Now, the most important fact is that Ravinder Singh’s "I too had a love story" is a real life narration of an Infoscion who fell in love with Khushi, experienced a wonderful love life, successfully convinced families on both sides, decided to get engaged and as fate had it, lost his dearest darling to a road accident 5 days before the date of engagement.
