30 Aug
Summary
- Nauheed and Rustom's love began with childhood badminton games.
- Facebook played a role in Rustom making the first move.
- The couple experienced two miscarriages before adopting a dog.
Actor Nauheed Cyrusi's relationship with Rustom Contractor was not a whirlwind romance but a slow burn, starting in their childhood colony. Badminton became their initial connection, though a seven-year age gap meant they weren't close friends initially.
Their bond deepened over time, with Facebook playing a pivotal role when Rustom returned from abroad, leading him to make the first move. After nearly three years of dating, they married in a private Parsi ceremony in January 2017.
Cyrusi has emphasized that respect and trust are cornerstones of their marriage, contrasting with possessiveness. She noted their differing professions provided healthy space, allowing them to maintain individual worlds while cherishing their shared one.
The couple faced significant heartbreak, experiencing two miscarriages, one in 2018 and another during the Covid period. These experiences led them to adopt a rescue dog, Jojo, and redirected their focus towards animal welfare.
