From school crush to wife: Ravichandran Ashwin and Prithi's beautiful love story

Ravichandran Ashwin and Prithi Narayanan tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony on November 13, 2011.

The couple welcomed their first child in 2015 and are currently parents of two little girls.

In her recent interview, Prithi revealed the back story of her love life with Ashwin.

Speaking on AJIO Match Center Live's 'Hangout' show on JioCinema, she said that Ashwin had a crush on her since his school days.

The event was hosted by Sania Mirza, Veda Krishnamurthy and Danish Sai.

"We went to the same middle school together. That's how we got introduced to each other. But then, we grew up and met as adults again. I was working at an events company," recalled Prithi.

"He moved schools to pursue cricket and we were in touch on and off, birthdays, neighbourhood, like that." she added.

I met him again when I was handling CSK's account and suddenly I saw him as a six-footer. We knew each other from Grade 7," she concluded.

Prithi further also revealed how Ashwin proposed to her and said:

"Once he took me to a cricket ground and he's a straight shooter. He said, 'I've kinda liked you all my life and it hasn't changed over 10 years. We're adults and let's try this'."

Later in the show, Prithi also played a unique game of chess with the hosts to find out about her relationship with her husband, Ashwin.
