Our Love Story

"Pyar dosti hai."
They said it in a movie, but we lived it in real life.

We started as friends—just two people who laughed a little too hard, talked a little too long, and always showed up for each other. Back then, we didn’t know what it was. But looking back now, we realize: love was there all along. It wasn’t in grand gestures—it was in the way we understood each other's silences, the way we just fit without trying. We grew up side by side, and somewhere between the jokes, the glances, and the late-night talks... we became soulmates.

Like Rahul and Anjali, we didn’t fall in love. We grew into it. And that’s the most beautiful kind of love there is.
-Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
