Sumeet Vyas on fiancee Ekta Kaul: It’s not one big moment when you know you’ve met ‘the one’. It’s how they make you feel

In a post on Instagram, Sumeet opened up about falling in love with Ekta and what she means to him. Sumeet started with: "“I’d been single for sometime–you know that phase where your friends say, ‘you’re single, doing well, don’t get into a relationship’?–I tried but got over it quickly. Around then, I met her.. at shows & on sets, but I didn’t know how to pursue her! She tweeted about my show & we started talking–I invited her to my play & we went out after! We ended up talking for hours about acting. By the third time, I had a feeling she wasn’t getting it! So I specified, ‘This is a date okay? & she just nodded!"

As his love life blossomed, baby steps at a time, Sumeet wrote about Ekta being away from the world of glamour. He writes, "She’s not from the acting circuit–she was discovered by chance. It was a breath of fresh air! I’ve been around serious artists all my life.. this was so different!” Adding to how distinct she is, Sumeet said, “Even our choices didn’t match! The first movie we watched was ‘La La Land’–I came out of it emotional & she was like eh! I thought oh no–how’s this going to work?"

Sumeet tried to impress Ekta with his fame, owing to the fact that he had already found success with TVF series ‘Permanent Roommates’, but it didn’t work for him. He writes, “When we started dating, I was at sea. How do I impress her? I told her that I’m kind of famous as this character, Mikesh..She wasn’t bothered! When people asked me for photographs- she’d wonder why! The next time we met, she’d watched my entire show! I asked her how–it was so long she said she watched it while getting ready! I was confused–Why wasn’t it affecting her!” and adds, “But that’s how I knew she was with me for the right reasons.”

On finding the girl of his choice, Sumeet explains, “It’s not one big moment when you know you’ve met ‘the one’. It’s how they make you feel every day if they make you a better person & she does. But one such moment was last year during Holi! I rode my bike to a party & had a little bit of bhang. I was in no state to ride. She saw that & took the keys –I thought she was joking! I mean it was a Bullet! But she just got on & off we went, me in the backseat & my lady driving the bullet. I thought then, Man! I’m going to marry her! She’s the one!"

Sumeet then revealed how he proposed to the love of his life and writes: "But, all of a sudden she left for Jammu because she realised acting wasn’t for her! I knew then that I wanted to do everything to make this work. I asked her to move back for our relationship–to give us a chance. Thankfully, she agreed, but I didn’t want to risk it, so this year on my birthday, I popped the question! She was so happy, she had a childlike smile & I swear even though I gave her a ring, it’s me who found the diamond!”
