When you truly someone the best thing to do is to express it. And television actor Rajev Paul has done just that. He recently threw a surprise party to his wife and actress Delnaz Paul for their 10th wedding anniversary. "It came as a pleasant surprise for me. I know my husband loves me a lot, but I didn't expected such a beautiful gesture," says Delnaz. Rajev had organised a surprise party at Club Link in Andheri.

"I got call from Club Link for a sea-food festival and they wanted me and Rajev to attend it. When I asked Rajev, he didn't seem interested and hence, nor was I. But they kept calling me to confirm and finally I had to agree. I also convinced Rajev to come with me," she says.

When Delnaz arrived at the venue, she found that the place was dark and Rajev had disappeared. "Soon he arrived with a bouquet of ten roses. I realised he wanted to surprise me and I was really happy. But that wasn't all. Rajev had decorated the place with red and white balloons, and then he organised the screening of a short film. I had tears in my eyes I saw the effort he had taken. I felt guilty as I had doubted his intentions when he used to come home late and then talk on the phone in a different room. Rajev would never lie, but for last two months he wasn't talking to me properly. I started suspecting him yet I knew that if anything was really wrong he would tell me," she says.

The couple had Rajev's made-to-order cake and celebrated over champagne. "Rajev's such a romantic. He had kept a diamond ring at the bottom of the glass. I thought that all the surprises are finally over. But then he took me to a separate room, where he had arranged for a lovely candle-light dinner. It was just the two of us, and he had ordered sea food from my favourite Mahesh Lunch Home. I shall always remember this gesture," she says.
