Defense
Jariwala, Tyagi were married for nearly 11 years
Jariwala was married to Harmeet Singh of Meet Bros from 2004 to 2009. Reportedly, the duo parted ways on bitter terms. After that, she met Tyagi at a dinner party, and the two became friends quickly. Apparently, while Tyagi was instantly smitten by Jariwala, it took the latter some time to warm up to him. The couple ended up tying the knot in August 2014.
