Sometimes, the best love stories begin with a travel mishap. Just ask Shriya Saran, who opened up about meeting her husband Andrei Koscheev in the most unexpected way. On the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show aired on Netflix, the actor shared a heartfelt and humorous anecdote about how a booking error led her to the love of her life during a solo trip to the Maldives.

After a booking error sent Shriya Saran alone to the Maldives, the actor revealed how she and her husband Andrei Koscheev bonded during the trip and later married in 2018.

“I had booked the wrong flight in the wrong month and ended up alone on a cruise to the South of the Maldives, and that’s where I met Andrei,” Shriya recalled at the show.

She added that despite knowing nothing about each other at the time, they bonded over new experiences on the trip. “The first film of mine he ever watched was Drishyam, and he got scared after that,” she joked, sparking laughter from the audience.
