During the fall of 2016 they met in Charlotte, North Carolina while Neelam was in medical school. She was stressed out with school while Keval was still in the early stages of his career. Neelam fell in love with Keval's calm-cool demeanor while Keval quickly became fond of Neelam's vibrant quirky ways along with her signature bubbly laugh. During the beginning of 2018 they anxiously awaited Neelam’s residency match results. To their joy, Neelam was chosen by Atrium Health in Charlotte and no uprooting to an unfamiliar city was needed. In May of 2019 they decided to plan a vacation to Spain. Little did Neelam know that Keval would propose on this trip asking her to become his wife.
