It’s been two months since actor Karan Deol tied the knot with long-time girlfriend Drisha Acharya, and he calls it the “best decision” of his life. In his first interview after the wedding, which took place on June 18, he tells us, “Drisha truly connects with my family. Everyone loves her!”

The pair had been dating for 10 years, which is why Karan, who is the son of actor Sunny Deol, feels “life hasn’t changed much after the wedding”. “I was always sure that Drisha was the person [for me],” he says, adding that he took his time before taking his relationship to the next level because he wanted to be “financially stable”.

The Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas (2019) and Velle (2021) actor shares, “My decision to get married was largely dependent on getting my career going. It was bound to happen, so getting married was just about finding the right time.”

Calling Drisha his “best friend and biggest support factor”, the 32-year-old gushes that there is nothing she doesn’t know about him.

“She has known me since before I got into the industry. Now, I can’t think of life without her. It is amazing to share my life with her; it is like spending time with your best friend and the love of your life. She knows me inside out.”

Looking back at his big fat Punjabi wedding, Karan says it was a “non-stop celebration”. “Every time I look back at those days, I wish I could relive them all over again.” One of his most special moments from the festivities was the dance tribute he gave his grandfather, veteran actor, Dharmendra.

“I was reluctant about it initially, but decided to go ahead with it. It wasn’t planned for him to come on stage, but it was the love which brought him on. Having him on stage was magical,” he concludes.
