Dipika was previously married to pilot Raunak Samson. She met Raunak while she was an air hostess and tied the knot with him. The two ended their 5-year-old marriage, owing to personal and compatibility issues while some say Dipika's whirlwind affair with her then boyfriend and co-star, Shoaib Ibrahim was the reason behind her wedding falling apart.
