00:00To be honest, I knew right away he's everything that I wanted in a partner, if not more.

00:11After a couple of weeks of us first meeting up, I knew he was the one.

00:30So, complete opposite ends of London, we were living.

00:41We would have never bumped into each other, we would have never seen each other.

00:49I've never been openly gay until I moved to London.

00:53Tinder definitely made me more aware of the fact that there are a lot more Indian

00:59gay guys out there.

01:13I'm quite shy, but I messaged him first.

01:15It was definitely his pictures.

01:16There was something very enduring about his eyes.

01:19For me, it was more his bio.

01:21And some of his pictures were very jokey, funny pictures.

01:24Because I had done a lot of online dating, I was one of those people that within about

01:29two weeks, I like to meet someone.

01:31I'm more of a face-to-face person.

01:41Which is a risk, I think, because if you don't like the person, you have to go home

01:45before 12 o'clock by yourself.

01:47Meeting him on the first date sealed the deal for me because I knew that he was going to

01:52be my husband.

02:00I consider his parents like my parents, especially with Rahul's dad, like I adore him, like he's

02:06like my favourite.

02:07Sushant's dad always says, you are the son that I never had.

02:10And my dad always says, Sushant is the son that he never had.

02:14And all of us together is like a madhouse.

02:29I'm very Gujarati in terms of like, I don't want too much fuss.

02:42I don't want anything too big, nice and simple, intimate.

02:45And Sushant wants like the big fat Punjabi wedding.

02:48Punjabis are a bit more like, you know, dekha jayega, like, you know, abhi shaadi bhi dekhte

02:53hain, gujarati like, no, okay, shaadi bhi, but aage kya bhi sochna, you know.

02:57Rahul is an expert in planning things and like, you know, has Excel sheets and everything.

03:07I don't know how people used to do it back in the day when there was no technology.

03:10If it wasn't for Tinder, 100% we wouldn't have met.
