Today, April 30, 2026, marks a full decade since Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover exchanged vows — and the way they're celebrating says everything about who they are as a couple. While most Bollywood anniversaries play out as grand PR exercises, this one landed differently: intimate, warm, and unmistakably real.
Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover have marked a rare milestone in Bollywood: a decade‑long marriage that has stayed relatively gossip‑free and emotionally grounded. On April 30, 2026, the couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, with Karan calling Bipasha his “heartbeat” in a series of intimate social‑media posts, underlining how their relationship has evolved from a set romance into a family‑centric, long‑term partnership.
From Co-Stars to Soulmates: How It All Began
The couple first met on the set of director Bhushan Patel's film Alone in 2015. After a year of dating, they made their relationship official by tying the knot on April 30, 2016. At the time, the wedding — held at a Mumbai temple with close friends and family — was notable for its intimacy. In an industry notorious for spectacle, Bipasha and Karan chose sincerity.
What made the love story compelling to fans was its transparency. Karan never shied away from expressing his devotion publicly. Earlier this year, on Bipasha's birthday in January, he described her as his "most favourite person in the whole wide world," his "bestest friend," and the "most patient person" he knows, signing off with "#monkeylove." Bipasha's reply — just "TUVU" — became its own kind of internet moment.
The Third Dimension: Baby Devi Changes Everything
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Devi Basu Singh Grover, in 2022. Since then, Bipasha has stepped back from film commitments, focusing her energy on motherhood.
In her anniversary post, she made it clear this wasn't a sacrifice — it was a choice. She wrote that she and Devi are "the luckiest girls," a sentiment that captures something rarely voiced aloud in celebrity culture: that happiness can look quieter than fame.

Two Careers, One Household
While Bipasha has been away from screens since Alone (2015), her body of work stands tall. She made her acting debut with Ajnabee in 2001, followed by Jism in 2003, before appearing in back-to-back blockbusters No Entry (2005) and Dhoom 2 (2006). She further cemented her presence through films like Race, Raaz 3D, and Creature 3D. Bipasha was, in many ways, the reigning queen of Bollywood's thriller and horror genre — a lane she carved out almost entirely on her own.
Karan, meanwhile, has remained active. He was most recently seen in Siddharth Anand's high-octane action film Fighter, alongside Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor. He also has deep roots in Indian television, most notably through Dill Mill Gayye and Qubool Hai, which gave him a devoted fanbase long before he transitioned to films.
Why This Anniversary Matters Beyond the Celebration
In the age of celebrity relationships defined by headlines, breakups, and brand deals, Bipasha and Karan represent something increasingly rare: a couple that grew more private as they grew more settled. No reality shows. No brand-endorsed "relationship content." Just consistent, genuine warmth on social media — and a daughter named Devi.
Earlier this year, Bipasha also participated in a viral social media trend around the year 2016, sharing wedding photographs — a move that felt less like trend-chasing and more like a quiet love letter to the year that changed her life.
Ten years in, the #MonkeyLove isn't a PR story. It's a real one.
What's Next for the Couple?
Fans have been vocal about wanting Bipasha back on screen. Her unique command over the thriller and horror genres — roles that demand both physical and emotional intensity — remains unmatched in Bollywood. While no official announcement has been made about a film comeback, her daughter Devi is now three years old, suggesting a possible return to the craft could be on the horizon.
Karan, for his part, is expected to continue with both television and film projects following the success of Fighter.
