Ravi Shastri revealed that they met at a restaurant in Mumbai, and he couldn't utter even a single word in ten minutes. He mentioned that he knew that he was shy with girls, but he didn't know he could be so shy that he wouldn't be able to say a single word in ten minutes. When the interviewer asked if Amrita kept talking, Ravi agreed and shared that it was the most embarrassing thing that he couldn't say anything. Ravi could be quoted as saying:
"Jab unse pehli baar mila.... yeh ek restaurant mei tha Bombay mai aur jab main pehli baar mila unse toh pehle 10 minute mein maine ek shabd bhi nahi kaaha. Mujhe pata tha ki main ladkiyon se kaafi shy tha lekin itna bhi nahi pata tha ki ekdin aisa ayega ki mujhe chance hi nahi milegi ek shabd bhi kehne ke liye 10 minute. This was my most embarrassing moment."
