The 'Tum Mile' moment for Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu was in the late 2000s when they had met for the shoot of their film, Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge and rather than a friendly encounter, they didn't speak to each other at all. It was during their next film, 99, when Soha and Kunal came closer. The 'real life' princess, Soha is the daughter of veteran actress, Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi a.k.a., the former Nawab of Pataudi and former captain of the Indian cricket team. Kunal was born to actors, Ravi Kemmu and Jyoti Kemmu. Acting runs in the blood of Soha and Kunal but it was their different backgrounds that became topics of their discussions and their friendship gradually developed into a relationship.

In an interview with the Hindustan Times in 2012, three years before their wedding, Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu had revealed how they had introduced each other to their parents. Soha had revealed that she relied on her mother, Sharmila Tagore to tell Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi about Kunal. Soha had said, "I would've never told my father directly because we didn't have discussions about boys. I relied on my mother to tell him. I must've told her and she is very liberal and trusting of my choices and not overtly concerned. She met Kunal on the sets of 99 and unfortunately he was doing a scene in which he had to wear a pink bathrobe." Correcting Soha, Kunal interrupted, "White bathrobe." Then Soha continued, "Yeah. White bathrobe with shorts. She liked him immediately, and he is very good with mothers."

Speaking about his equation with the Pataudi family, Kunal added, "I'm very fond of Saif bhai as I call him now. Anybody can get along with him because he is a very entertaining person. I respect Amma (Sharmila Tagore) a lot. She's a legendary actress and initially I was very nervous around her. Saba is a very real person."
