They thought that she might not be able to adjust with his culture and that it would might not work.

She further added that marriage is anyway a gamble, no matter if you are in love with your partner or not. With refeshing candour, she also added that there is no guarantee that it will work out since great friends always do not make great partners.

Renuka and Ashutosh are parents to boys Shouryaman and Satyendra Rana.
