Do you remember coming across an elderly Sikh couple dancing elegantly to the Punjabi hit song Lamborghini? Well, that was two years ago.
The then-viral couple, also famously called ‘The Dancing Couple’, has come out with their love story and we cannot keep calm. They haven’t just revived the whole charm around dancing and love, but they are making millennials believe in companionship, especially when we didn’t know we needed it.

The couple shared their story of how they met and fell in love with The Humans Of Bombay.
If you’re wondering how you can fall in love with someone else’s love story, without as much as their names, then you are in for a shocker. Read on to know why we are crying happy tears.
From hating on dance to finding a life partner through it, the journey has been fruitful
Starting the story on their mutual love for dance, the gentleman revealed, “I was always a shy kid who hated dancing. Once at a wedding, a friend’s aunt dragged me to dance. I couldn’t coordinate my feet and hoped no one would notice. I was so embarrassed, I decided to enroll in dance classes in college!
The classes were great, but I’d often look at all the couples enjoying themselves and wished I had a real partner … not a random dance partner!”

From meeting at a mutual friend’s party to marriage, this couple is just #goals. “As fate would have it, I met my wife at a mutual friend’s party after college–who would have thought she loved dancing too! We spoke a lot, went on dinners, and started getting to know each other.
And a few months later, we were at a friend’s party when the song ‘Lady in Red’ started playing. That’s when we danced together for the first time, and all I could think about was how much I’d fallen for her! She’d often tell me that I made her feel special and safe when I danced with her, and she loved how I’d always open the door for her!
So a few months later, we were at a restaurant when I asked her, ‘Will you marry me?’ She said, yes, and we went home and woke our parents up immediately to get their blessings. We got married 3 months later.”
“That dancing couple”
They even love being the internet’s ‘that dancing couple’. Talking about life after the wedding day, they say, “After marriage, we even found a shared love for travelling. We’d love to go on 10-hour drives together, without hotel bookings, not knowing where we’d land up. And of course, we’re still ‘that dancing couple’ everywhere we go. We don’t even care if we’re the only ones on the dance floor and we’re making a fool of ourselves– we love it!”

So it was certainly more than one thing bringing them together, and they weren’t afraid to find these things out.
“We also work out together, and every Sunday, we have a family lunch and then play board games. She’s very competitive when it comes to Ludo and Acquire. Whenever I win she’ll say, ‘You’re just too smart. It’s not fair.’ And then I’ll hug her and she scrunches her face up!”
Each marriage comes with its set of problems
The biggest truth about life is that every couple fights, and so does our favourite dancing couple and they are not afraid to own up to it, “Like every couple, we fight too. Usually, I stay quiet when she’s mad. And she loves that softness about me, so we end up laughing after any argument. Then she’ll say, ‘You are the best’, and that’s the only time I raise my voice at her and say, ‘No, you are the best!’ She’s the best!”
And ladies and gentlemen, that is how you maintain a happy, healthy, and wholesome marriage throughout the years.
