“I had just seen LSD. His first film. About three days later, one of my school friends called me, she said, ‘Could you do this video for me, it’s a music video, and I am calling this other actor called Rajkummar. He was just in LSD.’ I said, ‘Ruksana, no, I am not coming because I think he is very creepy and I was scared.’ She was like, ‘Nothing will happen, we will send you a car, and why don’t you get your sister along with you?’ I was like, ‘Okay, let’s see.'”

Further revealing how awkward she was during their trip from Mumbai to Pune, she said, “I made my sister sit between me and Raj, and they started chit-chatting. I was feeling weird because he was that creepy guy from that movie. So, I was pinching her and said do not talk to him. And eventually, it was a bit awkward, because the ride was also long from Mumbai to Pune. So, he was like, ‘Hey, what do you do?’ I am like, ‘I have done these couple of ads’. And the moment I said that I saw there was some shift. And as the story goes, he had seen that particular ad and he was like, ‘I wanna marry this girl’.”

Interestingly, soon after their first meeting for a video shoot, the couple started dating each other. 

Talking further about how she fell for Rao, she revealed, “When we reached FTTI and started shooting for the video. We were there for three days. He was just a different human being. Someone who loved his art so much, and was so passionate about his work. It was such a rarity, and I just couldn’t stop falling in love with him. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this man is all about his work and passion and there is so much integrity and depth to him’. Most of us, back then, when we were doing audition rounds, everybody was doing this either to become richer or to become famous… But he was this guy who was just doing this for the love of his art.”
