Some love stories are written in the cards. Others are made true by a dog. Don’t believe us? Then Aadu and Mayy, a Mumbai-based couple, can change your mind. Their love story is nothing but filmy, subtly resembling the 1994 Bollywood film Hum Aapke Hain Koun, featuring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit in the lead. Much like in the critically and commercially successful movie, where a dog named Tuffy helped Salman and Madhuri’s characters reunite and get married, Aadu and Mayur also fell in love when their pet Labrador Tipu played cupid.
Marathi woman was left heartbroken after dog’s death
As per a report by the Humans of Bombay, Aadu was from Maharashtra, while her now-husband, Mayur, was a proper Marwari. Their love story started blossoming in 2016 when Aadu was mourning the loss of her pet dog, leaving her completely shattered.
Worried about her mental health, Aadu’s parents took her to a society function so that she at least steps outside of her house. And that’s where she met Mayur’s mother, who came up to Aadu and told her that they were looking to adopt a dog.
A few months later, the family adopted a Labrador puppy and named him Tipu. Aadu started going over to Mayur’s house to help take care of the animal and that’s how she started talking with Mayur. He lived just a few floors above hers. At that time, Mayur was a marine engineer, away on ships for 6 months.

However, Aadu gave regular updates about Tipu and his family to Mayur through quick calls, 20-25-word satellite emails, or sometimes even a little code just to understand each other. Over time, they fell in love and Aadu grew close to Mayur’s family too.
Although Mayur once tried to confess his feelings to Aadu over email, she urged him to return from his professional duties first and then they could talk about things properly. When he returned, both of them admitted that they loved each other and after 3 years of dating, Mayur finally asked her hand for marriage on a yacht and Aadu’s answer was a resounding yes. Their families also agreed to their reunion wholeheartedly.
In 2021, Aadu and Mayur tied the knot in a big fat wedding following both Maharastrian and Marwari rituals, bridging the gap between both cultures. Now, they celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi and Gudi with equal zeal. What started with a dog gave Aadu a family, a home and a love she never saw coming.
