Shweta Kawatra Manav (Kohli) and I met on the sets of Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki. We were friends for a long time until we realised we were in love. On our first date, we went to watch Lagaan. We travelled on his bike, and got drenched in the rain. We knew that if we entered the air-conditioned hall in that condition, we would catch a cold. So, we brought a bottle of brandy, smuggled it into the theatre, emptied our coffee cups and finished a quarter of brandy straight. By the time the film reached its climax, we were drunk, shouting excitedly! We share a bindaas relationship. We have passed the stage of getting possessive about each other. It's okay to be possessive as long as you don't suffocate the other person.
We married the traditional way. I went to Baroda to meet his folks. His aunts were apprehensive about me as they were carried away by my image of Pallavi (in Kahani). They actually told me not to do what I did onscreen.
