Ah, young love! Can’t live with it, can’t live without it. While most of us are still struggling with said love (hang in there, you guys), some of our favourite TV actors found it quite early on in life too! Of course, when it comes to relationships, all is not rosy and sometimes it doesn’t end with the ‘happily ever after’. But what’s commendable is that these TV celebs took the plunge. Without further ado, we bring to you a comprehensive list of TV celebs who married young, taking the leap of love in their early 20s and some even before that age. Read on!

Remember Rajat Tokas? Of course, you do! The young TV actor who is known for his leading roles in period dramas such as Akbar and Prithviraj Chauhan tied the knot with Shrishti Nayyar, a theatre artist when he was only 24 years of age. The wedding was what we assume a grand affair at the Udaipur Palace. The actor recently shared a throwback pic from his wedding and the couple looked royal AF!

Soon after making her debut on television, Shweta Tiwari married her Raja Chowdhry. At the time of her marriage, the popular actress was only 19 years old, and things took a U-turn once Raja started abusing her physically. In an interview to a leading daily, she said, “When I got married to Raja in 1999, I was 19; I was too young to understand that he was not the right guy for me. Your husband should be able to respect you; he cannot be financially dependent on his wife. I just thought you only need to like a person to marry him, which is quite naïve.”
After leaving the abusive marriage behind, Shweta Tiwari found love again and is now married to actor Abhinav Kohli.

It wasn’t long before stories of his abusive behavior starting doing the rounds, and it wasn’t long before the model and actress filed for divorce. She got married for the second time to a Dubai-based engineer in a Bengali wedding.
