Popular Hindi film and television actress Payal Rohatgi's partner and wrestler Sangram Singh has announced that they will be tying the knot this year. Taking to social media, the Arjuna Award winner revealed that he and Payal, who is currently participating in the Kangana Ranaut-hosted reality show Lock Upp, had initially planned to get hitched in March but had to postpone due to each of their work commitments. Replying to a fan's tweet about Payal's stint in Lock Upp, Sangram wrote about their soon-to-be-wedding and said, "Payal is a very nice girl. We both are alike, yet different. Every couple should have the same mindset and lifestyle. We had planned a wedding in March but both had work commitments. So we will get married closer to my birthday in July. God bless everyone"

Sangram, whose birthday is on July 21, had also announced his return to wrestling this year and will be competing in matches in Dubai soon. The couple first met when they participated in the first season of the hit reality show, Survivor India, in 2012, after which their relationship blossomed and they began dating. Payal had in an earlier interview revealed that she had met Sangram once before when she was traveling from Delhi to Agra and her car broke down on the highway. It was then that Sangram had stopped his car and came over to help her with her vehicle. She said that they exchanged numbers, but never spoke after their first meeting. However, after their stint on Survivor India, they fell in love and also went on to work in a film together titled Night. 

Payal and Sangram have been a couple for more than 8 years, with the actress since then making appearances in films like 36 China Town, Plan, and Rakt to name a notable few. She had also participated in Bigg Boss 2 in 2008, while also appearing as a guest to support Sangram during his stint on Bigg Boss 7 in 2013. Likewise, Payal and Sangram participated and performed together on the dance reality show Nach Baliye 7.
