Shiva Trilogy author Amish Tripathi announces engagement, two years after divorce

'The Shiva Trilogy' author Amish Tripathi announced his engagement on Wednesday. The 48-year-old writer took to his Twitter account to share a lengthy note with his fans. 

Amish opened up that he met his fiancee Shivani in London and has now decided to get engaged. He wrote, “Lord Shiva has blessed me with success in my working life, far beyond what I deserve. But my personal life, over the last 7-8 years, has been very hard. The untimely loss of even one person in the family breaks you; I lost too many, one after another... There is only so much grief that one can bear."

He further revealed, "I have been given a 2nd chance – a good beyond my expectations. As you know, I have been divorced for many years and was single. I met Shivani in London recently. We have grown to love each other. And we are getting engaged.”
