They met as strangers on the sets of a show. Sanaya's first show as lead, Mohit's first show as an actor. Love at first sight? Far from it! When they first met, they both remember how they laughed for almost half an hour looking at each other, without saying a word!
After that, though, it took a while for the ice to crack. They remember that they barely spoke to each other the first couple of months. He thought she was too free with her words and laughter, she thought he was too quiet and serious. And then things started to change.
Onscreen, their love story was a love story of two opposite people. He played the loud, brash Casanova of the college, everyone's best friend, the darling of the college, while she was the shy, reserved nerdy girl with glasses, with no friends except her sister. Off screen, they were opposites too, but with the roles reversed. Sanaya was the boisterous, bindaas confident Parsi girl with the ability to laugh at everything, most of all herself, while Mohit was quiet, reserved, somewhat out of his element at first in a strange city. She was friendly with everyone, from co-actors to spotboys to production assistants to the stray animals on the sets, while he took time to make friends. But as they worked together, under the superficial differences, they found much in common. And as the love story between two opposites progressed on screen, alongside progressed in tandem, the off screen love story, following the same path ... from the first tentative friendship between two very different people, to a deeper closer friendship, to the stirrings of love. Rumours surfaced often from the sets about their growing closeness, and fans of the show watched keenly for signs to substantiate them. And finally, on the last day of the shoot of MJHT, Sanaya and Mohit confessed to their delighted fans that they were in love, they were indeed a couple'
It's been five years since then. Five years of a long, steady, stable relationship, which has only grown closer, deeper and stronger over the years. In the glamourous, often superficial world of television, where linkups and breakups are common, Sanaya and Mohit have been rock steady in their relationship. Over the years, they have faced the ups and downs in their lives together, hand in hand, always there for each other, to cheer together the highs, and hold hands through the lows. On the surface they are chalk and cheese ... she bright, bubbly, talkative, he quiet, calm, grounded. But under the surface, they have all the important things in common. Her purity of heart, her love and zest for life, her warm and caring nature matched by his goodness of heart and his quiet calmness. Mohit grounds Sanaya's exuberance, while his rock solid love gives her the wings to fly high. Sanaya's bubbliness and craziness lightens his more serious nature and brings fun and laughter into his life. They are both serious about things that matter, they both are family oriented, and very caring and warm hearted. The most beautiful thing about this couple is the deep respect, trust and honesty that underlies their relationship. Together they make the perfect couple ... made for each other ... Sanaya and Mohit.
Now together they now prepare to start the next phase of their journey ... from friends ... to lovers ... to life partnersAnd they enter this new phase of their journey with love pouring in from hundreds and thousands of fans all over the world, and all good wishes for a long, happy and wonderful married life, filled with love, laughter, togetherness and happiness always.
