After keeping his personal life a mystery and away from the public gaze, comedian Kapil Sharma introduced his girlfriend to his fans and followers on social media.
A photograph posted on his official Facebook page revealed the news. He captioned the image of himself and her in the frame saying: "Meet my wife. I love her more than Deepika."
However, according to a post on his Twitter account the status of the woman gets confusing.

He tweeted: "Will not say she is my better half...She completes me. Love you Ginni. Please welcome her...I love her so much."
Though, Kapil made it clear that she is not his better half, he wants fans to welcome her as he posted on Twitter that "she completes him".
Here are some of the unknown facts about Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath.
1. They met during their college days in Jalandhar, Punjab. Both of them used to do stand-up comedy. Kapil, in fact, used to help arrange shows for her at college fests. The couple has been together for more than 10 years now.
2. Kapil was always heard telling his friends that Ginni is the kind of girl he would want to marry. While the actor had his share of link-up rumours with co-star Sumona Chakravarti and creative director Preeti Simoes, sources say this gossip never affected Kapil and Ginni’s relationship.
3. The person, happiest with their engagement, is Kapil’s mother. “She had been wanting Kapil to settle down from a long time. She wants to have grandchildren around her. That’s something old people want in the house, so, she is over the moon,” the insider said.

4. Ginni, who is still living in Jalandhar, will handle Kapil’s production house, K9 Productions, after marriage. “When you have a well-educated person in the family, then why not have her say in the business. Ginni will be closely associated with the production house,” the source said.
Kapil and Ginni had appeared on the show Has Baliye. This is where they came close to each other as they were partners. While they failed to win the show, they were appreciated for their performance.
Unlike Kapil, Ginni has stayed away from limelight and works with her father. She is an MBA and has a younger sister. The match has got the blessings of Kapil’s mother too. According to reports, she has refused offers of Punjabi shows and films earlier.
