Baad mein Twitter pe agaya ki mera account hai, phir maine bola ki 'Yeh accha nahi lagega'. Usko nahi pata abhi tak, ab pata chal raha. Woh bichari usko pata bhi nahi kya hota hai Tinder. Ab pata chalgaya, open yaar, usme kya hai? Cheezein karni hai toh thok k karo phir. Kitna main sab cheeze jod sakta hoon yaar (I used to match with people, spoke too. It's very weird. I like talking, and you can talk in depth with women…I used to talk a lot. I spoke with 2-3 people, it was nice. Then it was on Twitter that I had an account, and I thought, 'This won't look good'. She (wife) didn't know it, now she will know. It's open, what's there? If you want to do something, do it unabashedly. How can I handle everything)?" Abhijeet and Shilpa got married in 2007.
