Rohit Roy & Manasi

Rohit Roy and Mansi Joshi have been married for years now but do you know how long they’ve been together for? 25 long years. Yup, you read that right! And on the occasion of the anniversary of their first date back in 1992, Rohit shared this incredibly beautiful message on his Facebook page for his better half.

On the 23rd of may 1992, I asked this gorgeous, young model out on a date.. I had met her only a couple days before through a common friend.. She was a top notch model n had been given the title of ‘the face of the nineties’ and I was a lowly ranked assistant to Kunal Kapoor( son on the legendary shashi kapoor) .. Happily n surprisingly, she obliged me without much of a fuss (must have earned some brownie points at our 1st meeting

?) and off we went on my scooter to the shiv sagar restaurant (coz that’s all I could afford on a kingly salary of 1500 rupees a month ) We ordered a Ganga jamuna (mash up of orange n mosambi) for her n a mango milk shake for me! Must have spent a couple of hours there but those were the most eventful hours in my life.. those 2 hours determined how we would spend the rest of our lives! That day, unbeknownst to me, or her, for that matter, I met the love of my life.. a woman so beautiful inside out that she took over my life n every aspect of it without me even realising it.. it’s been 25 years today n my world still starts n ends with her.. Thank u manasi for being my all.. for creating a world so true n pure that God sent an angel to us! Thank u for being the ‘correct’ one in our relationship n not erring even by mistake ! Thank you for all the sage advise over the years (and yes even for the whacks on my posterior when I erred!) I might have been less or more successful without you but i wouldn’t have been a better man without u and that’s for sure ! Love u , from then to eternity

The message was for her but it brought a smile to our faces. 🙂
