EVENTIQUE CONCEPTS, OWNERS JOLLY AND REEMA ARORA, TAKE A TRIP DOWN THEIR 20-YEAR-OLD MEMORY LANE
NIKITA SHARMA
HAND IN HAND

SHE is a chatterbox, and he believes silence is stronger than words, but Reema and Jolly Arora of Eventique Concepts, who will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary this year, proved that opposites attract.

Ours is a typical filmi love story, they say as they begin to reminisce their journey. “We were childhood buddies, living in the same locality in Kirti Nagar, attending the same tuition classes, and going cycling together. In short, she was the girl next door,” says Jolly.

From playing together to chatting endlessly, they made as much time as possible for each other. “Belonging to a conservative family, I wasn’t allowed to go out after 6:00pm. I would meet him during college and my coaching classes. After coming back from school, we would talk over the phone every day,” adds Reema.
