Surbhi Chandna is a popular household name, thanks to serials like Qubool Hai, Ishqbaaz, Nagin 5. Surbhi married entrepreneur Karan Sharma last year on March 2, 2024. According to Surbhi’s husband Karan, marriage has brought no major change except there are more responsibilities now.

Surbhi feels, “There are no lifestyle changes but I have become less egoistic and wiser.’ Now they have started a production company together; in all probability, it will strengthen their bond further.

Q. When and how did you meet your husband Karan?

A. Karan and I met each other 13 years back when we shifted to Powai and my mom befriended Karan’s mother. We lived in the same building. Both our moms had decided that his birthday would be a good pretext for us to meet. He had come down from London.

Q. What was your initial reaction when you met him?

A. When I wished him, his reaction was very cold, but gradually his nature unfolded. I found him very shy. It didn’t seem that he would start a conversation.

Q. So what was the icebreaker?
