At
18,
Nakuul
Knew
He
Wanted
To
Marry
Jankee
Talking
about
how
he
first
met
Jankee,
Nakuul
said,
"My
first
thought
when
I
saw
Jankee
was,
‘How
amazing
would
life
be,
if
she
agreed
to
marry
me.'
I
was
only
18
but
my
instincts
told
me,
she
was
the
one.
We
were
both
training
with
Shiamak-I
saw
her
there
for
the
first
time.
I
was
also
interning
at
BSE
&
remember
travelling
from
there
to
Andheri,
strategizing
an
opening
line."

It
Took
Him
2
Months
To
Get
Her
Number
After
gathering
the
courage
to
talk
to
Jankee
and
ask
her
name,
it
took
Nakuul
2
months
to
finally
ask
her
contact
number.
They
spoke
for
6
months
in
a
row.
One
fine
day,
Nakuul
decided
to
go
to
her
house
with
a
bouquet
and
card.
But,
when
he
asked
her
out,
she
said
she
would
call
him.
Later,
over
the
phone,
Jankee
told
Nakuul,
"I
don't
see
you
like
that."
When
Jankee
Finally
Liked
Him!
After
Jankee's
rejection,
Nakuul
took
off
to
the
US.
It
was
then
that
she
stared
missing
him.
Once
he
returned
to
India,
they
planned
a
movie
date.
They
went
to
watch
Devdas,
and
it
was
then
that
Jankee
told
Nakuul,
"I
like
you
too." Nakuul
said,
"I
made
her
wait
for
10
seconds
before
saying,
‘Yes'!
We
dated
for
9
years
after-I'd
have
married
her
at
18
but
it
was
a
tough
one!"
The
Dream
Proposal
When
asked
about
how
Nakuul
finally
proposed
to
her
for
marriage,
he
said,
"Finally,
I
spoke
to
her
parents
until
they
were
convinced.
Then
at
2
am,
I
proposed
to
her
on
Marine
Drive
with
a
5
page
poem
I'd
written-thankfully
she
said
‘yes' before
the
cops
came
after
us!"
'She's
Been
My
Rock'
"When
we
got
married,
I
didn't
even
have
a
job,
but
she
had
blind
faith
in
me.
She
helped
me
become
the
best
version
of
myself.
That's
what
love
is-relentless
&
unconditional.
She's
been
my
rock.
And
now
that
I
have
the
career
I've
always
wanted,
none
of
it
matters
more
than
her.
Till
today,
my
biggest
accomplishment
is
that
she
agreed
to
marry
me!",
Nakuul
said.
