Television actress Ashlesha Sawant recently opened up about her long-standing relationship with actor Sandeep Baswana, revealing how their bond evolved over the years before they decided to get married. The couple, who have been together for more than two decades, first met on the set of the popular television show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
From Co-stars to Life Partners
In a recent YouTube video with Hauterrfly, Ashlesha and Sandeep shared intimate details about their relationship, marriage, and more. Reflecting on their live-in relationship before marriage, Ashlesha said, “There used to be parties at his house after pack-up, usually once or twice a week. I would often stay back because we had to go to the set together the next morning. That’s how it all began. Gradually, it stopped being limited to just those get-togethers. After pack-up, I started spending time with him at his house. No one knew about it.”
She further recalled how their friendship deepened over time. Ashlesha added, “Sometimes he would say, ‘Let’s watch this movie,’ and it would turn into an all-night movie marathon. Other times, he would say, ‘Let’s go to Goa,’ and I would immediately agree. Sometimes we would leave for a party and return home two days later. He was like the captain of my life. Wherever he led, I followed.”
Love Blossoms Over Time
Ashlesha revealed how her feelings grew stronger with each passing day. “Gradually, I started liking everything about him. I became like a child. Whatever he did, I liked it. Even his small gestures became precious to me.” Their love story began in 2002 when they met on the sets of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. After being together for 23 years, the couple finally tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Vrindavan on November 16, 2025.
The couple’s journey from co-stars to life partners is a testament to their enduring love and commitment. Their candid conversation about their relationship has resonated with fans, offering a glimpse into the beautiful bond they share.
