How Shalini got married

In the interview, when Shalini was asked about the story of her marriage, she said, “I was at my friend’s sister’s wedding when these couple of girls approached me saying, ‘Are you married?’ ‘Are your parents coming to the mehendi ceremony?’ I said, ‘No, my parents will come in the evening.’ So they went back and told their mom that we found the perfect girl for Sanjay bhaiya. Then in the evening my husband’s family came to meet us. It was an arranged marriage but… my husband is my universe.”

When Shalini met Sanjay

When asked when she first met Sanjay, she said, “They came to the wedding. They gatecrashed my friend’s wedding to come and see me. I had told them that I wanted someone who does not drink, smoke, or gamble because I don’t do the same. I want somebody who is on the same wavelength. It was really wonderful to be with Sanjay, to meet him and his family. They are just amazing people.”
