Before we tell you how crazy these guys are about each other, we just wanted to share a bit about their cutesy love story too. Raqesh and Ridhi came together for the serial Maryada- Lekin Kab Tak and soon their fans began talking about them. Despite all the attention they were enjoying, love didn’t happen for these buddies.
Recalling their first meeting, how it turned it out to be and how Rakesh finally proposed, Ridhi has a lot to say about it. In one of the interviews, Ridhi shared,
"Ours was the classic case of 'we were meant to be together', both of us individually didn't want to get married. Everyone had given up on me and him in our families. When we met on Maryada we ourselves felt an instant ease and comfort with each other. Our first scene was an intimate scene on a bed, and we broke the bed! We laughed it off and became really good friends, more like buddies. Even the proposal was a conversation, it just seemed like it's happening to us and we are flowing with it. We really believe god wanted us to be together. He's got some plan for us.”
Finally, on May 29, 2011, the lovebirds Raqesh and Ridhi walked down the aisle and their wedding was a lavish affair. Now let's go back to Raqesh and Ridhi's Instagram posts that are high on PDA and scream how crazy they are about each other despite 7 years of marriage. From their birthdays to anniversaries, from hanging out with friends to special dates, Ridhi and Raqesh surely know how to keep their romance alive.
On Ridhi's birthday, Raqesh posted a beautiful collage of her pictures and captioned it with the sweetest message. Here’s the picture he posted:
And the caption is all about love, and only love.
“You're beautiful. You're a fighter.
Yes, you can break the norm.
You have the fire and you are the storm.
You're powerful and capable and brave and enviable. You're elegant and bold.
You are fearless and motivated and you don't need to be told.
Yet you are what holds you back and you're the change you have been waiting for so long.
You are limited by your dreams and very very strong.
You are at the end of the tunnel and you are the light.
You are just a free bird waiting to take flight.
So just go out there and write your own story, for you there is no unachievable feat.
For It's time you rise and grab the driving seat.
Happy birthday sweetheart”

They look super-cute together and their love is so pure and pristine, isn't it? And if you are wondering how, check out what Raqesh said in an interview:
“We are great buddies off-screen; I think friendship is the basic foundation of our relationship. Initially, there was no courtship happening, it’s slowly when I realised it. I used to talk about Ridhi with my sister, she said you are of a marriageable age and you have to get married someday so why don’t you talk to Ridhi. I said are you mad or what? But then I understood she was right. We took a step ahead and finally we got married when we thought it was the right time to take to the next step of life. It was a straight wedding without engagement."
