This holds true even when it comes to marriage and interpersonal relationships.”
The proud father, Milind Gunaji spoke up about getting a new member to the family. He said, "Radha is more like a daughter to us than a daughter-in-law.

Weddings are said to be magical as they are remembered throughout one’s life. Talking from his experience, Abhishek Gunaji said, “Mangalashtaka sung during the garland exchange ceremony (would be the most special moment). Although I have heard them in the past, the verses and music overwhelmed me since it made me realise what an important step I'm taking in my life with someone I love.”
