Television’s beloved Gia Manek, forever etched in fans’ hearts as the original Gopi Bahu from Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, has taken the plunge into marital bliss. The actress, who became a household name with her sanskaari yet unforgettable screen presence, is now officially Mrs. Varunn Jain, and the news has set the internet abuzz!
The couple sealed their love in a serene and spiritual Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha ceremony at the Isha Foundation in Tamil Nadu, marking a fresh chapter in their journey. Gia looked nothing short of divine in a golden silk saree paired with traditional temple jewellery and jasmine-adorned hair, while Varunn perfectly complemented her in cream and gold attire. Their pictures exude grace, tradition, and a fairy-tale charm.
Sharing the big news on Instagram, Gia penned a heartfelt note:
“With the grace of Divine and Masters and with all the love showered, we’ve stepped into this forever union—hand in hand, heart in heart. We were two friends, today we’re husband and wife. Cheers to a lifetime of laughter, memories and togetherness as Mr. & Mrs.”
Interestingly, the actress turned off comments on her wedding post, choosing to keep the focus on their sacred moment rather than the chatter of the internet.
For those wondering who stole Gopi Bahu’s heart, Varunn Jain is no stranger to the television world. The 34-year-old actor is best remembered for his role as Mohit Rathi in Diya Aur Baati Hum. He has also showcased his acting prowess in shows like Kali Ek Agni Pariksha, Mere Angne Mein, Rishta Likhenge Hum Naya, Pehredaar Piya Ki and even shared screen space with Gia in Tera Mera Saath Rahe. Most recently, he appeared in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin and has expressed excitement about exploring darker, negative roles.
What started as friendship has blossomed into a lifelong bond, and now, TV’s much-loved stars have become partners both on and off screen. Fans may not have been invited to the wedding, but the pictures and heartfelt words from the couple have already made this one of the most talked-about events in the television industry.
From the iconic Gopi Bahu to a radiant bride, Gia Manek’s real-life love story proves that sometimes, reel and real aren’t too far apart.
