Neha Dhupia married her ‘best friend’ Angad Bedi in 2018, in a wedding that took everyone by surprise, including the couple themselves. They had never dated and went straight into marriage. As they settled into married life, they began discovering more about each other. Neha once shared that, at one point, her mother-in-law even had to adjust a painting in their home to help prevent arguments between the two.
Recently, the actress gave a house tour to Pinkvilla. While showing them her neatly curated house in Mumbai, Neha also shared stories behind each of the artwork they have collected over the years. Pointing towards a face painting divided in two frames, Neha shared, “We got these two art works and they were actually put back-to-back.” It was placed near their dining area.

She explained, “They were facing each other’s back. So, Angad’s mom came home and said, ‘Why are these paintings not facing each other?’ I said, ‘It’s just a design thing.’ She was very symbolic of the fact that if the paintings are facing each other that means you are in agreement and that we stand for love and understanding.”
Neha Dhupia shared despite her mother-in-law’s attempt at convincing her to make the two paintings face each other, she was dismissive about it. “I said, ‘Aisa kuch nahi hota hai (It doesn’t work that way).’ And soon after that (conversation), Angad and I had one of those squabbles and fight. My mother-in-law then said, ‘I told you.’ And then she instantly changed the paintings’ placement and made them face each other.” Neha said soon after she and Angad kissed and made up.
Neha and Angad were friends for a long time. Soon after she left Roadies, Neha felt she had feelings for Angad and before they could figure it out, their parents had their marriage fixed. Neha told Film Companion, “We didn’t date for a single day of our lives. I swear! I am saying this on record: we did not date for a single day of our lives. We’ve been friends, and we’ve seen each other through different relationships. He’s all heart, and then, right before I left Roadies, I was like, he’s not bad, he’s amazing. I love him. He always had a piece of my heart, but not like that.”
After this, she called designer Anita Dongre for a last minute outfit and rented a pink lehenga for her big day.

However, in another interview, Neha claimed that she was dating Angad Bedi when she got pregnant. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Neha shared, ““You are always questioned that ‘are you together because this happened or you genuinely want to be together?’ It worked out well. There’s no other way I would want it.”
Angad Bedi and Neha Dhupia tied the knot in May 2018 and welcomed their daughter Mehr in November of the same year. Three years later, they welcomed their son Guriq.
