Hindustan Times quoted her saying,
“I was averse to the idea of being with anyone when I met him. Yet, I felt this was something different because I had never met someone like him. I felt this is my kind of human being. He is like me in many ways in thoughts, behaviour, history and characteristics. So, I knew we would have a great friendship. We didn’t have a courtship. I met him, we hit it off and he didn’t think he would propose to someone, marriage was not on his mind. When he asked me, it wasn’t planned. It was in a flow and after meeting me, in literally over a month, he proposed to me. There were no second thoughts.”

She recalled,
“Especially during the lockdown, I was seeing life from a different perspective. I wasn’t looking for love and when I met him, it wasn’t like I had butterflies in my stomach instead it was more that I met my human. I could connect to him, he can handle me, understand and take care of me, love me, and be my best friend. It is a little unbelievable when people hear our story. Our families know that this was meant to be.”
She added that their bond has strengthened after the engagement saying,
“I had to go to Pune right after he proposed and I got to know much better over the phone than meeting. I had a deeper understanding of life during the pandemic. What got further emphasis is that time with family and loved ones matters the most. To meet a man who believed the same, made me think he is my kind of person. I can be a goofball with him and also find the maturity and balance in the relationship. The age difference isn’t much and it doesn’t bother me.”
