Pratik Gandhi's Affair and Relationship with his wife Bhamini Oza

Pratik Gandhi said in an interview  
In 2006 while attending the Prithvi Theatre Festival I met Bhamini. She was watching me perform while she was in the audience. She's also an actor? I had no idea. It all began when I saw her when I was on stage performing. Between Bhamini and I the theater acted as Cupid. Kajal a mutual friend also assisted me in getting in touch with her. To get her to agree to a coffee date I pursued her assiduously for almost two years.

I had the chance to collaborate with her on a play. We were all practicing together and there was a sizable cast.

I was the one who insisted on meeting her. One day after finishing my freelance work on an engineering assignment I messaged her out of the blue asking Coffee in the evening? It was an agonizingly long 20 minutes before she texted See you at Barista coffee shop at 7.30 pm. I don't recall who bought the coffee while we discussed over it.

I was too shaken up to give a gift. In addition we were already acquainted. Therefore giving flowers or chocolates would be embarrassing for us both.

It wasn't the age of WhatsApp. We would text back and forth. Calls cost a lot back then in the hard times when every cent was scrutinized. However we would communicate at least ten times per day. We may or may not be possessive. But we really do care about one another. One notable quality about Bhamini is that she won't do anything without me. I prod her to go on an outing or to the movies with her pals but she won't.

Throughout our courtship we frequently clashed. Because she was busy shooting TV serials at the time the majority of the arguments revolved around how much time we should give to one another. She had more going on than I did. I thought we need to get to know one another better by spending more time together. I wouldn't characterize them as battles in retrospect; rather they were more like debates.

I have to apologize first whether it's a written rule or an unwritten one. Finally I made a gold and diamond pendant for my marriage proposal.

My parents pushed me to ask Bhamini to marry me or let them speak to her. They had a Let's just finished it mentality. Her parents were also quite laid back. I was attempting to make something of my life as a struggling actor and engineer. I lacked a home of my own. But after only one encounter with her father everything came together. Definitely cool! Pratik Gandhi and Bhamini Oza got married in 2009.

Pratik Gandhi Struggles

Pratik Gandhi relocated to Mumbai after earning his college degree. Mumbainian life was not simple. He endured a lot of trying times. He experienced months without employment or income. In order to make some money he was forced to take up odd tasks like anchoring and erecting television towers. He experienced difficulty when the floods in Surat caused his family's home to be lost. He had to move in with his entire family.

I vividly recall how difficult that time was for everyone Pratik Gandhi said. We all shared a one-bedroom flat. Imagine how well five people must have gotten along! I started working because I had to provide for my family. However I really like performing and didn't give it up entirely. He used to practice every day for two hours before and after work. When he had the chance he performed in plays. For six years Pratik Gandhi performed this.

Finally he was given the chance to appear in a Gujarati film one day. Alongside managing his job he signed the movie. Pratik Gandhi used to rush to his office for work a number of days after filming for the movie ended. Although he was under a lot of work pressure he was finally able to pursue his love. He became well-known in Gujarati cinema thanks to the success of the Gujarati movie. When he obtained additional acting offers he quit his job. Although he had a young child at home and debt to pay off he was aware that his old career would not make him happy.

Pratik has appeared in films such as Loveyatri and Mitron. He can still clearly recall how he came to be chosen to play Harshad Mehta in Scam 1992. He did research to learn about stocks. His life was transformed by playing Harshad Mehta. When people recognize me as the lead actor and give me credit for my efforts he said It feels so fantastic.
