  • Although Vikram and Shwetambari had been dating for three years, the idea to make their relationship official via marriage struck the couple when Vikram’s father was hospitalised and the doctor recommended angioplasty for him. When Vikram approved the angioplasty procedure for his father, the question about taking such prominent decisions in each other’s life popped up in the minds of Vikram and Shwetambari. In an interview, Vikram explained,

    My father was hospitalised at the time. When the doctor recommended an angioplasty for him, we gave the go-ahead. Then, Shweta asked me, ‘If this happens to either of us, who will take [the call]? A partner doesn’t have any rights.’ We realised that companionship was fine, but we needed a more formal relationship.”
