In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Prateik revealed that the kiss made everything clear, and he knew he had found something real and lasting. He said, “Divine timing and it just happened, I wasn’t looking for it and neither she we meet, we were meant to meet in this phase of life. I don’t think it would have worked out if we would have met before. She had just broken off her engagement and I was going through a divorce. We happened to meet during lockdown.”

He further added, “We followed each other back on Instagram and for the first few months we didn’t really strike up a conversation, just comment or fire here and there. Finally, I had the courage to reply to her story and we ended up striking a conversation. Next thing I know I asked her for a drive, then we were going for a drive, and we are meeting every day rest is history.”

“As cheesy as it may sound, our first kiss was it. I was like this is trouble, this is it, game over. Our first kiss and this feels like trouble. We started dating and then we started living together. I knew it was special and this was nothing that I have experienced before in any relationship,” concluding on how she knew she was the one to spend his entire life with.
