Remember the handsome guy with dimples from Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding and the demure beauty from Mohabbatein? For actor-couple Pravin Dabas and Preeti Jhangiani, theirs is indeed a filmi story as it began on the sets of With Love Tumhara (2006).
“We had met once before that in 2004 at Dabboo Ratnani’s wedding. I was having a drink, and from far I saw Preeti waving out. I had never met her before, and assumed it wasn’t for me. I looked behind to see who she was waving at and there was a wall, and I was like ‘oh shit!’ When I looked back, she was gone. She probably thought I was rude,” reminisces Pravin, 45. “Actually, I had presumed that we have met before because he was a familiar face,” Preeti chips in her side of the story. “Or she was just dying to wave at me,” Pravin chuckles, concluding the anecdote with this funny comeback and giving us a peek into their daily banter.
Sparks did not fly while shooting for WLT, as both of them, being quiet and private, only concentrated on their roles. “We actually got friendly during the film promotions and started dating, and here we are, two kids down,” adds Preeti, 39.
