Kelkar's anecdote saw him recall how he had only just started his career as an actor when he and Keerti decided to get married. Kelkar reveals that he asked his mother to take out the muhurat for their wedding, albeit one that was a little far off as neither he nor Keerti had the funds to see through the expenses. Kelkar had signed a show around the same time and was hoping to save enough for the wedding. However, being creatively unsatisfied with the same, he quit the show with the intention to strive for work that would satiate him as an actor. Sharad and Keerti ultimately tied the knot on June 3 2005.
