How They Met
Interestingly, despite hailing from the same fraternity, Hunar Hale and Mayank Gandhi never met each other until their families officially introduced them. What’s more, their respective families played the role of the cupid as well, as they thought them to be a perfect match. Mayank, at that time, was fresh out of his break-up with ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’ actress Mihika. Hunar, on the other hand, too had her share of past. Surprisingly, when their families introduced them to each other for marriage both Hunar and Mayank weren’t prepared for settling down, but each thought of giving it a try! Quite alike, must say!

Cupid Strikes
At a time, when most couples are choosing their partner on their own, Hunar and Mayank’s love story is somewhat traditional. They fell in love after saying ‘Yes’ to each other. To seal their love, a ‘roka ceremony’, which was a quiet affair, was held earlier in the year. Regular meetings and dates gave the two an opportunity to know each other well. Remarkably, they found out that the two complemented each other perfectly – Hunar being the bold, beautiful and rebellious type and Mayank being the sauve, smart and sombre types. While she brings in the chirpiness and life to their love story, he perfects it with his maturity and understanding. They knew each other’s flaw and weaknesses but still couldn’t stop falling in love with each other. Well, who can say theirs’ wasn’t a love marriage?

She perfected the look with a nose pin, maang tika, gorgeous earrings and red chooda. Matching her in style was the groom Mayank Gandhi, who looked like a dashing handsome jatt in his white shervani, hot pink turban and pink dupatta.
