It’s so strange, we have been going to the same Diwali party at Aastha [Sharma’s] house for years, but our paths never crossed or we went unnoticed by the other. However, last year, we ended up gambling together at the same table. I have always loved the traditional taash parties, but never knew many people in Mumbai who were as passionate about it as me. We ended up playing and talking together for hours and he invited me to his house for another party. I remember insisting to my friends back then that we were just going to take it ahead as friends.”
