Anil - Sunita's love story

Anil and Sunita dated for 11 years before they decided to tie the knot. "A friend of mine gave Sunita my number to prank call me – that's when I first spoke to her and fell in love with her voice! A few weeks later, we met at a party and I was introduced to her...there was something about her that just attracted me. We started talking and became friends. We used to discuss this other girl I liked – you know, if I like her or she likes me? And then suddenly, that girl vanished, leaving me heartbroken. So my friendship with Sunita became stronger because of a broken heart!," Anil had once told Humans of Bombay about his love story.
