  3. It was after a lot of bailing out from Tina when she and Anil finally decide to meet.
  4. When Anil’s family first heard of Tina and the fact that she is a film actress, they were reportedly not very pleased with it.
  5. The duo lost touch for 4 years before their marriage!
  6. It was after a lot of persuading when Anil finally managed to convince his family that Tina is the best choice for him.
  7. When Anil finally broke this news to Tina, she kept telling him that she would come back from Los Angeles (where she was then placed after taking a break from the film industry) but that did not happen for six weeks.
  8. In an interaction with Simi Garewal on a popular chat show, Anil shared how he had popped the ‘big question’ to Tina, rather her mother: “I said that you love your daughter, Tina, very much, and she said, ‘yes, absolutely.’ I said that ‘if that is the case, then you can keep her here otherwise, I very much want to marry her'.”
