Tell us something about how and when did you two meet?

Shaan: We met in 1996 in a club. She had just turned 18.

Radika: The DJ played the ‘Mysterious Girl’ song. Shaan was standing besides the DJ and hi-fived him. I thought he dedicated the song to me.

After that, we bumped into each other many times. And I told him not to stalk me.

Shaan: But we became friends and after about two-and-a-half months. we started dating.

Radhika was an airhostess with Swiss Air then. I had just started out, and had recorded a remix song ‘Parda hai parda’ and had long hair. I remember her grandmother saying, ‘Dekho kalyug aa gaya hai. Ladke lambe baal rakh rahe hai (See, how boys are growing their hair)’. Radhika had short hair then.

What attracted you both to each other?

Shaan: Initially, I was apprehensive about the six-year age difference between us. I thought she would be immature. But what I liked about her was that she never did any nakhras. And I enjoyed pampering her.

Radhika: I never put any pressure on him for flowers or cards or gifts. I don’t like that kind of romance. Shaan pushes me beyond my comfort zone. He gave me the combination of happiness, motivation and respect. That attracted me. You can date someone because he’s good looking, says the right things, is funny and dresses well. Eventually, these things take a backseat. What matters is love, fidelity and the respect the person gives you.

What was your first date like?
