For the unversed, Debina and Gurmeet fell in love with each other on the sets of the 2008 mythological television series Ramayan, a remake of the classic Ramanand Sagar serial Ramayan broadcast in 1987 on Doordarshan. While Gurmeet played the character of Lord Rama, Debina portrayed the character of Sita in the series that ran for around 18 months. The remake was created by Anand Sagar, Ramanand's son, and aired on the now-defunct NDTV Imagine channel.
The two actors tied the knot in February 2011 and also adopted two girls named Pooja and Lata from Jarampur, Gurmeet’s hometown in Bihar in 2017.
