When Vyshnavee met her husband Thiru, it was their easy banter that hooked her in.

We both overpromised our physical attributes in an email. It led to love

Vyshnavee and Thiru met on a blind date in 2011 through a mutual friend. Vyshnavee described herself as having the physique of a female bodybuilder and Thiru claimed to be a dark-skinned Brad Pitt. Both exaggerations, but it still led to love. They first met at Grasshopper Bar in Sydney's CBD and have been together for over a decade.

Their differing upbringings - Thiru grew up in Sydney's Northern Beaches, while Vyshnavee came from Western Sydney - created a strong sense of friendship and emotional security. Despite their differences in appearance and interests, their relationship has been a unique bond that has persisted through various challenges.
