One of the hit shows in Indian television, Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan holds a special place in the hearts of many to date. While the mythological characters are uniquely special to the hearts of every audience, it is more so because of the actors who portrayed them with all their heart and soul. Dipika Chikhlia has been one of them who gave her everything in portraying the iconic character of ‘Sita’ in the show, to the extent that often in her real lifeshe was worshipped like the goddess, Sita only. In her personal life however, she is married to Hemant Topiwala, the owner of the famous Shingar Bindi and Tips and Toes Cosmetics.
In comparison to her illustrious professional career, Dipika has always kept her personal life hidden from the public glare, until she shared it herself on her social media handle. While fast forward to this day, she is quite an active social media user, she had once shared an unseen picture from her Europe honeymoon with hubby, Hemant Topiwala. The then-newly wedded couple looked happy and radiant as they posed mushily against the backdrop of the snow-clad Alps in Switzerland. Along with the picture, Dipika shared the unknown backstory from the same and mentioned:
“This is a picture from my holiday after the wedding (honeymoon), we had taken a trip to Switzerland... He had asked me were for you want to travel after the wedding, I did not take even a minute to tell him... it’s Switzerland. I always thought and felt it’s land of dreams coming true ...I knew I wanted snow.”

Being an active social media user in the recent times, Dipika had once taken to her IG handle to drop unseen pictures from her real-life wedding with Hemant Topiwala and along with them, shared her love story with her real-life 'Ram'. She mentioned that she met Hemant when she was shooting for an ad film for Shingar Cosmetics, and that led the foundation for their lifetime of togetherness. In her words:
“My husband's family has been manufacturing and selling traditional Indian cosmetics under the name of Shingar since 1961....my very first movie that I did was Sun Meri Laila and, in the film, there was a scene where I model for an ad film and that ad film was for Shingar Kajal....when we were shooting for the ad scene, Hemant came on the set to watch the shoot.... that’s when we first met... After that we both got busy with our lives but we both were on each other's mind till we finally met again.”
Going further with the narration of her love story, Dipika had then mentioned how soon after their first meet, they began to purposely plan day outs with one another and use them as exclusive moments to chat endlessly and know each other up close and personal. It was then that they realised that they were meant to be together. In her words:
“We chatted on the sets bout our careers, that was the same time he started attending his father’s office alongside with his studies ...years later he saw me at a parlour near my home. He later told me I was always playing up on his mind all through those years. Finally, through a family friend we met up on 28th April, 1991 and it so happened that we spend 2hrs chatting up and instantly made up our minds and both of us went back home and announced we found our life partner ...we did a small ceremony on my birthday 29th April (goldhana or roka) later the same year we got married. Rest is history."
