Divyanka Tripathi tells Ruhaanika Dhawan: You taught me how to be a mommy
Mumbai, July 21
Television actress Divyanka Tripathi has credited her onscreen daughter Ruhaanika Dhawan for teaching her how to be a "mommy" in real life.
Ruhaanika shared a picture with Divyanka along with her husband Vivek Dahiya and newborn twins.
Ruhaanika, who worked with the popular television actress in the show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, wrote: "From playing her little one to holding my Ishima's little ones... life really has come full circle."
She added: "I guess I can officially say she's blessed with three kids now. And the twins couldn't have asked for a cooler set of parents @divyankatripathidahiya @vivekdahiya."
Divyanka took to the comment section and wrote: "You taught me how to be a mommy Ruh! Now these tiny ones have so much to learn from their Ruh dee."
Yeh Hai Mohabatein was one of the longest running Indian television soap opera. The series starred Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, Karan Patel, Ruhaanika Dhawan, and Aditi Bhatia. The story was initially based on Manju Kapur's 2011 novel Custody, with Yeh Hai Mohabbatein continuing beyond Custody's story in later episodes.
Divyanka and Vivek in May announced on social media that they have welcomed two baby boys.
Vivek wrote on Instagram: "The wait is finally over... 'The Boys' are here and life already feels more beautiful than we ever imagined. Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye! Need all your love and blessings as Div and I begin this incredible new chapter of parenthood. #Divek #babyboys #DivekBabies #twins #newparents"
The announcement post read, "We asked for happiness...God said, 'Take double.' Blessed with twin baby boys."
It was on Gudi Padwa in March, when the TV star couple announced that they are all set to become parents. Divyanka and Vivek's love story kick-started on the sets of their show "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein". Before getting married in Bhopal in 2016, the couple got engaged in January.
The actress became a household name for playing Vidya Pratapsingh and Divya Shukla in Banoo Main Teri Dulhann and Dr. Ishita Bhalla in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.
She had participated in the dance reality show Nach Baliye 8 and emerged as the winner. In 2021, she participated at Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 as a contestant, where she emerged as the runner-up.

It's so heartwarming to see that their on-screen bond translated into real-life affection. Divyanka's comment "You taught me how to be a mommy" really got me emotional. I know celebrities often have PR-managed friendships, but this feels genuine. Also, "Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye" by Vivek—that's such a classic Bollywood dad line! 😂 To all the new parents out there, congratulations and God bless the twins!
I never watched Yeh Hai Mohabbatein but I have seen Divyanka on Khatron Ke Khiladi and she is incredibly tough. Seeing her now becoming a mother of twins is amazing. I just hope that she doesn't get typecast only in saas-bahu roles. She has proved her versatility in reality shows. Ruhaanika is also growing up so fast, feels like yesterday she was that cute little Ruhi on screen. Time flies!
This is such a beautiful example of how art imitates life. Divyanka and Vivek's love story beginning on the sets of the show, and now they have their own little family. It makes you believe in destiny a little bit. The way Ruhaanika wrote "from playing her little one to holding my Ishima's little ones" is just poetry. Wishing them all the happiness in the world. But also, I can't help but wonder—Divyanka said Ruhaanika taught her to be a mommy. Isn't it ironic that a child taught an adult about motherhood? Truly special.
I'm a little skeptical about these celebrity posts. I understand it's a happy moment, but sometimes it feels like everything is staged for social media engagement. Still, if this is genuine, then congratulations to both of them. Dr. Ishita was my favorite TV character growing up. I just hope the twins are kept
