It was on the sets of the movie Jayati, by Hansal Mehta, where Ashutosh and Renuka met for the first time. Singer Rajeshwari Sachdev introduced the two to each other. Ashutosh had seen Renuka’s work, but she was oblivious to his stints and to him too. On meeting Renuka, Ashutosh very politely remarked: “Hum aapke bade prashansak hain.”
Renuka was overwhelmed by it, but there was no contact between them for several months. It all started again when director Ravi Ravi hosted a Diwali party which Renuka, unfortunately, could not attend. The next day, Renuka received a voice mail from Ashutosh, wishing her Diwali. Those voice mails were followed by a few more voice mails and rest, as they say, is history!
Like every love story, this one too had a few glitches. While Renuka had some doubts because of her previous short-lived marriage, Ashutosh had no qualms about their compatibility.There was one more thing that made Renuka’s mother feel a little apprehensive about this match. In Renuka’s words: “My mother was very tense, not because it was my second marriage, but due to Ashutosh’s family background. His family, which hails from a little hamlet in Madhya Pradesh, consists of twelve members.”

After all these years, they have their own list of likes and dislikes. He believes their marriage is based on friendship and thinks all marriages today are. They love spending time together watching movies, plays, and having long discussions on theater.
