Tara Sharma got married to a film producer Roopak Saluja in November 2007, and is a mother of two sons; Zen and Kai.

At the event, Abhishek Bachchan interacted with his fans and said, “I don’t run a lot because of certain injuries during my school years when I was into sports. I do run a bit. I have always been envious of marathon runners because I can’t run long distances. I have always run shorter distances but running is very therapeutic.”

Abhishek Bachchan even did an impromptu jig with RJ Malishka and Tara Sharma on one of his songs. Also spotted at the event was health guru Mickey Mehta.

The DNA I Can Women’s Half Marathon 2014 was divided into three diverse events, namely, Half Marathon of 21 kilometer, Spirit Run of 10 kilometer and the Fun Run of 5 kilometer, which has seen enthusiastic entries from thousands of Mumbai women.
