"Our chemistry is outstanding. She understands that I am a little bit of a prankster. I have a habit of joking around and sometimes people don't understand my jokes. They might get offended sometimes, but she instantly understood the kind of person I am and laughed at every point.

"She completely understands me in that sense. I love her for that," he said.

The Mukesh family is joyous about the new addition, who has won their hearts "with her simplicity and upbringing".
