Bobby Deol and Tanya Ahuja’s love story

Bobby laid his eyes on Tanya at the Italian cafe, Trattoria in Hotel President. She was there with her brother and their friends, and Bobby, too, had a few acquaintances from Tanya’s group. After the first meeting, Bobby and Tanya kept bumping into each other. It was love at first sight for Bobby, and he decided to chase her. Recalling a funny incident from their love story, Tanya once revealed:

“I went to play cards during the Diwali season at Chunky’s (Panday) house, and Bobby came and he sat with me and we played cards at the same table. He kept losing to me, but he wouldn’t pay me, he kept saying he’d take me out for a meal. I was like ‘what’s wrong with this guy?”

She further revealed that Bobby had called her at an absurd hour of the night, and since she was fast asleep, she didn’t entertain his call. On the next day, Tania had called all her friends but didn’t get any idea, who had called her. However, on the other side, Bobby had thought her to be a ‘snooty girl’ for ignoring his call. But as destiny would have it, when Bobby called her again at a normal hour, they had ended up talking for seven hours.
