Supriya Pilgaonkar, a Marathi film and TV actress, remembers Sachin proposing to her on the set of his directorial film. Her mother-in-law recommended him to marry her. Supriya said that when Sachin was casting the lead actress for his Marathi film Navri Mile Navryala, his mother watched her perform and recommended her.
"He had a desire to create this film, but he struggled to find a suitable leading lady for it. As a result, he tasked everyone with finding an actress. During that time, I was performing in a small programme on Mumbai's Doordarshan channel. My mother-in-law was watching the show and noticed me, and she thought that I would be perfect for the role. She informed Sachin about me, and he agreed with his mother."
