I want to experience my life partner’s culture. That’s why I am here.”
He added, “I hope I don’t make any mistakes. And we have been talking about their culture, Manipuri culture and all that for a long time. I am looking forward to it and hope that all goes well. I am praying for our happy future and lots of kids and lots of abundance. Yes, it’s east meets west. It’s like a traditional or cultural exchange. We have been friends for a very long time. We met when we were in the theatres. Since then, we have had a great friendship, which we are now making into a family.”

Recounting their initial connection, she expressed, “We actually met at Naseeruddin Shah’s theatre group called Motley and he was my senior. That’s where I met him.
