Ratan Rajput selects Abhinav Sharma in Swayamvar Season 3 - Ratan Ka Rishta

Television actress Ratan Rajput has chosen Abhinav Sharma to be her significant other in Swayamvar Season 3 - Ratan Ka Rishta, though one should not expect news of the couple getting married anytime soon.

26 year old Abhinav Sharma is a software engineer based in Delhi and the in-love couple have decided to get engaged, and plan on spend more time getting to know each other better before committing to the institution of marriage.

Ratan Rajput who is popularly known by her screen name Laali in Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, had always said that she was not sure if she would marry on screen, nevertheless, Ratan had received 54,863 wedding proposals and the show started with 16 prospective grooms vying for her love.

In the finale of Swayamvar Ratan Rajput, dressed in complete bridal getup, picked Abhinav over Deepak Pandit of Jammu and Anupam Singh Kushwah from Poland.

"The kind of life partner I had dreamt of... Abhinav fits into it. During the show we, have discussed about leading a simple life and how would we be able to manage. So we have decided to just get engaged and spend sometime together and will get married in some time," said Ratan.

"Ratan has taken this decision for me. We had discussed this before during the show and Ratan understands my situation. We are engaged," chimed in Abhinav.

So comes to end another season on Swayamvar, now we will see if Ratan goes the Rakhi way and moves on from Abhinav Sharma even before the next season of Swayamvar is announced.

Ratan Rajput’s Rs 2 crore Ka Rishta

Despite the disappointing ratings, Ratan Ka Rishta will make Ratan Rajput richer by over Rs 2 crore. That’s irrespective of whether she waltzes off into the sunset with a husband or not. 

The whopping amount she gets is her fee for participating in the show. Ratan’s quest for the perfect match began on May 30 with 16 “eligible” bachelors lined up. Now, five weeks later, it’s time for Ratan to choose her groom in the show’s finale on Sunday. The three contenders are: Deepak Pandit from Jammu, Anupam Singh from MP who is currently based in Poland and Delhi boy Abhinav Sharma. All three are software professionals. Deepak is said to be the front runner in the race to win Ratan’s heart and he’ll probably be the lucky guy who gets the swayamvar mala. “Ratan appears to have a penchant for Deepak and it’s highly likely that he will be her swayamvar man,” says a source in SOL India, which produced the show. However, a big question mark hovers around the marriage bit. Will Ratan follow Rahul Mahajan’s example? 

Highly unlikely. In fact, as the title of the show’s third season suggests, it will end with an engagement and, like Rakhi Sawant, Ratan will take her time to decide about marriage. “She will choose her guy but it’s doubtful whether there will be any wedding in the finale. Ratan is keen on getting to know Deepak better. But she is in no hurry to tie the knot,” says a source. Ratan has given enough indication of this. The three top contestants are middle-class boys with average looks which explains her reluctance to marry any of them. “She wants to continue with her career for at least a couple of years, if not more, and none of the three have even a remote connection with showbiz and the glamour world,” adds the source. Probably Ratan Ka Rishta would not have happened had the channel not put the promos on air in December. Being a personality-driven show, the channel’s new owner Turner was not too happy with the choice of Ratan. But since the promos were already on air, Imagine was compelled to go ahead with the show.

No one can force Ratan for marrying on screen!

One big question that is on everyone's mind is that whether Ratan Rajput will marry on screen or get engaged? "I can't say anything right now.?

I can't make any commitments like Rakhi or Rahul did earlier. It all depends if I actually get my man on the show; if not, I just might not get married at all here. No one can force me to do anything on the show, not even the channel. I am not bound by any such clause that I have to do this," she clarifies.

And while Ratan might not be sure of the dulha, she is definitely sure of the shaadi ke celebrations. "See, I am from Patna and all my friends and family members are there only, so, the celebrations of my wedding will happen with great dhoom dhaam their. Shaadi wahan hogi ya nahi ye nahi pata, but celebrations toh zaroor honge wahan!" she smiles.

Why did you agree for a swayamvar?

Har ladki ki iccha hoti hai ki uska swayamvar ho aur usse uska sapno ka rajkumar mil jaye. This is not my decision alone, I have my family's consent for this.

What qualities are you looking for in your man?

I want my husband to be loving and caring. He should understand the child in me and be able to understand every situation and deal with it in a mature manner.

Why is it that none of the 16 prospective grooms are from your state or hometown?

I did not select the grooms after seeing their states or where they belong to. I am not marrying the state but just the man.

Do you feel with so many options, it might be difficult for you to choose?

There is bound to be some confusion, but then hopefully the best man will emerge.

In the first season Rakhi claimed to get married, but ended up with a broken engagement. What should we expect out of this show?

I am going to marry the man I choose. Period. I understand the gravity of the institution of marriage. The decision has to be mutual. I am not making any claims here but what people need to know is that it won't be just any other day, there will be two families involved in this.

Will you work even after marriage?

I hope my partner allows me to because I really love doing this. It's my work that has brought me so far, I cannot go anywhere else. I think both of us will have to make adjustments, if need be.

What is more important for you— surat or seerat?

Surat poori zindagi nahi rehti par aapki seerat aapka saath nahi chodti.

But just in case you do not find anyone suitable for yourself, then?

Please! Shubh shubh bolo...
