Seven years ago Ramachandra met Surekha for the first time in a feast in the Kulad village in Bhanjanagar area. From the first sight only both of them started loving each other.

Surekha was unmarried. Both of them used to talk over the phone and also met sometimes. Finally, Ramachandra proposed to marry Surekha and Surekha agreed to his proposal. Accordingly, they got married in Bhanjanagar Court on 19^th July in presence of Surekha’s father, brother and nephews and nieces.
