Love and Music

Announcement

Arshi continued with her studio sessions and her usual tours after marriage too. Rahul, Ma and Baba were way too supportive to help her and motivate her to go ahead with her career. Arshi's life, in terms of her work, had not changed much as she would think, post marriage. The months of concerts, January to mid-March had begun and they stayed very busy throughout. Rahul and Arshi toured for a couple of months along with Akshat-Amit and the band. The best part of their situation was they could stick to each other, understand each others' job and passion for music. They were a match made in heaven.

Arshi felt a different kind of happiness performing with Rahul and the camaraderie they shared was wonderful. They had a few interviews together too but they had not revealed that they were married to each other. The interviews were usually on music and a few were personal but they clearly managed to dodge the personal questions easily. The interviews and the concerts were going fine and they were enjoying it with each other. 

One day, while Arshi and Rahul were talking to each other over a cup of coffee, Arshi said, "Rahul, I thank my stars that I am a singer and music producer and not an actor in the Industry. The lives of actors are so public and even if they wish to keep their relationship or marriage undercover, it is nearly impossible to stop people from speculating about the same. There are so many rumours that begin to fly and once they start it is nowhere possible to break the chain." Rahul agreed, "I know right. But if it is about us you are talking about, I don't find any reason to necessarily to keep it under the cover anymore. But yes, it is a relief that we could have a private ceremony with no one hounding on us, which would have been nearly impossible otherwise." Arshi asked, "So why are we keeping it untold now? We both are very proud of each other and I am sure it will be a decent surprise for the fans who have been constantly asking us about our personal lives." Rahul agreed, "Yes, it is better to just tell the people and stop any speculations even before they begin." They decided that they both when asked, will speak the truth and not try to hide it anymore. 

The days went on and they enjoyed producing music, tours and chilling with friends. Anushree and Esha would drop in every now and then and they met more frequently to chat and chill over coffee and great food made by Arshi. 

Arshi had one day randomly put up a poll on Instagram asking whether she should come live or not, as she was very bored sitting at home doing nothing. She checked the poll results after half an hour and 90% voted for a live chat so she put up a story on Instagram stating that she would go live at 7:00 PM. The live session started and about 3000 people joined in, requesting for songs and asking questions. She got a question that asked, "Are you single?" Arshi answered, "So the next question is whether I am single. The answer is I am not single.  I am married." In the chat, there were a lot of surprised emoji and many asked who is she married to. She said, "For those asking me about my marriage, I am married to a great person." She put herself on mute and called out for Rahul. Rahul came to the room and waited beside her. Arshi unmuted herself and said, "I am married to a person whom you all know. It is this guy and called Rahul into the screen. Rahul sat beside Arshi and many people, in the chat sent smileys and hellos to Rahul. Arshi continued, "I and Rahul got married sometime back and it was a very private ceremony. For those asking for the wedding photos, I shall put it on Instagram soon." Many people asked about Rahul and their marriage. Rahul said, "It was a love marriage and We fell in love and were in a relationship for a year and a half after which we got married. That is all." Arshi read a few questions about how acceptive their parents had been and answered, "Our parents were very supportive. They knew about our relationship from a very early stage and they were with us in the entire process of the relationship and marriage.  Ma and Baba as in Rahul's parents were very supportive with me continuing my career and going for tours. Rahul was always there to understand my passion and love for my music and my work and was very supportive with the same too." 

The live chat continued for about an hour and they enjoyed answering questions and singing songs that fans requested for. It was a great chat. As they were singing, Akshat sir too joined the live chat and Rahul asked, "Sir, Will you be able to join us? It will be great." Akshat sir sent a request to join the chat and they had a lot of fun. Akshat sir asked, "I am so happy that you both finally spoke about your relationship and we will see more of these two together in stage as well as in many upcoming songs too. 

Arshi and Rahul were happy that they were able to talk about themselves to their fans whom they considered as their extended family. More importantly, they enjoyed having Akshat sir join them too.
