Bigg Boss 17 has begun and is impressing fans with its entertaining episodes every day. This season introduced fans to two TV couples - Neil Bhatt-Aishwarya Sharma and Ankita Lokhande-Vicky Jain as the contestants of the show. Neil and Aishwarya’s love story begins way back when they met on the sets of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. The couple share an adorable love story. However, they are often seen getting trolled on social media for their marital choice. Here’s a sneak peek into their relationship timeline.

Neil and Aishwarya met on the sets of the TV show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. While, Neil played the lead role of a protagonist- Virat, Aishwarya was seen playing an antagonist - Pakhi. At first, they became good friends and later fell head over heels with each other. They constantly stuck by each other and later confessed their feelings for each other on the sets of the TV show. In an exclusive chat with BT, Neil shared, “We have been shooting together since September last year. We enjoyed each other’s company and became friends. Our friendship soon blossomed into love. ‘Let’s just give it a shot’, aisa nahi karna tha. We always intended to take our relationship seriously right from the word go. It was always for a long-term relationship and not the usual short-lived one. We didn’t even ask each other out. We realised that something was brewing between us, but we wanted it to grow into something serious. That was the idea rather than asking ‘I have feelings for you. Do you feel the same way?’. The thought was how to take things forward.”

In the start of the first season of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, Neil and Aishwarya aka Virat and Pakhi were seen having a cute love story in the TV show. Netizens quite liked their chemistry at the beginning and wished to see them together in the following episodes as well. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Virat met Sai (Ayesha Singh) and their love story was shown in the show. Virat and Sai’s love story stayed intact throughout the season and netizens loved the two of them together. Pakhi (Aishwarya Sharma) was shown as an antagonist of the TV show and hence started to receive hate comments over her ‘real-life’ love story with Neil.

After dating for almost a year, Neil and Aishwarya decided to take their relationship to the next level and got married on November 30, 2021. The two tied the knot in a dreamy affair in the presence of their loved ones. They shared pictures and videos from their marriage giving fans a glimpse into it.

Aishwarya Sharma and Neil Bhatt were brutally trolled for their marital choice after they got married. Neil’s chemistry with co-star Ayesha Singh aka Sai made a special place in netizens' hearts. It was difficult for them to accept Neil and Aishwarya as a couple. The two faced trolls and hate on a constant basis on the internet. However, the two stayed unbothered and continued with their dreamy love story.

The couple made their reality show debut together with Smart Jodi. The two impresses fans with their dance performances and acts on the TV show. They even opened up about their relationship and how the two fell in love with each other. Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain were the winners of the reality show.

Aishwarya was offered Bigg Boss 17 when she was in Khatron Ke Khiladi 13. Bigg Boss invited the actress through a fun video. However, not many expected Neil to be a part of the reality show as well. But the couple surprised the fans by making it to the show together.
