 A match made on reality TV21-12-2009The first couple to get married on a reality TV show in India have vowed to make their marriage work. “If you really want to make your marriage a success, you can. If problems crop up, you can solve them with love. We will keep our marriage alive. My mother also bonds well with Rumpa, which is an added support,” said Hitesh. Gurgaon, Delhi-based designer Rumpa said she really was in love with Hitesh and hoped to have a happy married life with him.
“People find his anger repelling but I like his ‘angry young man’ image. I think he is very honest and a straightforward person. I really love
him and we would have married outside if it hadn’t happened here,” said Rumpa soon after winning the Lux Perfect Bride title on Star Plus.
The couple confessed to getting carried away by the novelty of the idea and described it as a fairytale marriage. However, the wedding, which was watched by millions of transfixed viewers across the country, may not have happened because Hitesh was initially attracted to fellow contestant Pooja Tandon, and he almost didn’t take part. “My coming on the show was totally coincidental. I had gone to the audition sets of Star Plus to retrieve a mobile phone, but landed up becoming a contestant myself,” said Hitesh.
Even though she has emerged a winner, Rumpa does not see herself in another show in the future and will concentrate on her profession instead.
She said: “I am a designer working with a leading export house right now. I can use the fame and contacts that I got through this show to progress in my field. Otherwise I am a very camera-shy person and do not wish to star in any more shows.”
Industry insiders predict that if the couple do stay together, then they will make a fortune and will inevitably star in a spin off.
