We are six months into the marriage and I can firmly attest to the fact that even in an arranged set-up, one can find love in the most unexpected ways – just the way I did. 

Cheryl and I had secretly been dating since the first year of Law college in Bangalore. But because she is Chinese and I am a Marathi Brahmin, we both knew that there was no way on earth that our parents would allow us to get married.

For those of you who think it’s like a Tinder date set up by parents - that’s not true. They can be like sexless Bollywood films, of which the directors are your parents - except that it is not a film, it’s real life.
