In April, Chandan and Kavitha had their engagement. They have known each other for eight years. The couple had played the lead in Lakshmi Baramma serial.

For years, they have remained good friends although rumours have been doing rounds about their affair. Even when the questions of their relationship arose, the actors stated that they were just "good friends."

Love in the Times of Corona
Speaking to a daily, Chandan Kumar said that they fell in love, last year. "We are taking our relationship to the next level with a simple engagement ceremony. It is an exciting phase of life for both of us. I first met Kavitha on the set of Lakshmi Baramma about eight years ago. Since then, we have been very good friends.

It was after the lockdown period when we began trekking together with a group of friends that we got to know we are made for each other and our friendship blossomed into love. The wedding will take place in May. We are yet to finalise the date." he is quoted as saying by The Times of India.
