New Delhi: Rahul Dev gave love another chance when he met Mugdha Godse at a common friend’s wedding in 2013 and fell in love with her over a period of time. The actor had lost his wife Rina to cancer in 2009 and thought he would never fall in love again, but destiny had other plans.
While making an appearance on Zee TV show Pro Music Countdown, Rahul recalled the initial phase of his relationship with Mugdha.
“It was not love at first sight, but we became friends at a common friend’s wedding. Throughout all the functions, we were together and we bonded really well. Post that, we started meeting each other, got close and fell madly in love. I must say, I am very lucky,” said Rahul.
The Bollywood actor said that although he didn’t have any issue with the huge age gap between them, he was worried for Mugdha. But looks like things went in their favour ultimately.
“We have a nearly 14 year age gap and it did worry me, but then I realised that my parents had an age gap of 10 years too. So it’s not that big a gap! Also, I believe that till the time you are happy, age difference and everything else shouldn’t be an issue,” he added.
Rahul was married for 11 years and at the time of his wife’s death, his son Siddharth was only 10.
Rahul Dev and Mugdha Godse have also worked together in a television show titled Power Couple in 2015.
