How they connected
When Parmar slipped into Vaidya's DMs
Remember how Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas's love story started on Twitter? This couple too had a similar start. In an interview with Zoom Digital, Vaidya once recalled his first conversation with Parmar. After his song Mere Rashke Qamar, Parmar slipped into his DMs on Instagram, appreciating how he sang it. That marked the beginning of their friendship.
Their first meeting
Vaidya-Parmar first met in 2017
Parmar, in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, spoke about how she met Vaidya for the first time. She said he entered his life during a dark phase. "I met him at a very tough time of my life, (in) 2017 when I lost my father. And, within a month I met him. So, I have had a journey with him," she said.
