They are often questioned about their marriage, Kashmera Shah and Krushna Abhishek have always maintained that they will tie the knot when the time is right. However, we've just found out that the two are actually already married. The couple, who has been in a relationship since nine years, including eight years of live-in, tied the knot on July 24, 2013, on an impulse. Initially reluctant, Kashmera confirms the news, “We were abroad when Krushna popped the question on July 23.“

“And the next morning we told our friends, who had accompanied us, to be ready by 10 am,“ says Kashmera adding, “We got married at 11.30 am at a church one hour away from Las Vegas. We didn't even have the time to do proper shopping. Fortunately, I had a lehenga that I was carrying for a friend's wedding there and ended up wearing the same to mine.“

Why did they play hide-and-seek with the media? “Because, we weren't sure if our marriage would last this long. We had Sunitaji's (Govinda's wife) blessings along with the rest of the family. Krushna's father is the ultimate one in his life and he too approved it. We didn't not want a big fat wedding, so, we kind of eloped,“ says she.

While Krushna told his father about the secret wedding a few days ago, Kashmera is yet to tell her folks. “Krushna's father gave us his blessings and has told us to plan a party for our friends,“ she says.
