Indraneil and Barkha greeted each other for the first time on the sets of their telly show, Pyaar Ke Do Naam; Ek Radha Ek Shyam. It was a very formal meeting and as one would think, there were no sparks flying when these two good-looking people saw each other for the first time.
Barkha admits:
"I don’t know how we started dating. It’s still a mystery to me. We both were so different. I am the jovial and social kind and he is just the opposite. He is the reserved and quiet type. We just got along with each other well during the show and there was nothing romantic about it."

Barkha recalls how it happened:
"However, the age old funda of ‘opposites attract’ worked for us. I guess somewhere down the line, both of us are so ‘opposite’ to each other that we did fall for each other. When the show got over and we stopped meeting, it hit us that we need each other. We called each other up again and went for coffee; and then for lunches and dinners, countless times. I guess we were in courtship without even being conscious of it."
Knowingly or unknowingly, they fell in love with each other and never came out of it!
