Suhasini's love story began in an unexpected way through Facebook. She revealed that she had no interest in social media until a friend encouraged her to create an account to explore more work opportunities.

While browsing the platform, she came across Atul Gurtu's profile and decided to send him a friend request. That simple online interaction marked the beginning of a relationship that would eventually lead to marriage.

Curiosity Sparked Their First Conversation

What caught Suhasini's attention was Atul's work as a physicist associated with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), one of the world's biggest scientific projects. Intrigued, she sent him a message asking a simple question: "What is LHC?"

That conversation gradually turned into a friendship, and over time, the two discovered a strong bond that blossomed into love.
