Vivaan Shah: I had been single for a very long time before I met Karishma Sharma. I believed that I would never find love

Actor Vivaan Shah has made the decision to open up after previously refusing to talk in great detail about his personal issues. Despite the fact that Karishma Sharma, who plays the villain in Ek Villain Returns, termed Shah a "gift" in her life when we first revealed their relationship on Monday, Shah waited till now to confirm it. "When you least hope it, love finds you. It eludes you when you go looking for it, adds Shah. He continues, "In June of last year, I was struggling to deal with the second wave and the continued emotional fallout from Covid. It was a terrible time and a period of extreme spiritual and professional sadness. I was not having the best of times professionally.

I had a poor sense of self and had been single for a long time.

I was on the verge of giving up because I thought that all I needed to be happy was my work and that I would never really find true love or romance.

The next thing Shah says is straight out of a movie. Karishma came into my life at this point like a guardian angel and gave my hopes a fresh start, the author continues. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and the biggest blessing. To put into words how much she means to me and how much joy she has brought into my life would be challenging.

Shah refers to Sharma as "a renaissance woman" when referring to her.

I have never met someone more motivating than her. One of the hardest things a person can do is move from Patna to Bombay and work hard in our profession to realise their dreams. She is genuinely inspiring. She also sings beautifully; this is a little-known feature about her. She is one of the most charismatic and skilled actresses I have ever seen. To write something for her would be a dream come true for me. We often ponder working together on a project. She also writes. She is my personal heroine and the source of all of my motivation and creativity, he says.
