Indian Gay Couple

Sameer Samudra and Amit Gokhale Gay Couple
                   Here is a side to a regular love and wedding story, which you don’t hear quite often in India. This is not one of those regular boy meets girl, love happens, flowers blossom, violins play and they get married. This story is of two men and their love… for one another!
                 Meet Sameer Samudra and Amit Gokhale an Indian gay couple, settled in the United States, who had the courage to come out of their closets, declare their sexuality to their families and the world, and got married according to traditional Maharashtrian customs.For this beautiful couple, the only thing that matters is to hold each other’s hand

through thick and thin. They are both very different people– Amit is very organised while Sameer is very impulsive.  We are like yin and yang and maybe that is why we get along well with each other. After a long battle with homophobia and overcoming many other hurdles, they are together; and here is their exclusive heartwarming love story.

                      Amit was looking for a male friend on Gay Bombay’s mailing list and Sameer responded. Although neither of them knew that they would find soul mates in each other, they spoke on the phone for a couple of months for at least three hours every day.
               After getting to know each other as friends for good enough 5-6 months, the two slowly realised that they cared for each other and like each other’s company.Gradually, the bond between them started moving beyond friendship. And, they were both ready to take their relationship to the next level.
               Sameer Amit, then a student in Cleveland, Ohio, mustered up the courage to ask Sameer out on a date. It was he who planned a very romantic evening at a cozy Mexican restaurant. He even designed a cute e-invite for Sameer to ask him out. Amit even bought flowers and card for Sameer. Sameer was extra touched by Amit’s efforts because, “In spite of his student status, he  did all these things and that mattered to me a lot. I was very touched to see his love and affection. That evening was very touching, emotional and
special for the two. And more so, because the young lovers shared their first kiss that very evening. That beautiful date lit a spark that got these two together.
