HOW WE MET
“We first met at my sister’s wedding, where Vishal was filming the event. At first, I thought his many questions were simply for the wedding film, but I quickly realised he was genuinely interested in getting to know me. There was an effortless connection between us—I felt so at ease in his presence, and by the end of the wedding, I found myself longing to spend more time with him. The wedding was a beautiful backdrop not just for my sister’s love story but for what would become the beginning of ours.”
THE NEXT STEP
“Although the distance made it difficult, we always found a way to make it work. After my first visit to Mumbai, it became clear that what we had was truly special. We both invested our time and energy into nurturing our relationship, and marriage felt like the natural progression. Vishal then surprised me with the most heartfelt, spiritual proposal, more beautiful than I could have imagined.”
