It was last year on December 03, 2017 when popular Indian television actress, Aashka Goradia and her long-time boyfriend, Brent Goble walked down the aisle in Ahmedabad. Theirs was a two-wedding affair- first, a white Christian wedding and second, a lavish Gujarati wedding. In almost two weeks from today, Aashka and Brent are going to complete one year of marital togetherness. Ahead of their first marriage anniversary, the couple is having a gala time in the Maldives.

Aashka and Brent have been updating their fans on social media with delightful photos and videos from their pre-anniversary vacay in the Maldives. One of the videos shared by Aashka, in which the hubby is literally lifting his wifey, would remind you of your childhood swimming sessions. And captioning it rightfully, Aashka wrote, “@ibrentgoble. Two more weeks to #firstanniversary. You have done everything but mainly you have lifted me up above so much. Literally too! I love you yo.”
It seems that Brent has turned teacher for Aashka as the following photo suggests which the former shared and adorably worded it as, “We couldn’t waste the perfect backdrop. She gets better every time we practice. #yoga #beachyoga #yogateacher #yogainspiration #yogamotivation #handstands #armbalance #arabiansea #maldives #tajhotels @aashkagoradia @tajmaldives.”

Recently, talking to the official ‘Humans of Bombay’, Brent revealed his love story with the Laagi Tujhse Lagan actress. Sharing how he met her for the first time, he said, “2 years ago, she decided to fly down to Vegas. On her last night there, she told me later, she felt as though she had to go to Hakkasan - ‘something there was going to change her life.’ And there I was... waiting for my colleagues. When she walked in, I saw her & I just had to approach her. But when I did, she was cautious & cold. So, I kept on talking to her friend until she realised how approachable I was. I guess she couldn’t resist! At the end of the night, we exchanged numbers. Then she had to leave- it was one of those long goodbyes that just keeps you wanting more.”
He further added, “We kept talking for a month until she decided to visit me again. I’d also just come out of a relationship then, so we were open to exploring this spark between us. She flew in & we spent the week together in Vegas- it was love. Immediately after, I left for Colorado to visit my family. I told my dad ‘I met someone.’ His reaction was ‘Really? Again?’ They wanted me to be cautious after my last heartbreak. But I assured them that they’d love her! So I brought her home to meet my parents. In the 1st 30 mins, my mom took her to our porch to chat & my dad said ‘Oh... she’s different.’ They saw it too! Later, my parents told us that our relationship couldn’t be an ‘either/or.’ We had to be sure & there couldn’t be a backup. I thought about it- she has a great career, I couldn’t take her away from that! Besides, why must it be the lady who has to move?” (To read their full story, click here)
Even Aashka has always remained vocal about her love for Brent. Post their wedding last year, she took to her Instagram handle and wrote, “ibrentgoble Strangers to acquaintances to boyfriend and girlfriend to fiancé and now to HUSBAND AND WIFE! We've had beautiful moments in the last one and a half year but a new chapter has just begun! As our first trip after the wedding is about to end, I realise my world has only enhanced its beauty...And in this forthcoming journey of a lifetime...I am so happy and proud to now be known as Mrs Brent Goble! #FirstPicAfterWedding.”
In an interview, Brent revealed how perfectly Aashka and he complement each other and retorted, “She is exactly the kind of person I was looking for as a life partner. We both complement each other in many ways. Aashka has brought patience in life. She has an open mindset given her experience. But the most important thing is that we both have strong family values.”
Talking to a leading media house, Aashka once spilt the most romantic moment she has had with Brent and shared, “It happened in Colorado when he went down on his knees to propose to me. He picked up lines from Melluha, my favourite book--- and said a few lines interspersing them with names all the important people in my life. That shows how well he has accepted not just me but all those who matter to me. Here boys don't want to give their gym time to their wife, and this man is not rigid- he is ready to change his eating habits live in a different climate, learn new languages. In fact, he has already started sacrificing so much in order to adjust here. Actually, kaafi changes aa bhi gaye hain.”
When Aashka decided to go for her lip surgery in 2016, it was Brent who supported her immensely. Speaking reverently of him about the same, the 32-year-old actress revealed, “My husband (Brent Goble) made me realise that there is nothing to hide. Yes, people will shame you but there is nothing to be ashamed of. I wanted to do something to my face, and that’s my choice. And I know that opening up sometimes is the only way to shut people up.” (Don't Miss: Isha Ambani's In-Laws Gift Her A 450 Crore Bungalow To Start Her Married Life With Anand Piramal)
