Remembering how they met and how things followed

They have known each other for last twenty six years. They shared the same class since grade four. Though Suraj and Reshma knew each other since their childhood, it took quite some time for their love to blossom. Here is what Suraj has to say,

“There was no great realization overnight nor were there any formal proposal. But yes, I was the one to make the first move. It was only after Bachelors that we started meeting often. We were together for days which went into years so it was understood that we would be together in future.”

Balancing career and family

Being in media ourselves we can understand how his schedule might be. Despite his tight schedules he manages to eat his lunch at home in week days and breakfast in weekends as he is busy with his shoots during most of the weekends.  Suraj adds

“There have been times when I get to talk to my daughter only once in three days, as by the time I am home she is already asleep and when I am awake she would have already left for school.  The main thing is that I am always busy with my work which is good but I miss my daughter.”

Arguments and disagreements

There are ups and downs in every relationship. Does this couple also have arguments? If yes, what would the topic be  like? Let us see what they have to say about it.

Reshma: In our initial years of marriage we used to have arguments over every small little things but now we don’t argue over trivial things.  He does not have time even for that.”

Suraj: Of course, we do have arguments but that does not last long. Usually it is because of my profession. I cannot give much time to them and other isssue is beacuse of the false rumors that you get to hear every now and then.”

Well, that is the flaw of getting into limelight. It is no surprise if your name gets linked up with whomever you work. But I am sure, Suraj is a loyal husband. After having a talk with him I can feel that Suraj is a true family man and his life consists of his wife and daughter.

Insecurity factor

To be honest, when I saw him in “Ma haraye” by Deepak Gurung, which is by far the hottest music video in context of Nepal, I wondered, “How did his wife allow him to do this?” Well, jokes apart, Suraj is a phenomenal actor.

Related to above, when I asked Reshma how it feels to see her man romancing with other girls on screen, this is what she had to say,

“We watch his music videos together. Watching him romance with other female artists does not make me jealous but at times when I get to hear something from outsider I feel insecure. I get influenced by them and show my anger to him.”

Personal life

We were lucky enough to be the first one to interview him along with his wife. Otherwise, the couple has always kept their relationship away from the limelight. Reshma is extremely guarded about their personal life. There are hardly any pictures of their wedding nor any other family picture available on the web. Till date, Reshma avoids media completely and about this she says,

“Nothing against anyone, but I like my life to be free from media glare. I want  people to respect my space, so that is why I stay away from media.”

Admiring wife:

Suraj finds Reshma a very caring person. Suraj has high respect and admiration for her.

“I do not have to bother about anything at home. Right from my wallet to clothes to food, she manages everything. She knows what I like and what I don’t. It is difficult to imagine my life without her. “

Husband feels left out after baby

It is true that a man is overjoyed to be a father but also cannot deny the fact that most of the husbands feel left out after the birth of their child.

“Left out? Rather than feeling left out after the baby, he should feel that he has an added companion in his life.”

Valentine’s Day a special day

Let us see what this couple has to say about their view on Valentine’s Day or is it just another normal day for them?

Suraj: I do not think if she takes it as a special day but I make sure I get flowers for her. On the very night before Valentine’s Day I bring flowers and hide it from  her.

Reshma: I do not do anything special on that day.

Idea of romance

Since they have a nuclear family, they have a very private life. They enjoys each other’s company.

“Since the day we got married and till date it is just Reshma and me and yes from the last six years our daughter has joined us. So there is no less of a romance in our life.” Says Suraj.

When asked about their idea of romance, Reshma says,

“When he is home we spend cozy and comfortable time together by either watching movies or doing other stuff that includes our daughter. That is our idea of romance.”

Papa chori moment

Tell us about being a father of a daughter

It is the loveliest thing that has happened to me. She is everything to me. So we have not planned for a second child. I always wanted a daughter.

Is there any resemblance?

Oh there are lots. We have very similar taste, whatever I enjoy eating she enjoys it too.I like to interact with new people, enjoy guests in our home and so does she.

Is she a papa’s pampered princess?

I do pamper her, while her mother keeps her in discipline. She is scared of her mother rather than me. As I get to spend less of a time with her, I try to compensate in any which way possible. So, I tend to get her everything that she wants whether it is of use or not. But again, when I shout at her, she gets hurt pretty babdly.

What do you enjoy doing together?

At times we go for a drive where we talk a lot and we enjoy swimming together. Sometimes she also comes to my office. I watch cartoon with her and enjoy Motu Patlu.
