Little did I know that Sunita was the one all along we started dating organically. It's not like in the moviesI didn't ask her to be my girlfriendwe both just knew.
She was from a liberal familya banker's daughter with a modelling career & I was bekaar! She didn't care who I was or what my profession is - none of it mattered! I lived in Chembur & she lived on Nepeansea road it took me an hour to reach by bus. She would start screaming, No come fast by cab!' & I'd say Arrey I don't have money' then she'd say Just come na' & pay for my cab!
We dated for 10 yearswe travelled and grew together. She was always clear that she won't enter the kitchen. If I said cook' I'd get a kick! I knew I needed to become something before asking her to marry me. I went through the struggle of not getting work, but she supported me unconditionally.
So when I got my first break, Meri Jung' I thought, now house will come, kitchen will come, help will come...I can get married! So I called Sunita & said, Let's get married tomorrow it's tomorrow or never' & the next day, we were married!
I went for shoot 3 days later & madam went abroad on our honeymoon...without me!
Honestly, she knows me better than I know me. We've built our life; our home together. We've raised 3 kids & been through ups and downs. But I feel like we're finally dating now romantic walks & dinners have just begun!
We've been together 45 years45 years of friendship, love & companionship. They don't make people like her anymore. She's the perfect mother, perfect wife & the reason I wake up every morning, motivated. You know why? When I ask her, Arrey, yesterday only I gave you so much money' she says, Woh sab khatam ho gaya...it's all finished!' and I jump out of bed & run to work!
