Mumbai woman fell in love with Rapido driver. Years later, she worked with Ranveer Singh and he represented India at World Championship. How a simple bike ride changed their lives forever

Some love stories begin unexpectedly and endure the test of time. Like the wise men say: It’s all written in the cards. Such is the story of Mumbai-based couple Ekta Kaushlya and Parth Chamaria. Ekta, a choreographer by profession who has even worked with Bollywood celebrities like Ranveer Singh, fell in love with Parth, a Rapido driver who eventually went on to represent India at a world championship. Interestingly, it all started when Ekta booked her first-ever Rapido ride in the city and struck up a candid conversation with him.

Ekta didn’t know that her first Rapido ride would become the start of their forever journey. The couple’s journey was recently featured on the Instagram page of the Official People of India.

A Rapido ride turned into a love story

Ekta, recalling their first meeting with Parth, revealed that she was nervous to book the ride at first but went with the decision anyway. After she got on the bike, the two struck up a conversation, learning more about each other. Ekta learned that Parth was an athlete who had taken up work as a Rapido driver due to financial difficulties. He had also represented India.


Parth told Ekta during the ride that driving Rapido helped him support his dreams, to pursue his ambitions of becoming a professional athlete. His struggle story left a deep impact on Ekta, who was impressed by his dedication and passion. After Parth dropped her off at her destination, she continued thinking about him.

How Ekta and Parth grew closer

After much thought, Ekta finally mustered up the courage to text Parth on the same night. This marked the beginning of their friendship and eventual partnership. They juggled hectic schedules, meeting each other amid Parth’s training sessions and Ekta’s dance rehearsals. Every conversation brought them closer to each other.

Mumbai couple's life now

Gradually, both Ekta and Parth succeeded in their respective careers. While Parth represented India at the 2025 World Championship, Ekta got an opportunity to perform alongside Bollywood stars, including Ranveer Singh. Throughout their professional careers, they never stopped supporting each other’s dreams and ambitions.
