TV actor Chetan Hansraj and wife Lavinia chat about the path their love story has taken and how their son has made life complete
Chetan Hansraj and wife Lavinia’s love story is like one of those romantic comedy films. Like a decade ago, Chetan fought with his friends and decided to go clubbing alone. And that’s where life changed for him.
“At the club I spotted an old friend of mine. Lavinia was with that friend. I got talking to them and with Lavinia too and we all got along like a house on fire. After sometime a girl came next to me and said hello. And suddenly Lavinia told me to go and hang out with her. I was a little taken aback with her response. But somehow that was the first sign that she really liked me,” Chetan says.
That night Lavinia dropped Chetan home with a promise that they would be meeting for dinner within a few days on a Sunday. “I used to play cricket then and Sundays were no exception. After the game I was dog tired and went home. Suddenly I got a call from her and realised that I conveniently forgot about the dinner plan. I apologised and we went for our first date,” he adds.
Their conversations and partying together went on for quite some time until one particular night that they went clubbing. “Lavinia met an old friend and got talking. I found myself getting very jealous. I realised what I felt for her was more than friendship and we actually had our first fight.”
Since Chetan was struggling in his career, he could not afford to buy her a diamond ring. “I made a ring out of silver foil and gave it to her. Tears were rolling down her cheeks and she told me that it meant more than a real ring,” he recalls.
In 2004, the duo decided to get married and their families gave their consent to it too.
Two years later their son Ethan was born. “When a child comes into your life, you sort of ‘lose’ your wife to the child since all her attention is on him. But at the end it’s a beautiful feeling. Having a family — a loving wife and adorable son is nothing short of eternal happiness,” smiles Chetan.
Lavinia echoes the same. “From lovers to husband and wife, our relationship has evolved over time. And it’s a beautiful evolution,” she says.
