Our entire life, we frantically keep looking for our soulmate, the perfect person to fall madly in love with. The one person who'll become our partner for life. And so desperate to fall in love, we often seem to find no luck when we put ourselves out there in search of our soulmate. Because destiny, if you may, have other plans for us. And when it does make you fall in love, you also start loving the ‘unplanned’ life of yours. Something similar happened with Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi, which made us believe that some love stories are just meant to be.

In a piece for Humans Of Bombay, Neha made interesting revelations about her love story and unplanned journey with Angad. Did you know, Angad saw Neha for the first time when she was 20 years old? Neha shared, “He tells me that he 1st saw me at the gym when I was 20 & told his friends, ‘I’m going to get to know her 1 day.’”
Sharing different facets of their relationship and how Angad stood with her through thick and thin, Neha stated, “When we moved to Bombay, we met at a mutual friend’s party–it was just us standing in the balcony. I saw a different side of him–beyond the jokes & wit, there was a sensitive man. We were both away from home in Mumbai, so I always relied on him for support. He lived a bachelor life & the 1 place he could always get home food was mine. We became close friends–there was no façade & no attempt to impress one another. Well, no attempts on my part! In fact, he was the 1st call after a major heartbreak & he talked me through it–I’m sure there was a hidden motive!”
Reminiscing how after their shoot, Angad flew down to her parents’ doorstep and asked for her hand in marriage, Neha recalled, “He wasn’t low key about his feelings for me. I was shooting in Punjab & told him about a role for him. He didn’t ask for any details. He only cared about spending time with me & flew down immediately. After that shoot, he showed up at my parents’ doorstep & asked for my hand in marriage….I had no idea about it! This was when I was dating someone else! When Angad met my boyfriend, he was nice to him, but wasn’t subtle about his love for me!”
Further revealing their love story full of twists and turns, and how Angad decided to marry Neha in two days, Neha went on to say, “Finally, at a party, Karan Johar took us aside & screamed, ‘Can you not see this?! Are you blind?’ You should’ve seen the look on Angad’s face. He had ‘I told you so!’ tattooed on his forehead. When we finally decided to get married, he didn’t go down on one knee & propose. He told me I’d already wasted 4 years & declared ‘Chalo Dilli!’ to meet his parents. Then he said, ‘Before you change your mind, pick an outfit because we’re getting married in 2 days!’ Earlier, I loved the set life. I wouldn’t give it up for anything. But now I look forward to coming home to him. I couldn’t imagine myself as someone who runs to the door, but when it’s time for him to come home, guess what I do?” (Also Read: Angad Bedi Holds Pregnant Neha Dhupia's Hands And Safely Escorts Her Out Of Their Dinner Date)
Neha finally after seeing things falling into place, she now feels it is better to keep things unplanned, from wedding to baby. The 38-year-old actress was quoted as saying, “He’s currently shooting both day & night. When he comes back at 7 am, he makes me breakfast & then goes to sleep. We’re still figuring it all out & don’t expect to have it all together. Everytime we’ve planned our lives, they’ve fallen apart–so we’re sticking to the unplanned! The wedding, the baby, the parenting..we’re winging it all!”
Neha and Angad surprised everyone when they announced their marital union with an official statement. Later, within three months, they again took everyone by surprise when they announced that they are expecting their first child. Speaking about looking forward to spend time with their baby, Angad said, “I want to work really hard and stay committed to my work so that I can grow as an actor. I am really confident that marriage and starting a family will help me become a better actor and (it will) also (help me) have a lot more empathy which is important for me. I am equally looking forward to spending a lot of time with Neha and our newborn baby to come in the future as well as (being) lovely parents.”
Angad gladly added, “Blessings not only from my parents or Neha’s parents but also the blessing of Almighty who has put us through this beautiful phase. It’s all about timing and I felt the time was right for both Neha and me to start a family… whenever I used to think of settling down, I couldn’t think of anyone else but Neha.” (Also Read: Angad Bedi Kissing Pregnant Wife Neha Dhupia's Belly In 'Chogada Challenge' Is Adorable Beyond Words)
