SHAGUN: The journey up to our marriage not been an easy one, mostly because my parents were not really in favour. Not for any particular reason. Perhaps, even they don’t know why. Do we ever know why we like or dislike someone?
Also, it was about the values Dv and I stood for. That was the most difficult part. Convincing others that we are opposing something because our values don’t align with the concept.
Dv: Watching Shagun’s parents grow and adapt to new ideas was amazing. Even though this growth has mostly been reluctant and often imposed by us, as we exposed them to ideas that were bizarre in their worldview. It has also been interesting—and disappointing—to find my parents unable to grow or adapt at all.
