Honeymoon stories from Indian TV’s popular couple, Vivek and Divyanka, show that an old destination can seem brand new when looked through the eyes of someone you love

I had to move to London. I’d just spent four and half years in Cardiff, getting my bachelor’s degree in business administration, and the way I saw it, small Cardiff – on South Coast of Wales – was a bit like my hometown, Chandigarh. Lovely, but small. And I wanted to be in a big city. A metropolis. A vibrant, cosmopolitan city oozing culture and style. So I had to move to London.
