As for Nayyar, he said, “My first thought was, This is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. My second thought was, She’s way out of my league.”

Nayyar had to go back to Los Angeles in nine days, so the pair preceded to spend as much time as they could together. When it came to the first “proper date,” Kapur told Vogue India they ended up barhopping which resulted in a very “hammered” new couple. “We only laughed,” Kapur added. “We laughed for five hours.”
At the end of Nayyar’s visit, he gave Kapur an ultimatum. He told her that “if this is something we want to do, we have to do it now. You have to come and see me in three weeks.” And, of course, three weeks later she was on her way to Los Angeles and the rest is history. “I can spend hours talking to Kunal, and it just felt like I had always known him, so when I came to visit him in L.A., it just seemed so right,” Kapur told Glamour. “I think I was always ready to marry him.”
