As they spent more and more time with together as friends, they had a spark from the beginning and when they were in the final year, Sundar proposed to Anjali and she said yes. He said,

“I met Anjali at IIT-K and she was my classmate. Just to go get someone at the girl’s hostel, you had to walk in the front and request someone to call them. And they’d go in and loudly say – Anjali, Sundar is here. It wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience.”

Pichai recalls how hard was for him to talk to Anjali without a smartphone. But the thing is after graduation, he went to the U.S for further studies and she was still in India which led them not to talk for about 6 months but the distance led to more growing feelings.
