”
Surbhi had earlier worked in Sab TV show, Hum Aapke Ghar Mein Rehte Hain, and speaking about dabbling into comedy, she had then shared, “When I read the script, I wondered why there were no punchlines? But then I discovered that the language — chaste Hindi — I would use is so funny that people will love it. Instead of saying I will cook khichdi, I will say, ‘Main khichdi ka nirman kar leti hoon’.” When asked if she had trouble memorising the dialogues, she answered, “Not at all. I have acted in historical and mythological shows, so I am used to it.” (Also Read: Anushka Sharma's Lookalike Asked If She Could Have Virat Kohli For A Day, This Is How Fans Reacted)
