About the hosts
Shalendra & Dikshika's story
In August 2023, I saw her for the first time, standing there in a pink dress, smiling softly, and somehow the whole moment felt like a spark I wasn’t ready for. A few days later, we crossed paths again: she was with her siblings, and I was with my friend, and our eyes met by accident, as if the universe were nudging us. Soon we started talking… and she started stalking my LinkedIn, typical HR behavior, but I secretly loved it.
The meeting turned into moments, moments into something real. Now we’re inseparable, engaged on 26th July 2025, and counting down to our wedding on 4th Feb 2025… the journey that started with a pink dress and a spark.
