Roopal Tyagi, the Indian choreographer-turned-actress, recently announced her engagement to Nomish Bhardwaj, sending waves of excitement through her fanbase. Best known for her role as Gunjan in the Zee TV drama series Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, Roopal has been a familiar face on Indian television for over a decade.
Born on October 6, 1989, in Bangalore, Karnataka, Roopal began her journey in the entertainment industry as a choreographer. She honed her dancing skills at Shiamak Davar's dance institute and later assisted Pony Verma, a Bollywood choreographer, on the song "Mere Dholna" from the movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa. This experience led her to Mumbai, where she transitioned into acting.
Roopal's acting career commenced in 2008 with Hamari Betiyoon Ka Vivaah. She then appeared in Ek Nayi Chhoti Si Zindagi before landing her breakthrough role in Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke. Her portrayal of Gunjan made her a household name, earning her accolades such as two Zee Rishtey Awards in 2012.
Beyond acting in daily soaps, Roopal has showcased her versatility by participating in reality shows. She entered Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8 as a wildcard contestant and later appeared on Bigg Boss 9. While she was eliminated early from Bigg Boss 9, the show significantly boosted her popularity.
In addition to her television work, Roopal has been an advocate against body shaming in the industry and has used her platform to express her views on various social issues. She has also been associated with multiple brands and boasts a substantial following on social media.
Roopal's fiancé, Nomish Bhardwaj, works in Los Angeles as a visual-effects and animation professional. According to his IMDb profile, he has contributed to well-known Hollywood projects such as How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Abominable. While details about Nomish are relatively scarce, his Instagram bio suggests he also works as a Pipeline Supervisor. The name Nomish is believed to have Sanskrit roots, derived from Nimesh/Nimesha, which means "a wink," "a moment," or "the twinkling of an eye".
The couple met through mutual friends and instantly felt a connection. In an interview, Roopal shared that she knew from their first meeting that he was the one. Nomish proposed to Roopal in Goa, and she shared photos of the proposal on her Instagram handle, with the caption "Just us… just right! YES.. Forever".
Roopal and Nomish are planning to get married on December 5, 2025, with a reception on December 8, 2025. Roopal envisions a "cute, simple, personalized, and traditional" wedding, emphasizing the importance of rituals and personal touches.
As Roopal embarks on this new chapter, fans and colleagues have showered her with congratulatory messages and best wishes. Her journey from a choreographer to a recognized television actress, and now a bride-to-be, is a testament to her talent, hard work, and unwavering spirit.
