Wedding bells: Comedian Balraj Syal ties knot with singer Deepti Tuli

Actor and comedian Balraj Syal tied the knot with singer Deepti Tuli in a rather low-key wedding on August 7 in Jalandhar. Now, after a month of his wedding, Balraj has revealed the news: “We could only invite 30 people. I have a large circle of friends and it wouldn’t have been possible to invite everyone. I plan to host a huge reception once the situation is back to normal.”

Talking about how he met his wife, the actor says, “We met in July last year, during a shoot in Chandigarh. I was hosting a show, while she was performing in it with her band. I developed an instant liking for her, but, I guess, she didn’t like me much or else she would have responded to my text messages.”

He adds, “Later, I went to shoot for Khatron Ke Khiladi and kept texting her, but didn’t get the desired response. It was during my trip to Turkey and Greece that we started having long conversations. I met her a couple of times after I returned, and proposed marriage to her on my birthday (January 26), during a getaway in Goa. She was taken by surprise and didn’t respond immediately. I spoke to her again about marriage and she agreed. The families met just a few days before the lockdown in March and our horoscopes matched too.”
