The initial phase

Debina first saw Gurmeet at a talent hunt show where the two co-participated. They were both among the top 30 contestants and became friends soon, but there was nothing more than that between the two. The credit of their moving on from the 'friendship' phase to the 'lover' phase goes to their friends. As Debina recalls:

“I came to Mumbai in 2006 for a talent hunt contest and met Gurmeet there. He was also among the top 30 contestants. That's when I saw him for the first time, but then, we were just friends. Later, when I shifted to the city, he helped me in settling down. He was my roommate's boyfriend's friend, and he always used to come along with his friend to our place. While they both chatted, me and Gurmeet used to spend some time together and this went on for days. After a couple of months, my roommate's boyfriend shifted to some other place, and thus he too stopped coming. It was then that we started missing each other and felt that we shared a bond.”

Even Gurmeet felt the same way, he says:

“Once I couldn't accompany my friend and I couldn't visit Debina. That day I missed her lot. I realised that I am in love with her.”

Once they realised that there was something more between them than mere friendship, it was time to confess their love. But the problem was, how? According to Debina, Gurmeet is a very shy person. So, it took a lot for him to express himself. Debina jokingly says:

“He is a very shy person. One day he called me, and we talked for more than two or three hours. At the end, I had to tell him that I know you want to say 'I love you'.”

Likes and dislikes

Gurmeet and Debina, just like other couples, have their own take on what they like as well as dislike about each other. When asked about what attracted her to Gurmeet, Debina once said:

“Gurmeet is a typical husband material. I have always admired Gurmeet as someone very sober and hardworking. He used to stay awake whole night, and then next day go for auditions. His subtleness, hard work and of course, looks are what attracted me to him.”

Talking about what she dislikes, she said:

“Gurmeet is the most polite and humble person I have ever come across. He is very good at managing without hurting people's feelings. But when he gets hurt, he goes into a shell, and will not let anyone know that he is hurt. That's what I dislike about Guru.”

The romance

After Debina managed to make Gurmeet accept his feelings for her, the courtship period began. But mind you, this is not a clichéd Bollywood-style romantic story that you can expect from these two. Wondering why? Well, simply because Gurmeet is a very confused lover. Now, you do not get confused! Debina's words will explain everything:

“Gurmeet would do all those things, which no boyfriend in this world would think of doing. His surprises, gifts were never planned and were extremely funny. Once he gave me a rose and I could smell it from far off as he had sprinkled so much of rose water on it. Rubber toys, jokers were what he used to gift me. He was totally confused. But irrespective of all this, I knew how pure and genuine his love was for me.”

Yes, he is not a conventional lover, but that does not make him any less romantic. Debina explains:

“Guru celebrated my birthday in the middle of the road. I still can't believe he did that and that also with band baaja, in 2006.”

This was the best surprise that Gurmeet planned, according to Debina. As for Gurmeet, he is fond of the first bouquet that Debina gave to him, and calls it the best surprise.

The big question and the simple wedding

After five years of being in a steady relationship, Gurmeet finally proposed to Debina with a big diamond ring on a reality TV show, Pati, Patni Aur Woh. Gurmeet's proposal on national TV shocked Debina and she blushingly said 'yes'. Take a look at the beautiful proposal yourself:

The simple proposal led to a simple wedding. The couple chose not to go overboard with the wedding ceremony, but they made it special by tying the knot on a day after the Valentine’s Day, that is, February 15, 2011. They had a registered marriage at their home in the presence of their families, and a very few close friends. Nothing loud, nothing flashy; just a simple wedding for two people in love!

Since, they both belong to the television world, having a follow-up party was mandatory.

The celeb guests included Drashti Dhami, Kushal Punjabi, Natasha Suri, Mink Brar, Amit Sarin, Akhilendra Mishra, Ravindra Jain, Anand and Nisha Sagar, Shakti Sagar, Saurabh Pandey, Claudia Ciesla, Sachin Shroff and Juhi Parmar, Sangeeta Kapure, Romash Mehta, Annie Gill, Abhinav Shukla, Smitha Kondkar, Hina Khan, Devyani Singh, and many others.

“No, he has not dropped me. Everyone says that Gurmeet will never drop Debina, so we can keep giving him tough lifts. Jaan jaaye, par Debina haath se na jaaya (lose your life but you cannot lose Debina)! I am lucky, he has always been very protective of me. That gives me a lot of confidence.”
