Shripad and Tarannum lived opposite each other in Avadhut Colony in Gargoti and had been in a relationship, according to a report by ABP Marathi. Tarannum was pursuing engineering studies at a college in Mahagaon. However, after her marriage was arranged, she reportedly told Shripad that they could no longer continue their relationship.
