00:00I swear I met Raghav and in five minutes I knew I'm going to marry this man.
00:04I didn't even know if he was married, if he had children.
00:07We never even had an official dating period.
00:10We started talking and over the next few days, we realized that this is it.
00:14How did you guys meet?
00:17How did it start?
00:20Who made you meet?
00:23Actually, a British council gave us an award in the UK where there were outstanding achievers
00:35of everybody who's been a UK student.
00:39So I got outstanding achievers in entertainment, outstanding achievement in government and
00:44politics, Raghav got it.
00:46And we ended up meeting at that event and usually I say hi and I will move on.
00:51But we just said, let's meet for breakfast and we met at breakfast the next day and I
01:00had no idea who he was or what he did.
01:03I had no idea because I used to not follow politics at all.
01:06So literally after that breakfast, I went to the room and I googled who he was.
01:11I used to think that he has a job in politics, that's all I knew, you know, like there's a job,
01:17he does something in politics, you know, he's a politician, that's all I knew.
01:21I googled him and I saw the work that he did.
01:24We started talking to each other and we realized, not even in weeks, within days, we just used
01:33to talk about getting married.
01:34Who was the flirty one between you, who started it?
01:39It me.
01:40I'm telling you, my mom always used to tell me this story that when your life partner
01:46will come in front of you, you will know.
01:49And I said, please don't tell me these filmy lines, there's no such thing that suddenly,
01:53you know, like we say in films, violence starts playing out.
01:57I swear I met Raghav and in five minutes, I knew I'm going to marry this man.
02:01What are you saying?
02:02Really?
02:03I swear.
02:04How?
02:05I didn't know if he was married, if he had children, how old he was, what he does, nothing.
02:10What kind of politician?
02:11He is nothing.
02:12He just sat for breakfast in front of me.
02:14We all are talking about meditation, scuba diving.
02:17And I'm looking at this man and I'm saying, I think I'm going to marry this man.
02:21I just, it was, I don't know, some God's voice inside me.
02:26And then we started talking.
02:27We were not even friends at that time.
02:29We started talking and over the next few days, we realized that this is it.
02:34Few days?
02:35Few days.
02:36You started dating after few days?
02:38We never even had an official dating period because while we were dating, so to say, we
02:45were actually just planning to get married.
02:47We just used to talk about, when are you meeting my family?
02:50When am I meeting your family?
02:52When should we do this?
02:53When should we get married?
02:54It was just like a done thing.
02:56He never proposed you?
02:57There was no discussion.
02:58He did.
02:59Okay.
03:00Officially, it happened later.
03:01But it was...
03:02Who slipped the conversation for the first time?
03:03Tell me how it happened.
03:05There was no slipping.
03:06It was, within a few days, I was just like...
03:09He must have said that for the first time, let's get married.
03:11I think you're the right partner.
03:12I think I see my husband or wife in you.
03:14Never.
03:15It never happened.
03:16You know, we just started talking to each other.
03:17Of course, feelings developed and all of that happened.
03:21And then we just used to say, okay, so like, when are we going to get married?
03:26Like we are going to live our lives together.
03:28Like what about children?
03:29What about family?
03:30What are your family values?
03:31In that interview phase, when you're finding out, it was always that we will marry each
03:38other.
03:39Now let's just learn about each other.
03:40It was just...
03:42There was never officially like, okay, from today, we are girlfriend and boyfriend.
03:46And now, tomorrow onwards, our relationship starts.
03:49That never happened.
03:50It just flowed.
