Actor Sunita Rajwar, known for web series Panchayat and Gullak, and films Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and Pinch, says, "My husband Alok has improved me as a person and he has changed me for the better.

What bigger compliment can a husband ask for? And to think she was hesitant to get into a relationship with him because he was aspiring to be an actor in Mumbai. He had worked in the films Welcome to Sajjanpur and Cricket, and has also worked in a few serials. However, he works at Star Sports now. Let Sunita tell you why she fell in love with Alok despite her initial reservations.

Q. How did you meet your husband Alok?

A. After assisting director Chandan Arora on the film Striker, I started work on the TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. I had the office laptop with me and joined Facebook because it was still new and exciting. Alok was working as an actor-writer on the film Cricket, and we had some common friends. So he sent me a friend request and I accepted... it was destiny. We started chatting often - coincidentally, his mother is also from Uttarakhand like me, and we just connected.

Q. Who took the initiative to meet?
