“My mother was fine. My father was really against the idea. He said, I wanted you to be a rank holder in school and you weren’t. I asked you pursue engineering and you took up films instead. I thought you would leave the decision of marriage at least to us.” But Prasanna couldn’t really explain to his dad that none of his actions were intentional. “To be very honest, he is still not completely okay. But I have decided that she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with and nothing can change that.”

Sneha and her family were certainly not happy with the fact that his parents weren’t receptive to the idea of them getting married. “I was naturally upset but I don’t really blame them given their upbringing and culture. But my parents said that any house should feel lucky to have me as a daughter in law and I am in no way less worthy.” Prasanna always wanted a girl who could respect elders and be just another girl. “I also love her because when she is at home, she is not a star and she is very close to her family and respects elders a lot.”
