An age gap of 20 years did not stop Vishal from getting hitched to hisbest friend ’s mother Anupama.
Theirfamily , especially Dhruv, Vishal’s best friend , was caught off-guard when he came to know about the relationship but that did not bother the couple. In 2019, Vishal lost his parents to a road accident. Eventually the couple tied the knot after almost five years of dating each other. The wedding took place at a Shiv mandir with a few close ones gracing the occasion.
Despite all the hate comments, the two moved in together along with Dhruv, Anupama’s 28-year-old son and her grandchild. “My son is of the same age as my husband, but the age gap never came in between us. I love him. He is very caring and understanding. We are lucky to have each other,” Anupama, who had a failed first marriage, says.
The couple has got used to thederogatory comments and taunts hurled at them. “Vishal used to get comments like ‘Why don’t you leave her’ or ‘She is old, you deserve better’ but this does not bother us anymore. We have learnt to ignore them,” she adds.
Vishal, who lost many friends, says: “As long as we are by each other’s side nothing matters. We know our relationship is special and beautiful and hate comments cannot break what we have.”
