Namish Taneja with his girlfriend Aanchal Sharma

Swaragini actor Namish Taneja recently revealed that he has been in a relationship since 6 years. The actor is dating Aanchal Sharma, who is pursuing her graduation, which happens to be one of the main reasons he kept the relationship a secret. He said:

Aanchal is not from the entertainment industry and was pursuing graduation. I didn’t want to create unnecessary trouble for her by making our relationship public – it might hamper her studies. I am a protective boyfriend and I don’t want to make her personal life hell just because she is dating an actor.

Aww, that’s sweet! Namish just wanted his girlfriend to finish her graduation without any distractions due to him. He also revealed that his love story is quite filmy as it was kinda love at first sight:

Jaisa filmon mein hota hai, waisa hua tha hubahu. When I saw her leaving the restaurant, I went up to her and asked her if she’s on any social networking site. She got baffled and said no. I then requested her to share her number with me. Though she tried to give me a wrong number, she is so innocent that she ended up giving the right one. A few days later, I started sending messages to her and after a lot of struggle, I managed to convince her for a meeting. We gradually became friends and a year later, I told her that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Fortunately, she accepted my proposal.

However, marriage is not on the cards yet as the two want to first settle professionally and then plan other things. All the best, you guys!
