We contacted Srikant Maski, and he confirmed the news and said, "Yes I got married yesterday and it was a Love- Arranged marriage."

Speaking about his tale of love, Srikant said, "We met through a common friend, nine months ago, after which we started chatting through a social networking site. We both got along very well and when we wanted to take it to the next level, I told my parents about her. And as per the tradition, they went to her parents with the proposal and all got fixed up in December and decided to get wed in April. The ceremony was yesterday and it was in the typical religious manner."
