The couple first met on the sets of the movie, Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge. However, their initial reaction to each other was more of indifference than even a simple friendship.
Soha once mentioned in one of her interviews with a leading daily:
“When I first met Kunal, I didn’t even think a friendship was possible between us, let alone being in a relationship.”
Kunal too, shared similar views:
“I thought of her as this Oxford grad and could never think that we would ever click.”

Kunal popped the question to his sweetheart in 2014, in the romantic locales of Paris, to which the demure Soha said a prompt yes!
Soha even shared this news through her Twitter profile, where she mentioned, “It gives me great happiness to share with you all that Kunal proposed to me in Paris with the most perfect ring in the world and I said yes.”
