MUMBAI: Nakuul Mehta has been winning the audience's heart with his performance as Shivaay in Star Plus’ Ishqbaaz. But off-screen, he won hearts years ago for being a doting husband to his loving wife Jankee Mehta. The duo has been married for six years and has been giving us immense couple goals since then.

Their very romantic photos and appreciation posts for each other are adorable. And now, Nakuul, on a site called Humans of Bombay, spoke about his love story with Jankee.

The ace actor stated that when he first saw his wife, he was just 18 years old, but he knew that she would be the one for him. They met when they both were training with Shiamak. It took him two months to get a number. Subsequently, they spoke every night for six months before he asked her out.

Nakuul went to her house with a bouquet & a card, but Jankee told him that she did not see him in that way. Even after that, Nakuul remained her friend despite how hard it was for him.

Have a look at the post below and read the romantic story of Nakuul and Jankee.

“My first thought when I saw Jankee was, ‘How amazing would life be, if she agreed to marry me.’ I was only 18 but my instincts told me, she was the one. We were both training with Shiamak–I saw her there for the first time. I was also interning at BSE & remember travelling from there to Andheri, strategizing an opening line. Finally, I gathered the courage & asked her, ‘Do you have a name?’ Her look said, ‘What do you mean, do you have a name?’ But she just said, ‘Jankee’. After that, it took me 2 months to get her number! We talked every night for 6 months before I asked her out. I went to her house with a bouquet & a card–cheesy, I know! But all she said was, ‘I’ll call you.’ Then she called & said, ‘I don’t see you like that.’ It was a no go–but I continued to be her friend despite how hard it was. 6 months later, when I went to the US, she realised that she missed me. When I came back, I knew that it was moving somewhere, but she wasn’t forthcoming. So I suggested not speaking for a while. But we’d already planned to watch Devdas, so we went for it, sat together, didn’t speak and then went our own way. In a week she called me & said ‘I like you too.’ I replied, ‘What makes you think I like you still?’ I was just playing, but for a day, she went through what I went through for 6 months! The next day we met & a reverse proposal happened! I made her wait for 10 seconds before saying, ‘Yes’! We dated for 9 years after–I’d have married her at 18 but it was a tough one! She comes from a traditional Gujarati family. They were hesitant–I wasn’t Gujarati or a businessman & I was an actor! But she was unrelenting! Finally, I spoke to her parents until they were convinced. Then at 2 am, I proposed to her on Marine Drive with a 5 page poem I’d written–thankfully she said ‘yes’ before the cops came after us! When we got married, I didn’t even have a job, but she had blind faith in me. She helped me become the best version of myself. That’s what love is–relentless & unconditional. She’s been my rock. And now that I have the career I’ve always wanted, none of it matters more than her. Till today, my biggest accomplishment is that she agreed to marry me!”
