Just like every great Bollywood love story, ours began with a little fate, a little drama, and a whole lot of magic. It all started at a cozy house party in Cincinnati, back when we were wide-eyed Master's students—unaware that a slow-burning friendship was about to change our lives forever. No dramatic violins, no filmi slow-motion glances (well, maybe a few 😄), just two people who kept showing up for each other through assignments, adventures, and adulting. From the lecture halls to the working world, destiny kept us in the same place—through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. We laughed, we struggled, we grew—and somewhere along the way, we realized that the comfort, the chaos, and the companionship we shared… was love. We didn’t fall head over heels in a heartbeat; instead, we built something stronger—with time, trust, and a lot of lungi dance breaks to Rajnikant hits. From wandering the dreamy streets of New York to soaking in Seattle's beaches and mountains, from casino nights in Vegas to simple nights at home, our love story became a perfect mix of filmy fun and real-life forever. And so, we decided to make the biggest decision of our lives—with no grand proposal or over-the-top drama—just the calm, confident joy of knowing: this is it. ❤️
