Dipak complements her perfectly, being the yin to her yang. Arti calls him her calming influence. She shares, “There are usually inhibitions when meeting someone in an arranged marriage setup. However, I didn’t feel any when I met Dipak. Along the way, we have developed a strong friendship. He brings a calming influence into my life and serves as a grounding force. I feel blessed to have him in my life. What I appreciate most about our relationship is that I can truly be myself with him and even with his family, including his father and two sisters. I am glad I didn’t settle earlier. Sahi waqt par sab kuchh sahi ho raha hai, especially as I have gained a better understanding of relationships.”

What about their honeymoon? Arti tells us that they have been preoccupied with wedding preparations, leaving them with no time to plan a honeymoon. “We are discussing it, but nothing concrete. My priority is to visit a temple after our wedding. I am excited about setting up our new home; that’s more important for me than the honeymoon,” she adds, smiling.
Has the actress heard from her maternal uncle, Govinda, since the news of her marriage surfaced? “Yes, I informed Chi Chi mama about my wedding, and he was happy for me. I hope they (Govinda and his family) bless me at the wedding. In fact, I am certain they will attend because they love me,” she replies.
