Do you believe in ‘love at first sight’? If you have no idea what it is like, here’s an extraordinary story of an influencer couple Vishakha and Divesh who fell in love while exchanging glances.
Let’s take a look at how Vishakha Biswas and Divesh Khatri, a well-known digital marketing strategists, part-time content creators and full-time husband and wife, tied the knot in 2021 after dating each other for five years in Mumbai. This lovely pair, who had fought before going above and beyond to keep their marriage in tandem, discovered love yet again after marriage.
Love at first sight

In 2015, Divesh, a young man from Chembur, encountered Vishakha, a former subordinate, while he was employed as a marketing manager at Culture Machine Media Private Limited. Vishakha was taken aback when Divesh fell in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her. Before Divesh asked Vishakha to marry him in 2020, this cute couple had been dating for five years. They tied the knot a year later.
However, Vishakha’s reserved personality developed on Divesh’s extroverted nature. Given that they had high expectations of an idyllic marriage, their conflicting and intolerant personalities led to arguments and disagreements, which ultimately resulted in a serious breakdown in their marriage.

It was smooth sailing for this couple to convince their parents as they also were a part of love marriages. Being rebels themselves and a firm believer of love marriages, they made it possible to get married at any cost.
The couple revealed, “We are fortunately blessed to have such lovely parents who support us and have played a huge role in getting us married. Having said so, they were happy for our journey together”.

Divesh shares, “She lets me be the way I am and that’s the most beautiful thing anyone can ask for. She supports me in everything, especially in my lowest moments.” And Vishakha added, “What I really love about Divesh is that he adds a humorous quotient to my life. He is extremely funny to pep me up on the gloomiest day. He is super chill as a person and I’m the one who panics. But the most important thing is that he adds a ray of sunshine to my mundane life.”
In 2020, they understood that they are made for each other. Divesh retorted, “Even in the silliest of fights and misunderstandings, Bisu was the one to make up for every situation. She never gave up and to make it work. She was the one who took all the hard hits.” Vishakha added, “While Divesh was a total brat, he also started putting in extra efforts to make this relationship work.”

Their past relationship was a learning experience to them. As Vishakha made ends meet, Divesh took that extra step to not argue and fight with her. Instead of arguments, the couple decided to discuss things when they saw that their marriage was in a total mess. Though they both wanted to give up on their marriage, they had a little ray of hope to mend this decade old relationship as mature individuals. Vishakha added, “For me, Divesh has been a person who made me see traits of me that I wasn’t even aware of. I also got a sense of freedom with him. With Divesh being an extrovert, I opened up and started socializing very often.”
Vishakha and Divesh’s advice on marriage

Vishakha and Divesh shared, “We believe that we really don’t have any advice because it’s an experience that differs from person to person. But if there’s one piece of advice we’d like to share with all is to self-reflect and realize his or her own pattern of mistakes. Because every fight is caused due to one’s insecurity, trauma or baggage that they carry from the past. Hence, reflecting on a particular situation is key to a happy married life”.
“Therapy also plays a very important role because that’s one of the things that helped us understand each other’s point of view. We also highly encourage couples therapy. There’s no way you’ll be able to mend things without knowing what’s in your partner’s mind and heart,” the couple concluded.
