How we got here

Here's the groom's mother! Lovingly called Bimpty, Mahiema has been a documentary filmmaker, is a maverick by nature, and a globetrotter in search of stories that warm the heart and feed the soul. Want to know the secret to her heart? A lip-smacking bowl of scrumptious gol gappe!

Meet Shreya's father, also known as Vintoo. He's a retired advertising and marketing professional who, in his younger days, dabbled in a bit of social activism in his free time, but deep dove into it the day he retired. Everybody's go-to financial, legal, professional advisor, he will go to lengths and breadths for his family and friends. The quickest way to his heart is presenting him with a foot-stool he can prop his feet on.

Meet Shreya's mother, Vinita (Vinni). Also a retired advertising and graphic designing professional with a heart of gold, caregiver to anybody who visits her house or becomes acquainted with her. Who needs Google Maps when she's around! Just take her to a location once, she'll record it in her system and take you there even 20 years later! Keep a bag of cream and onion chips with cheese puffs handy to win her over quickly.

Shreya and her sister Nivita (Nivi), have grown up closely together, sharing school, college and some wonderful friends. After her marriage, Vinayak (Vinny) too became a close part of the family. They are blessed with two beautiful little darlings - Doorva and Deveshi.
