“Lockdown Unlocking Stories. Welcome to my world, In Kasauli, watching Chitrahaar on Jalandhar DD, the program was suddenly interrupted by a young Sikh gentleman. He spoke for 2-3 mins in between the 5-6 Hindi film songs. I was so upset. Who was this person who had interrupted my dose of filmi songs? He kept coming back every week, irritating me more. After sometime when he wouldn’t go away, I said, ‘Chalo, let’s listen to what he’s saying’. And when I heard him, my brains were blown away. It was nothing like I had seen or heard before. This was my first introduction to Mr Jaspal Bhatti 😊 Not the last as months later, my uncle who worked in UT with my father in law suggested the match to my father. My father was ecstatic. ‘Munda SDO hai te cartoonist vi'”

Savita Bhatti further wrote that both the families agreed on the match and they got engaged in March 1985. She also revealed that her students had final exams at that time, so she carried their answer sheets with her for her wedding. Apparently, she prepared the report cards in the midst of her sangeet.
