Shreya

Shreya is initially introverted but once you crack the surface, she won't stop talking. A truly generous spirit, she thrives on kindness, shaping her interactions both at home and in the hospital where she practices as a physical therapist. She's a chirpy optimistic soul and a hopeless romantic, fueled by an obsession with devouring romantic novels. However, if there's one thing you should know about her, it's that she avoids the dance floor like the plague because when it comes to dancing, her shy nature and her two left feet always form an alliance against any potential chaos on the dance floor.

Siddharth

A scientist at work and an artist at heart Siddharth is a Phd scholar at UPenn. Sid spent most of his growing up years all over the globe and hence he is an adventurer at heart. He loves to travel, try out new cuisines and meet people. Dancing and Dogs are his love though not necessarily in that order.

Our Story

As fate would have it, Siddharth met this chirpy, cute and intelligent girl, Shreya who radiated positivity and could talk nineteen to the dozen but still listen (which was no mean feat).

And so, after many marathon conversations and dates over seven-seas and different time zones, they finally let go of reason and lost their heart to each other.

The heart has its reasons which reason knows not

— Blaise Pascal

Legacy of Love:

14/Feb/2018

In the wild world of arranged setups, Shreya and Siddharth's story begins with their parents, who were college sweethearts with a love story considered legendary. The notion that their parents' love stories were more than coincidences and perhaps part of a cosmic conspiracy adds a touch of whimsy to the narrative. Shreya and Siddharth's parents, acting as matchmakers, decide to carry on their legacy, setting the stage for a sequel featuring Shreya and Siddharth.

Long-Distance Connection:

14/Feb/2019

Despite residing in different corners of the globe—Siddharth in Philadelphia, US and Shreya in Delhi, India—the two find themselves connected through arranged means. The initial attempts at getting to know each other, fuelled by exchanged numbers and parent-reunion encounters from their childhood, are marked by awkwardness and nervous vibes. Yet, amidst these uncertainties, Shreya and Siddharth realize that their parents had unwittingly orchestrated the beginning of a unique love story.

Crossing Oceans for Love:

14/Feb/2020

Siddharth takes a bold step by flying across the ocean to meet Shreya in person, sparking a series of dates with horror movies as the predominant theme. The differing perspectives on Siddharth's reactions to horror films add a touch of humour to their burgeoning relationship. The introduction of a horror mystery room becomes a creative way to challenge Siddharth's tendency to doze off during movie dates.

Magical Moments in Mystery:

14/Feb/2020

In the eerie setting of the horror mystery room, Siddharth transforms into a skilled clue-cracker, and Shreya plays the supportive sidekick. Amid cryptic clues and unsettling surroundings, Shreya experiences a moment of profound clarity, realizing the depth of her feelings for Siddharth. This chaotic yet magical moment becomes a pivotal point in their relationship, solidifying the connection that had been developing since their initial calls.

The Yes Moment:

14/Feb/2020

Despite the challenges posed by the geographical distance between them, Shreya and Siddharth decide to say yes to each other. They embrace the long-distance relationship as the ultimate test of patience and Wi-Fi strength, emphasizing the belief that distance holds no significance when the other person means everything. Their not-so-typical love story concludes, showcasing that love, in their case, defied conventional scripts and expectations.
