"I saw a lot of my father's reflection in Vinod. My father was a wonderful man and equally soft spoken. But to tell you the truth, my dad didn't want Vinod and I to get married. I told him that I was sure. He said, 'You are only 23, you haven't seen the world.' One day before the marriage, I almost chickened out. I told my fears to Vinod. He said 'don't worry, you are just nervous.' Thankfully, everything went fine."

I don't know the details of that meeting but the very next week, we were married."

"No, I cannot. Look at what's happening to relationships today. If Vinod ji was alive, we would have married each other once again and reiterated our vows. All said and done, currently I am doing fine. My decision to marry Vinod ji was never wrong. Sadly our daughter couldn't spend much time with him. Our son did not see him. It is so strange, but trust me, they will never meet a man as good as Vinod ji ever in their lives."
