Deepika Singh Husband Rohit Raj Goyal Gets Emotional

The director also revisited the hurtful remarks his family once endured. "When people saw my father, they used to say that his children would never get married and that we would end up begging somewhere," he recalled. "But on the day we got married, so many people came to witness the wedding. This is all because of her."

Deepika's Heartfelt Reaction

Deepika responded with a message of her own, writing, "Kabhi socha nahi tha ye baat sabke saamne aayegi, par Rohit ji ne dil se sab keh diya. I was speechless because I had no idea he was going to share this." She added that his family's respect means a lot to her, and said she was proud of everything Rohit has achieved on his own through hard work, patience and his mother's prayers and blessings.

Their story began on the sets of 'Diya Aur Baati Hum', where Deepika became a household name as Sandhya Rathi and Rohit worked as director. The professional bond grew into a relationship, and the couple married on May 2, 2014, in Mumbai. Their son, Soham, was born in May 2017.

Why This Moment Matters

Rohit's words go beyond a celebrity love story. Families caring for members with special needs in India still face social judgement, and such conversations rarely reach mainstream entertainment platforms. By speaking openly on a popular reality show, Rohit has given visibility to a reality many households live with quietly, and to the caregivers, often women, who carry that responsibility.

Fans who grew up watching Sandhya's on-screen devotion to family are likely to see this as a real-life echo of the character that made Deepika famous. In a format built on 'panga', Rohit Raj Goyal's tribute stood out for its honesty, reframing Deepika Singh not just as a TV star, but as the person who, in his words, changed how the world looked at his family.
