Shamim Mannan: “We were never that keen on marriage…”

TV actress Shamin Mannan of ‘Sanskar’, ‘Yeh Hai Aashiqui’, ‘Pyar Tune Kya Kiya’ fame got married in Assam amidst Family & close friends on 3rd of December.

Talking about getting married Mannan quips, “We were never that keen on marriage as we believe in being soul mates and our commitment to each other has been since he proposed his love to me the very first month of our first year in college. But obviously my parents live in a society so they wanted us to get married and so we did. I didn’t expect it would be so much fun. Atul’s parents and his siblings flew down to Assam; it was a lovely exchange of different cultures, languages and also religions in our case. Best part was that everyone was very warm and welcoming towards each other’s culture and traditions. In a three day event we had haldi, mehendi, sangeet ,small nikah followed by a grand reception. So overall it was super fun. And Marriage won’t change much between us as we have always treated each other like soul mates and that heart to heart bond matters the most.”

When quizzed about their love story, Shamin shares, “Ours is a teenage love. We met in our first year of college and instantly became best of friends which very soon turned into love. We have always felt like we have known each other from some other lifetime, there was a very magical connection between us even before we started being friends. During my struggle days in Mumbai Atul had been standing like a rock beside me giving me support and encouragement. Holding his own dreams back, he always gave priority to my dreams which is kind of rare these days. We are super protective of each other and would fight the world for each other.”
