Peter Haag gets candid about finding her companion in her husband, Peter Haag. She talks about how she knew Peter was the one she wanted to get married to at their first meeting. Tell us how you fell in love with your husband Peter Haag.

I met Peter for the first time in Dubai. I was there for the store opening of the Indian fashion brand I endorse (Jashn). I met Peter through a dear family friend whom I lovingly call Nilesh Mama & my dear friend Rahuul Jashnani. It was a family gathering at a wonderful lounge and Peter was also invited to it. There was an intense recognition in a part of me when I first saw Peter. Actually we did not speak anything to each other but I just knew from the moment he walked in that he was my husband even though we had never met before.

I do not know about love at first sight but one thing I know for sure that soulmates recognise each other through different lifetimes no matter what part of the world they live in. Every step they take in their lives is a step towards each other. The ones who believe in love reach each other faster; the ones who become sceptical with life experiences may take longer to find each other.

It's weird but the moment I saw him walk in wearing a tailored black suit I thought to myself - 'Oh...there walks in my husband' - and then I just shuddered and shrugged the thought off my mind, thinking I had gone completely insane. Ironically it is exactly what Peter thought too. I noticed his impeccable manners and very kind eyes and I knew that he was my husband.

 

Peter had come to India in August 2010 to meet my parents. We went out one evening to a favourite haunt of ours. He had specially requested me to wear a sari that evening. He proposed marriage that evening and we got engaged in a quiet ceremony on September 23 at our Mumbai residence amidst family. We were engaged for a year before we got married.
