I especially liked the fact that you are a teacher. Everything you said that night made me feel welcome. As an international student, your hospitality was so nice. You have always been nice to me. I felt like the time spent with you would be nice and fun, and you like to work on things. I also like your family.'
The importance of family
Candace interjects, asking, 'Yeah, who, dad?' to which Aniket laughs and continues, 'Yes, I was really happy when I talked to them and got to know them. I got a really friendly vibe and thought this is a really good family, and I want to be with a good family. So maybe that is why.'
Candace ends the exchange with a smile, saying, 'Oh, that's sweet, honey. I think he married because of my dad.'

Raj Kundra offers kidney to Premanand Maharaj, gets trolled: ‘Strange world we live in'
Amid Rs 60 crore fraud allegations, actor Shilpa Shetty and her husband, Raj Kundra, visited spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan. A video of their visit was shared online on the guru's official channels. In the video, Raj offers one of his kidneys to the guru, whose own two kidneys are compromised. His statement quickly went viral, with many calling it a PR stunt. Premanand Maharaj also counts actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli as his disciples. In a video shared by the YouTube channel Bhajan Marg, Raj Kundra can be heard saying, 'I have been following you since the past two years. You have been all over social media. When I was coming here, I was constantly thinking 'What do I question him?' And whatever questions appeared in my head, you would answer them through Instagram. Today's youth and the entire society has been following you. Your teachings are so helpful. Right now, I have no questions to ask. But, I do know that you have a failed kidney since the past two decades, I just want to say if I can ever be a help to you then I want to donate a kidney of mine to you.' Premanand replied with a laugh, 'Please, no. You stay healthy and happy… that's all I want. By God's grace, I am doing just fine.' ALSO READ | Malaika Arora says people 'pointed fingers' at her, called her 'selfish' after divorce from Arbaaz Khan: 'Co-parenting isn't easy' Raj Kundra's offering, however, was labeled a PR move. After severe backlash, Raj took to his social media handles to share a note addressing his trolls. He wrote, 'Strange world we live in when someone chooses to offer a part of themselves to save another's life, it's mocked as a PR stunt. If compassion is a stunt, may the world see more of it. If humanity is a strategy, may more people adopt it. I'm not defined by labels the media or trolls throw at me. My past does not cancel my present choices, and my present intentions are not for you to measure with your cynicism.' He concluded his note with the line, 'Judge less, love more you might just save a life too.' This, too, received backlash with many trolling him for his current association with Rs 60 crore fraud. It is reported that Raj and Shilpa have defrauded a Mumbai-based businessman for nearly Rs 61 crore. However, in a statement, the couple called the allegations 'baseless and malicious.'
