Pardeep and I felt an instant connection the first time we met: Manasi Naik

Actress and dancer Manasi

Naik

recently took to social media to announce that she is in a relationship with pro boxer Pardeep Kharera. “This year I decided to gift myself with Love and commitment. Guess what I found Me. A hardworking, devoted, loyal and committed soul ! Yes I am in love @pardeepkharera1 Welcome to My world (sic),” she wrote with a photo of hers with Pardeep.
Speaking to us,

Manasi

shared, “Pardeep and I

met

through a mutual friend and felt an instant connection. I’m an absolute film buff and a die-hard romantic. I had always imagined my partner to be like a Bollywood hero. And Pardeep is similar to Salman Khan’s character Sameer from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, which also happens to be my favourite movie.”
So, is a wedding on the cards soon? “We definitely want to get married, but

we

haven’t decided on a date or anything else for that matter yet. We are serious about each other and our parents know about our relationship since day one. Discussions about marriage have been going on between our families. Hopefully, they will meet soon and take things ahead,” added Manasi.
On asking Pardeep about his ladylove, he said that they both are different but similar. “Though Manasi is a Maharashtrian and I’m a North Indian, our food choices are almost similar. In fact, we are similar in many ways. She is extremely caring and helps me stay motivated towards my goals,” shared Pardeep.
