Vivek changed his mind when his mother insisted him on meeting Priyanka Alva (his wife now) and the story took a different turn. Vivek told Curly Tales, “I didn’t want to get married, I was partying away. I was like no serious relationships. It’s too much stress, too much complications. I had my fatherly emotion satisfied with my nieces and nephews. So, I was like, why to get married.”

Vivek continued, “My mom said, ‘meet this one girl, meet her and if you don’t like her, you say no, after that I will never tell you to meet anybody else but meet this one.'” FYI, Vivek and Aishwarya fell in love during the shoot of the 2004 film Kyun Ho Gaya Na. However, they parted ways after a brief period of dating.

My mother saw this, and she has seen enough of me saying ‘please don’t talk about it’ in the past. She had tried this in the past… She is looking at this photo, and I come home and see the picture and say ‘she is quite pretty’. Next thing I know is that she is telling me ‘you have to meet her’,” Vivek recalled while speaking to Humans of Bombay.
