Isha Koppikar’s Marriage With Timmy Narang

Timmy and Isha connected by accident. Isha and Timmy initially came into contact with one another during one of their gym sessions. They immediately clicked and swapped phone numbers. The pair enjoyed communicating with one another on their phones even though they rarely met in person. Isha gushed: Our phone calls were a key element of our relationship since I got to know him in and out that way. Our meetings were also extremely infrequent; in fact we only met once a year.

If Preity Zinta hadn't intervened Isha and Timmy would have continued in this manner for years. Preity informed Isha that she knows a wonderful individual who is ideal for her. To everyone's shock this individual turned out to be none other than Timmy. Isha and Timmy came to the realization that they could be more than just buddies at this point. When you have known someone for a very long time as a friend it can be a bit difficult to move from friends to lovers. It was both funny and a little awkward for Isha and Timmy. Isha invited her girl gang out because she believed Timmy wouldn't show up on their first date. She had no choice but to take Timmy when he called.

Isha Koppikar remembers: Timmy was more than happy to spend the evening with my friends because he fit in perfectly. I never got a call from him so I made plans with my friends. And when he finally called my date ended up being a gathering of 20 of my friends! In a situation like this anyone would have lost his cool but Timmy was more than happy to spend the evening with my friends.

Says Isha I was taking my hospitality training in the US on Valentine's Day at the time. I was living away from home and I was obviously very much missing Timmy. I also remember we never got time to talk to each other due to our separate schedules. But when I saw him in the US standing in front of my door with a bouquet of flowers and gifts I was in for a wonderful surprise. When I saw him standing outside my door I had tears streaming down my face and was ecstatic beyond measure.

In June 2008 Isha and Jimmy began dating. On November 29 2009 they got married. Isha received the most romantic and out of the ordinary proposal ever. Isha said with joy:Timmy got on his hands and knees and proposed to me. It was romantic coming from a guy who lives in a Mr. Bean and Mickey Mouse universe. Champagne candles and roses are not his idea of a romantic ambiance; Disneyland is! In July 2014 the couple welcomed a baby girl they named Rianna.
