Divyanka Tripathi and her husband actor Vivek Dahiya on Thursday celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary. Vivek recalled they were 'patched by a colleague' and didn't know each other. He also said that that Divyanka's mother was looking for a good and suitable boy when the mutual friend of the couple informed her about him. Divyanka Tripathi and Vivek Dahiya tied the knot on July 8, 2016, in Bhopal. They got engaged on January 16, 2016.

Speaking to Times Now, Vivek said, "We were patched by a colleague. An actor who used to work with us, he knew me personally and he knew her also personally. I was not looking (for someone). Her mom (Divyanka's mom) was looking for someone for her, so she told him (the actor) that 'if you find a good boy, a suitable boy, you please call me. So he called her and told her that this (Vivek) is the same guy who played a cop in the show. So she said, 'oh ya I like him."And then, he sent us on a date - he forced us to go on a date and on that day itself I kind of made up my mind that she (Divyanka) is going to be the one. On the very first date - we didn't know each other, we were just talking and realized that eventually we could (marry)," he added.

Earlier this year, Divyanka had opened up about her relationship with Vivek and her father's reaction to them being together. "Dad did raise eyebrows and I hadn't seen him doing that in the case of my earlier 'friends'. This happened because it was clear that Vivek and I were planning to marry. Next, Vivek was interviewed by my dad, sister and brother-in-law. I, too, was interviewed by his family in a closed room.
