HOW THEY MET
"We met back in 2017 when Tanya lived in Mumbai, and I was making a short film. She was there for modelling opportunities, and I was looking to cast. A friend had suggested that I meet her, and it kicked off from there. Our parents were friends, as well, and that certainly facilitated things even further. She moved to Singapore in 2019, but we continued to be in touch. After a while, we had both reached that point in life where we were looking to find something permanent. She was 30, and I was 35. After we talked about it, she moved in with me in March 2023, and here we are together, all set to begin a new special journey."
THE NEXT STEP
"When you make a massive decision like getting engaged and married, there's always an associated leap of faith. Besides being a matter of the heart, there's also a lot of practicality involved. Both of us found in each other a partner who was caring, supportive and non-intrusive, it always felt very lived-in even when we were friends. As a single child, I tend to get irritated at times if I don't have my space. But Tanya makes me feel like a better, much evolved person; she brings out the best in me. So it was a no-brainer."
