While sharing the incident, she revealed that before getting married, she had only one condition. She was quoted as saying:

"Zubin is someone I had known for many years. So he asked, ‘What’s the issue?’ I said, ‘The issue is that I want to work.’ He said, ‘I’m okay with you working.’ So I gave him that look — ‘Oh, you’re giving me permission?’ He said, ‘Arey yaar, just work. Do whatever you want’. I said yes. I need to work. He’s like done. It was literally a handshake. So we got married in the parking lot of my mother’s building. And it was a weird one because I was also working. And he said, ‘Listen buddy, will you land up for the wedding?’ I was like yeah yeah."

She continued to add that the next day after a handshake in the parking lot, the couple met for lunch at the Taj Hotel and she described it as the ‘high-point’ of the celebration. Recalling that day, she explained that very soon, both of them resumed work and Zubin had left for Sydney. She also mentioned that the secret for her marriage to last is that she and Zubin did not have any fairy tale idea. In her words:

"He went for work. I went for work. That’s it. No big romance happening. That’s how it lasts. When you don’t have these fairy tale stupid ideas."
