“This first year has taught me that love is not only found in big moments. It lives in the everyday ones. In learning from each other slowly. In growing together without keeping score. In laughing at nothing and everything. In choosing each other even on the most ordinary days,” a caption on Sindhu’s anniversary post read.

“You have shown me what partnership truly means. With you, I feel supported, understood, and safe in ways that go beyond words. Your love is steady. It is patient. It is kind. You make the world feel softer just by being in it with me,” the post further added.
