However, reaching the stage of marriage was not an easy road for the couple. So, when Alka Yagnik told her parents about her relationship with Neeraj, they did not want her to marry him. Since Neeraj Kapoor was a Shillong-based businessman, her parents believed that the long-distance relationship between the two could become a major problem in their married life. However, Alka did not lose faith and remained confident, as Neeraj had decided to shift his base to Mumbai.

When they got married, Neeraj moved to mumbai and started his own business. According to reports, he suffered huge losses at that place. In an old interview, Alka had revealed that she herself had asked Neeraj to shift back to Shillong and continue his business. After four-five years of their marriage, the two reportedly went through a tough phase in their married life, but both realised that they cannot live without each other.
