Satyadeep Misra and Masaba Gupta, on January 27, took everyone by surprise when they announced their wedding on social media. While everyone was aware that they were dating, the news certainly was a happy one. 

During a chat with Indian Express, Satyadeep revealed that their wedding was not ‘secretive’ but they just wanted to do something ‘small and private’.

“We wanted to do it in an intimate way. We went and signed on the 27th morning and had a small party. There was nothing secretive about it. We have always been very open about the relationship when it started. I also strongly feel that secrecy will sort of affect your relationship. You have to own it and be open about it. It was just that the pictures came like that and everyone was like ‘oh wow’,” he said.

Sharing details of their love story and how they just clicked, the actor revealed they met during the shoot of ‘Masaba Masaba’ season 1, where he was playing Masaba’s ex-husband. “It was an eight-day schedule and I came in with a broken leg. Maybe it was sympathy,” he added. Satyadeep further quipped, “I am not much of a talker but I could speak to her for hours. I like being around her and am the happiest when I go back home and spend those three hours with her. Which is why it seemed right.”

Rightly so, Satyadeep said that the pandemic gave them time to be together more. “It’s a learning; if you can pass through two years of Covid, being all peaceful and happy [it will work]. It happens that you just find somebody who you vibe better. You do have fights but they get resolved faster. Those things.. It’s a cumulative of all of it,” he said with a smile.

While Satyadeep Misra was earlier married to Aditi Rao Hydari, Masaba was married to Madhu Mantena and they divorced in 2019. So, was he cynical about falling in love again, and Satyadeep replied, “You are always wary of falling in love to an extent that it could hurt you. And that’s true for every one of us.”

He added, “I think the braver you are with love, the more it gives you back. Many have said it in the past too. Yes, the ones who have gone through breakups wouldn’t believe in it initially but I think that’s the way to go. You need to come from a place of giving to get it back. And it applies to everything in life.”

Satyadeep Misra is awaiting the release of ‘Jehanabad’, which will stream from February 3 on SonyLIV.
