Read out her endearing story below:
“I decided to move out of the country & started working with Air Asia, as a cabin crew in Malaysia. It was at that time that my then boyfriend, suddenly passed away. It was heartbreaking–it felt like there was no coming back. A couple of months later, I got posted in Chennai.
I was
staying in a hotel with my colleagues. Once, in the lobby, I saw a tall, rugged
man. It was Milind Soman! I was a big fan! So I went to say hello, but he was
busy. A few days later, I saw him again at the hotel’s nightclub.
I kept
looking at him & he was staring at me too! My friends urged me to go talk
to him. So I asked if he’d like to dance & he obliged! There was a vibe–I
could feel it!
But I didn’t
want to get too involved. So I excused myself & I thought he’d forget about
me. But soon he came looking for me–he had to go so he asked for my number. It
was a new number, so I didn’t remember it & didn’t have my phone on me
either.
So he made my friend take his number & asked me to message him. A few days passed by & I couldn’t get him out of my mind. So I texted him & we met again after a week, for dinner. After that, we’d constantly text & meet.
But I still
couldn’t bring myself to get fully involved. Until one day, I told him that
because of my past, with my boyfriend, there was a part of me that couldn’t let
go. To which he said, ‘When I fell in love with you, I fell in love with all of
you. Even the part that carries the burden of your past. So don’t be afraid,
we’re in this together.’ That’s when I knew–this was the man for me!
We dated for 5 years after that–until we decided to get married! My family & a few others were worried because of the age gap between us. But it wasn’t an issue for us! So when they saw us together & they saw how happy I was around him, they agreed too!
