There is nothing wrong with the way you are, Dimple.
I love you. That's all I know.
I'm not a girl who chases boys, but I'm starting to understand the appeal.
You're not some random girl, Dimple. Not to me.
I'm not sure I believe in love. But I believe in you and me.
I don't want to fit someone else's mold of the perfect Indian girl.
It's not like I'm going to marry him. I'm not stupid.
You're too smart and independent to make such a foolish decision.
Just because you have a different idea of romance doesn't mean you don't deserve it.
I'm your biggest fan, Dimple. You just have to get used to it.
You're not like anyone else I've ever met. I love that about you.
I want to be with you, Dimple. And not just because I love you, but because I can't imagine my life without you in it.
