In an interaction with a leading Indian daily, Divyanka was quizzed about when was the first time Vivek admitted his feelings for her. She said, "Ours was more like an arranged match, so initially, we were just trying to know and understand each other. Soon, we realized that our thoughts matched and we were quite compatible. However, neither of us expressed our feelings for each other. Then one day, we went on an outdoor shoot for Ye Hai Mohabbatein. While I was getting ready to shoot, he surprised me with a gift. When I unwrapped it, I saw that it was a beautiful poem that he had written and translated into Hindi. He had framed it beautifully."
