Alongside the note, Rishab Shetty posted a video montage tracing Pragathi Shetty’s journey — beginning with a childhood photograph and moving through precious family memories.

It was a reminder that behind every celebrated actor is often a partner quietly holding everything together.

Their love story began at a film event, where they first met and gradually grew close. At the time, Pragathi Shetty’s family had concerns about Rishab Shetty’s uncertain career prospects. Yet the couple chose each other, overcoming doubts and marrying in 2017.

Pragathi Shetty, once a software engineer, now works as a costume designer on Rishab Shetty’s films — contributing creatively to his cinematic vision.

Earlier this year, on their ninth wedding anniversary, Rishab Shetty had reflected, “It has been nine years since we tied the knot and nurtured our love into a beautiful marriage. Looking back, every moment spent together is a treasure of sweet memories… an enduring love.”
