There’s no three-year itch: Dipannita Sharma

It’s been three years since model Dipannita Sharma tied the knot with businessman Dilser Singh Atwal and she still maintains her position as one of the top models in the country. She reveals that marriage didn’t interfere with her work at any point of time.

“When I decided to get married, I was very aware of what I was getting myself into. My husband is a third generation businessman and they are into the family business of mining. When we decided to get married, we knew that nothing is going to change on the work front and that is still how it is,” says the Assamese model and former beauty queen.

Ask Sharma if the three years of marriage has ever resulted in the now famous three-year-itch and she laughs out loud. “No! On the contrary I would never have imagined that three years would pass off so quickly. Trust me, I just celebrated my marriage anniversary and it still feels like I got married just last year. The three-year-itch hasn’t gotten to me yet,” says the actress who made her Bollywood debut with Koi Aap Sa in 2005.

Quiz her about starting a family and Sharma says that it will happen when the time is right. “I guess starting a family is a  decision that we both will take at the right point of time. Not to have kids now was a decision that we both took consciously. We both are of the opinion that we should take a few more holidays and finish off other responsibilities before stepping into the world of parenthood. We still have a lot of time on hand,” she says candidly.

On the professional front, she has signed up for a couple of leading brands and with the fashion events increasing manifold, she says that her diary is full. “Besides, we are also talking about a Bollywood movie, but I can’t divulge more now. But yes, apart from being a brand ambassador for a few leading brands, I have a lot of comparatively smaller projects in hand too. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t have time for my family. It is a fine balance that we (women) all learn to make with elan at some point of our lives,” she concludes.
