Abin and Shilpa's story is a true testament of the Invisible string theory. It states that two people who are destined to be together, would meet at the right time, no matter how much distance is there between them or no matter how many times they have crossed paths without realising. It is only when the timing is 'right' is when the two people would connect and click - like two puzzle pieces coming together, completing the image.
And this is exactly what happened with Abin and Shilpa. Even though they met on Aisle, it turns out all of their friends and families have known each other forever, ad their cousins are married to each other! "How could we have not known run into each other for so many years?" Abin laughs. It's funny sometimes how fate has a role to play in everything we do.
While, for Abin, this was a love at first sight encounter, Shilpa was a little more skeptical in taking things forward. Afterall, Abin wasn't her "usual type" in guys that she goes for. And she was very honest with him about this, having discussions and coming clean about things is how Shilpa lives life. "It's better to always have everything laid out in the open, that way, no one gets hurt and you can reach decisions faster, nahi?"
While Shilpa may not have been initially sure about him, Abin was determined to show her that he was the one. And he did it in the most grand and thoughtful way imaginable.
Abin spent months planning the ultimate proposal. Knowing how much Shilpa loved Bollywood and had always dreamed of a proposal that would match the romance of the silver screen, he pulled out all the stops. He even went so far as to write a song for her. But that wasn’t all. Then came the pièce de résistance: he booked an entire movie theatre for the proposal, invited their closest friends and family to be part of the big moment, and created an unforgettable experience of Shilpa. On her birthday, as the lights dimmed and the opening chords of the song filled the air, Abin got down on one knee and asked Shilpa to be his forever.
Of course, she said yes!
After nailing a proposal that can bring even the most romantic movies to their knees, the couple is now all set to get married! For Abin and Shilpa, the invisible string is real, and it’s tying them together for a lifetime.
As they prepare to say "I do," Aisle sends them all the love and best wishes for a life as magical as their story—because for them, the journey is just beginning.
