Ashish Dixit and Shweta Kanoje renew wedding vows
Ashish Dixit, lead actor of 'Pati Brahmachari,' and his wife Shweta Kanoje reaffirmed their commitment in a Trimbakeshwar ceremony, fulfilling a promise made during their dating years Ashish Dixit , who plays the lead in the TV show Pati Brahmachari, recently renewed his wedding vows with wife Shweta Kanoje. The couple, who tied the knot in 2019, had a small ceremony in Trimbakeshwar, fulfilling a promise they made to each other years ago. Ashish shares, 'When Shweta and I were dating in 2016, we had promised each other that we would get married at a religious place. Unfortunately, that didn't happen then and it always remained at the back of our minds. So last month, we went to Trimbakeshwar, got the necessary permissions and went ahead. Our parents were present for the ceremony, but what made it even more special was that our two-year-old daughter was with us. It felt beautiful and all the memories of our wedding day came back to us.' 'Now I'm focused on balancing my personal and professional life Incidentally, a few years ago, there were rumours of trouble in their marriage. Ashish says, 'In the past few years, I couldn't focus enough on my personal life due to work. I used to be away from home for months, shooting for web shows, and during that time, Shweta went back to her hometown, Nagpur, so people assumed things. But we were always together. Getting married again has brought us even closer, and now I'm making sure I strike the right balance between my personal and professional life. '

Puja Sharma and Ashish Dixit on the healing power of Yoga and Music
On the occasion of International Yoga Day and World Music Day, television actors Puja Sharma and Ashish Dixit share how yoga and music help them stay grounded amidst their demanding shoot schedules — offering moments of calm, clarity, and joy. Puja Sharma, who plays Kanka in Jhanak, is working toward building a more consistent yoga practice and believes even 3–4 days a week can bring a real shift — physically, mentally, and emotionally. 'I truly want to make yoga a more permanent part of my lifestyle because I've seen how even a little bit can create balance,' she shares. Music, too, is an essential part of her daily rhythm. 'I start my mornings with chants and meditation music to feel centered, and before stepping out, I dance to a high-energy Punjabi song to uplift my vibe! After a long day on set, soothing music — be it AR Rahman, Indian classical, ghazals, or 90s Bollywood — helps me unwind and reconnect with myself. Music is my therapy — a silent friend that's always there.' For Ashish Dixit, the lead in Pati Brahmachari, yoga is a way to reset during packed days on set. 'Yoga helps me find moments of stillness in a hectic routine. Even on busy shoot days, I try to fit in short stretches or breathing exercises between scenes. It calms my nerves and helps me approach every shot with more focus.' When it comes to music, his choices are rooted in emotion. 'I often listen to soft instrumental tracks or soulful Sufi music on my way to the set — it puts me in the right frame of mind. And after a long day, nothing beats old Hindi classics to help me unwind.' For both actors, yoga and music are more than wellness trends — they're essential tools for emotional balance and self-connection. Can you laugh like these TV celebs?

Exclusive- Actor Ashish Dixit and wife Shweta Kanoje remarry in Trimbakeshwar after 6 years, says 'it's like falling in love all over again'
TV celeb Ashish Dixit , currently winning hearts in the TV show Pati Brahmachari, just had a filmy moment in real life! Six years after their big fat Indian wedding, Ashish and his wife Shweta Kanoje got remarried, this time in an intimate spiritual ceremony at the holy Trimbakeshwar temple, fulfilling a long-standing promise. Ashish said, "I had promised Shweta that I would fill her maang with sindoor at Trimbakeshwar,' said Ashish, overwhelmed with emotion. 'This wasn't just a wedding — it felt like a rebirth of our love. I want our bond to remain eternal and never fade." Despite his hectic shooting schedule, Ashish made time for this deeply personal moment, proving that when love is true, no commitment is too big and no promise too old. The couple chose the exact same time as their original wedding — 1:30 PM, on an auspicious Tuesday — and followed traditional Maharashtrian rituals for the ceremony. They even got decked up like a proper dulha and dulhan, complete with the traditional Mundavalya (the sacred forehead thread) tied across their heads, recreating their wedding look down to the tiniest detail. Afterwards, they sought blessings from Lord Shiva, finally fulfilling the vow they had made to each other years ago. 'It honestly feels like we just got married,' Ashish added with a smile. 'We're giggling, stealing glances, getting shy — it's like falling in love all over again.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 年最紓壓的農場遊戲！無需安裝 東加：島嶼農場 立即播放 Undo Earlier, Ashish said, 'Indian television has long relied on physicality to sell romance,' says Dixit.

Actor Ashish Dixit lives his brahmachari role off-camera too!
Ashish Dixit (R) in a still from Pati Brahmchari (BCCL/ ashishdixitofficial) In an industry where romantic chemistry often takes centre stage, actor Ashish Dixit is turning heads with his radical approach to playing a celibate husband. Currently seen as the lead in Pati Brahmachari, Dixit has taken method acting to a whole new level, enforcing a self-imposed 'no touching' rule on set. 'I'm fully living the part,' says Dixit, who plays Sooraj, a devout man bound by a vow of celibacy. 'I don't even touch the clothes, dupattas, phones, or accessories of my female co-actors. The role demands discipline, and I've made that my personal code.' While celibate characters aren't new to Indian television, Pati Brahmachari offers a refreshingly nuanced portrayal. Sooraj may be married, but the love story is conveyed through silent glances, unsaid emotions, and intense inner conflict. Insiders reveal the script deliberately avoids physical contact between the lead pair—and it remains uncertain whether the couple will touch at throughout the show. 'The love is real, but it's rooted in restraint,' Dixit explains. 'There are no dramatic falls, no sudden hugs or embraces. Sooraj is caught between his love for his wife and his loyalty to his father's strict ideals. It's emotionally layered and mentally demanding.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo His commitment doesn't end when the cameras stop rolling. On set, crew members are briefed about his 'no-contact protocol', with assistant directors and junior artists instructed to maintain his space. Even during breaks, Dixit avoids casual interactions that could disrupt his character's energy. 'It's not about being antisocial,' he clarifies. 'It's about staying in the mental space the role requires. The audience can sense when you're being authentic—and I want to honour that.' 'Indian television has long relied on physicality to sell romance,' says Dixit. 'But this show dares to do something different. It explores whether two people can fall in love without ever touching—that's what drew me in.' For Ashish Dixit, Pati Brahmachari isn't just another acting assignment—it's a complete immersion into the mind, body, and spirit of a man at war with his own desires. And as audiences stay glued to the screen, one thing is clear: sometimes, the deepest connections don't require a single touch.

Get them legal assistance, says HC on 3 Indians sentenced to death in Indonesia
NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Friday told the ministry of external affairs (MEA) to pursue with their counterparts in Indonesia to provide legal assistance to three Indians on death row. The court, which was hearing a petition filed by spouses of the three men, also asked the Indian mission in Indonesia to ensure that the three, accused in a drug related case, were allowed to speak to their family and spouses back home in India. The court has also issued notice to the government and posted the matter for hearing on May 6. The Centre was represented by standing counsel Ashish Dixit who sought time to take instructions. The three nationals – Raju Muthukumaran (38), Selvadurai Dinakaran (33) and Govindasamy Vimalkandhan (37), worked at ASL Shipyard and were detained by the Narcotics Department of the Indonesian government, on July 14, 2024 for illegally distributing Class I narcotics in the form of non-plants, such as crystal methamphetamine. They were awarded death penalty by Tanjung Balai Karimun District Court, Indonesia on April 25. Hearing a petition filed by their spouses, a bench of justice Sachin Datta said:'In the meantime, the Indian Consulate in Indonesia is directed to take requisite steps for the purpose of ensuring that the convicted Indian nationals are afforded adequate legal representation, and to render appropriate assistance to them for the purpose of pursuing appellate remedies; facilitate communication between the said convicted individuals and their families in India.' It also directed MEA to pursue the matter at the 'diplomatic level' with the Indonesian government, to ensure protection of the Indian nationals under applicable international conventions or bilateral agreement, if any. The three women approached the court, saying they did not have the resources to appeal against the conviction before the appellate court, as their husbands are the sole breadwinners of the family.
