00:00Savio, you are my life, you are my heart, and I need you a lot.
00:11We got comments like, he smells something about cows, and there's a lot of, you know,
00:32why are you race mixing?
00:46Even our first date, you know, we didn't even kiss, which is, for me and my culture, it's
00:54usually expected, I guess.
00:58I had been on a few dates before meeting her, and I had an insecurity, like, I still have
01:05an accent, I have an accent, and I was so insecure about myself, and she did not make
01:12me feel that way.
01:14No!
01:15Help!
01:16She's killing me!
01:26My dad, he is from Kerala, he had this orthodox thinking, and he was like, at that point of
01:36time, he was also aggressively searching for a Malayali girl for me.
01:42I didn't know how he would take the news that, you know, I'm in love with this Caucasian
01:47woman, and I was really, really worried that he would disown me.
01:52I tried to understand that, but it still was very hard for me to fully understand, because
01:58I just kind of felt like he was hiding me, you know, something like that.
02:12Are you happy?
02:13If you are happy, I'm happy.
02:14Testing.
02:15Testing.
02:16Testicles.
02:17Not funny anymore.
02:18Why don't you guys stick to your own cultures and your own race?
02:43She just assumes that, you know, I married her for getting green card.
02:47Yeah, we get that comment constantly.
02:48At the end of the day, like, we just know that we love each other, and our love is just
02:53stronger than those, like, hateful comments, you know?
03:04I absolutely had no idea.
03:07I was completely in the dark.
03:09I'm a dancer myself.
03:11Like, I like to dance a lot, so I just want to do it.
03:15I know, like, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this is my opportunity to
03:20do it.
03:40My heart just melted right away, so I just couldn't, like, hold back my feelings.
04:10She loves Indian food.
04:20I can't handle too much spice, though, so we do kind of need to tone it down a little
04:27bit.
04:28I think my tolerance is getting better.
04:32When I get sick, I do things that she doesn't understand, you know, and then she's like,
04:41what are you doing?
04:42And for example, like, the steam inhalation.
04:45Seeing how the household is run in India, we don't live with our parents, you know?
04:51Here, husbands and wives are pretty equal.
04:54They know I'm not doing the dishes.
04:56You're helping me with the dishes, you know?
04:57So we've kind of had to navigate through that as well, and we just work together.
