Rapido bike ride leads to love for choreographer Ekta Kaushal and athlete Parth Chamaria

An ordinary bike ride booked on Rapido became the start of the relationship between Ekta Kaushal and Parth Chamaria. What began as a conversation between a passenger and a driver turned into a love story. The two now also support each other in their careers. A video of the couple is going viral on social media and is drawing much attention.

The couple spoke openly about their relationship in a video shared on Instagram, in which both recounted their journey. Ekta, a choreographer, said she had no idea her first Rapido ride would become such an important turning point in her life. In the video she said, "I did not know this would change my life."

During the ride, Ekta learnt that Parth is a sportsperson who has represented India. Money was tight and he had to keep up his sporting career while meeting his own expenses, so he had started working as a Rapido driver. Parth's dedication to his sport left a deep impression on Ekta.

The ride had ended, yet thoughts of Parth kept coming back to Ekta. That same night she decided to get in touch with him. Ekta said, "He dropped me at my destination, but I kept thinking about him." Ekta took the initiative and sent Parth a message.

Conversation led to more meetings. Both had very busy schedules. Parth had to make time for his training, while Ekta was occupied with rehearsals and choreography work. Despite this hectic routine, they kept meeting and got to know each other better.

Ekta said, "We began meeting often. In the time between his training and my rehearsals, we would steal a few moments for each other. During these meetings, we became a strong support for each other."

As the relationship deepened, both continued to move towards their professional goals. Last year, Parth represented India at a world championship. Ekta, meanwhile, got the chance to work with several Bollywood stars, including Ranveer Singh.

The couple say this journey helped them move forward together and that they have always backed each other's dreams. For Ekta, what began as an ordinary ride proved to be an unexpected and beautiful turn in her life.
