When she was performing dance in the year 2020 at Sripur where Lakshman Sharma had come and he liked Priyanka Dewar. Kaushlaya further said that wherever Priyanka Dewar went to perform, Laksham Sharma reached there and one day Lakshaman Sharma proposed Priyanka Dewar and exchanged mobile numbers. They talked on mobile for about a year and later tied nuptial knot in the year 2022 and both were very happy with the marriage though the family members were against it and they told that he had married a dancer and so never come home with her. Priyanka Dewar was very sad about it. Whenever she asked Lakkshman to take her home, Lakshman Sharma made one or another excuses though he had taken her to his sister once.
