The couple, who had been friends for long, had quite a filmy beginning to their story. Angad, in fact, revealed to a leading daily that had proposed to his bestie four years ago but she turned down the proposal, only to come around later. In a recent interview, the newlyweds spilled the beans on why their marriage was such a hush-hush affair and going by their words, they had just gone out for an overnight trip and came back married!

"Our intention was not to keep it a secret. We just wanted it to be a private affair. What happens is that, the process of making up our minds, planning the wedding and inviting people is never-ending. When we went to Delhi, we didn't think that we were going to get married. I went in my track pants and T-shirt along with one bag in my hand. We intended to stay overnight and come back. On the way, we discussed how we were going to approach the topic of marriage with her parents. Neha still consults her parents before making major decisions," Angad told the newspaper.

He continued, "I just told them that I wanted to marry their daughter. There was silence for a bit and then her father said that he didn't have a problem, but that I should speak to my parents about it. I have a great equation with her mother and she was fine with it. When I spoke to my father, he said that if I thought I was ready to go ahead, he will support me. Like all mothers, my mom, too, had dreams of a grand wedding for me, but I wanted it to be an intimate affair between the two families. The decision to get married was taken overnight."

Neha, meanwhile, shared with the newspaper that Angad's mother wasn't in favour of their union, until she met the actress two days before the wedding. "Angad didn't propose to me, instead, he went with the rishta to my parents. His mother was not ready to give her nod for the wedding date, till she met me. I met her two days before the wedding and she asked me if I was sure about getting married to him and some other questions, which a to-be mother-in-law would generally ask. As far as his father is concerned, we had got strict instructions from him to keep it low-key or else the press would get a whiff of it and there would be OB vans outside the Gurudwara," quips the actress.

Angad and Neha's pair was made in heaven! The two have been in relationships with other people, but eventually found their way to each other. So much so, that Neha had rejected Angad's marriage proposal four years ago - and look, they are happily married today!
