Theirs was a fairy-tale romance — with exotic vacations, spectacular
celebrations, lavish dates on faraway islands and dazzling 'fireworks'.
Literally, too. Of course, and selfies that spilled their story bit by
bit. In an ultimate romantic style, last New Year's eve, Karan Singh
Grover went down on his knees and proposed to his lady-love Bipasha
Basu. It seemed no less than a perfectly scripted romantic movie, though
he says it was spontaneous and it felt like the "right moment." There
were fireworks lighting up the night skies on a stunning beach, elated
spirits and sounds of cheer. Amidst all that, he popped the question. In
a state of daze, she said, "Okay." He said, "I will take that as a
yes." Months later, they took their wedding vows, and the grand day was
planned by the beautiful bride herself. In their first interview post
shaadi, Bipasha (looking lovely with a touch of sindoor on her forehead)
and Karan talk about the wedding hangover, and their new beginnings.
Read on...
So how's the post shaadi effect? Or should I ask is there any shaadi ke side effects?
Bipasha:
It's been less than a month since the wedding, so I'm guessing it's too
early for side-effects. Honestly, the two months before the wedding was
strenuous for me, as I was the event manager for my own wedding. I felt
no jitters absolutely; in fact, I had the best time of my life during
those two days of the wedding. My mom said that I was like a hooligan of
a bride. I am still reeling under the effect of the wedding. I was
particular about every minute detail.
Karan: Being
particular is an understatement, she was anal about everything, and she
just wouldn't rest. Few days after the wedding, she woke up in the
middle of the night and asked me about which security is handling which
door and where are the guests entering from.
Bipasha: I guess it's the wedding hangover!
So tell us about the moment when he popped the question?
Bipasha: Well,
I believed in marriage, but I never thought I would get married. So
when he proposed, my first reaction was... 'what are you telling me?'
And...
Karan: ...Let me complete the
story for you. We were in Koh Samui, it was December 31 and the sky was
lit with fireworks. I was carrying the ring with me and something told
me that this is the right time. So while she was capturing the fireworks
on video, I took the opportunity and gave her the ring.
Bipasha: Karan's
family is very accepting, and I had started talking to them on facetime
long before the wedding. Over the last two to three years, his parents
have seen him change as a person, for the better. He had a lot of
baggage around him, but slowly the choices that he made for himself
started changing and his parents saw him coming back into his own self
again. It is like starting life from scratch. These choices require a
lot of strength. I don't take any credit for that.
Karan (looks
at her lovingly and says): These choices require a lot of strength from
your partner, too. It's just that sometimes you drift away from your
real self, and when your life is a little empty you fill it up with
things you don't want. Then you realise what your life is all about and
all those things start changing. It takes a lot of effort and
encouragement.
Karan was married twice before; did that ever bother you, Bipasha?
Bipasha:
It didn't bother me and we spoke about it. I believe that everyone has a
journey, and it is very easy for anyone to exclaim, "Oh...this is his
third marriage, nahin chalega... divorce ho jaayega." I tell people that
you have to be in someone's shoes to know their story and understand
their journey. This world is full of cynics, and thankfully, I have
never been cynical no matter what has happened in my life. I have always
been a believer. And Karan is like that, too. I feel I am lucky, as I
live only for love. And no man has given me more love and respect than
Karan. I might not be looking for the same thing in marriage, like
others do. I have my own checklist, and I have ticked my boxes
accordingly. And I believe you can't judge anyone for their bad
relationships. I have had bad relationships, and I could have been
easily married twice. The relationship could have been as deep, but I
didn't fall into the legality and that is the only difference. You can't
condemn someone on the basis of a piece of paper.
Karan,
have you ever won an argument with her? There's a saying that goes...
Marriage is a relationship where one person is always right and the
other is the husband.
Karan
(his quickest response in this interview): No! I have never won an
argument with her, and I don't try. There is no point. It's not because
she is better at it, but she is mostly right. It is irritating, but 99
per cent of the time she is right. I can argue and scream as much as I
want, but at the back of my head when I know that she's right, it is a
pointless battle.
Bipasha: I'm usually right! (with a naughty grin)
Karan: Yeah, yeah, she must be thinking...it's a curse; I am always right, I don't know what to do.
Any lovers' tiff, yet?
Karan: Well,
we haven't really had a lovers' tiff, but I am somebody who likes to do
things in my own relaxed pace. And she wants everything done — now! I
am aware that I'm supposed to do something, but she will keep reminding
me every 10 minutes.
Bipasha
(teasingly tells him): I am never going to change that stand, everything
for me is — now. It's been a rule since childhood. I am older than you,
so listen to me.
Karan: While that may be right, you know how I describe her? She's a small, crazy child stuck in a hot woman's body.
