They were in five years relationship before getting married to each other in 1978. In an interview with a media house, Dattaraj Salgaocar stated that his marriage with Deepti was not the amalgamation of two big business families. He stated,
Actually, it wasn’t, because we had a love marriage. I was in Mumbai to study, and lived at Usha Kiran building where the Ambanis also lived. Mukesh and I are the same age and we were good friends. So was Anil, who is two years younger than us. I met Dipti, we fell in love and told our families, who agreed immediately. It was the first wedding in her family, but the last wedding in mine, because I am the youngest of seven children.”
She further remembered the days when she got married to Dattaraj and shifted to Goa. She said that she was feeling lonely in Goa, and her father gifted her a fax machine so that he could talk to her daily through fax messages. She added that she used to watch the CNN channel the whole day to kill the boredom. She said,
When I got married in 1983, there was nothing in Goa, and I remember cribbing to my dad about it. And he would say to just do whatever it takes to change it. At that time, we had nothing here, so he installed a huge satellite dish because we had to watch CNN. He gifted me a fax machine and he used to send me faxes every day. Even for my kids, ever since they were two years old, my father would communicate with them via fax. And those were the days when there were no fax machines in Goa at all.”
- In her leisure time, Deepti Salgaocar likes reading books, gardening, and cooking food.
