00:00 I love India a lot
00:02 and Hardik
00:06 That's sweet
00:08 I learn a lot of Polish language
00:10 and he speaks very well
00:11 so I can manage with her parents, her family in Polish
00:16 Usually I call him honey
00:18 and well to me India was like a dream travel destination I would say
00:27 but we share a lot about food as well because we love food
00:30 like Hardik teaches me to cook Indian dishes
00:33 Hello and a warm welcome viewers
00:36 You are watching One India News with me Arushi Ranjan
00:39 and today we delve into the topic of cross-border relationships
00:44 or we can say cross-border love stories
00:46 Today we have special guests from there only
00:49 Gabriela who is from Poland
00:51 and Hardik who is from India
00:53 has come together into a beautiful married life
00:56 Before we meet them I want to tell you about Indian cuisine
01:00 If we talk about Indian food
01:02 what's a better way to connect with someone else than food?
01:06 And in Indian food the spicy samosas, the chads
01:09 all the junk foods or the Indian cuisine
01:12 it's something which nobody can resist from eating
01:16 and that's what happened with Gabriela I guess
01:18 and Gabriela is right now in India
01:21 and they just married
01:22 their Instagram pictures are going viral
01:24 and we will delve into this interesting conversation
01:28 with the beautiful couple
01:30 So first of all, Gabriela and Hardik, how are you doing?
01:32 How's the married life going?
01:34 Well, it's great
01:37 I mean, I think nothing really changed between us
01:41 Our bond is stronger definitely
01:44 but nothing more than that
01:45 But we have more blessings from our parents
01:48 And I've changed my looks I think
01:50 Oh, I can see you're wearing Indian
01:53 You're looking extremely beautiful, Gabriela
01:56 I love it
01:57 Thank you
01:58 Okay, so the first question which everyone wants to know
02:02 even you shared on Instagram that the media
02:04 which they are showing about your relationship
02:06 is not actually correct
02:08 There is more about it and about your love story
02:11 Like how did you guys meet?
02:13 How did the proposal happen?
02:15 And where did you meet first?
02:16 What I know you guys met in the Netherlands
02:19 where Hardik was working and you were also there
02:22 You met in the Netherlands
02:23 You're from Poland, I know
02:25 but the media is showing that you're from the Netherlands
02:27 I know the wrong information
02:28 Just clear the air here
02:30 It's your time
02:31 Just tell us about your love story
02:33 Yeah, of course
02:34 So we've actually met three years ago
02:37 and it was in Poland
02:38 because Hardik first came to Poland to study
02:42 It was about seven years ago, right?
02:44 Yes, it was seven years ago
02:46 So a lot of his friends stayed there after the study
02:50 but he moved on to work in the Netherlands
02:52 and still kept coming for the friends
02:55 and once he stopped in my hometown
02:58 and because my hometown isn't quite that big
03:01 I was very curious to see some Asian boy
03:04 We met in a cafe
03:07 I speak very good English for like many, many years
03:10 and I decided to help him
03:13 as he had quite a bit misunderstanding there
03:17 After that, we exchanged contacts
03:21 and we chatted on WhatsApp for so, so long
03:24 Yeah, about the proposal
03:26 First, it was a joke
03:28 After this, since we know each other
03:31 we started dating
03:33 and the proper proposal took place in summer 2021
03:38 When Gabi came to the Netherlands for the first time to visit me
03:42 during her summer holidays
03:45 and yeah
03:47 Who proposed first?
03:49 Who took this hard step that now in my town
03:52 we need to give a name to this relationship?
03:55 Who did that?
03:56 It was me
03:57 Of course, it has to be the boy, right?
03:59 Yeah
04:00 So Hardik, you are from Patelpur, Uttar Pradesh, right?
04:04 Yes, basically my family belongs there
04:08 but my birthplace is Kallol right now
04:12 where we are living in Gujarat
04:15 Oh
04:16 Yeah
04:17 You have visited so many places
04:20 either it's India or Poland or Netherlands
04:22 I can say that
04:23 You are such a tourist person on your own
04:26 And Gabriela, you are from Poland
04:28 May I know where exactly you are from Poland?
04:30 I am from Kielce
04:32 It's a town located like in the middle
04:34 between one of the biggest cities
04:36 Warsaw and Krakow
04:38 Okay
04:40 So you guys met, you guys connected
04:42 That's understandable
04:44 But marriage is a thing which is a big deal
04:46 for our parents, our families too
04:49 So I want to know that as your cross-border couple
04:52 how did your parents react
04:54 on knowing that for Hardik
04:56 if I say that my son is going to marry a girl from Poland
05:00 and if Gabriela you say then
05:03 how did your parents react when they got to know that
05:05 leaving this Poland
05:07 my daughter wants to marry someone from India
05:10 an Asian guy as you said
05:12 What was the reaction of both of your parents?
05:14 I want to know one by one please
05:16 Gabriela, ladies first
05:18 Of course
05:19 Well, for us it was like this
05:21 that after we've been dating for about like 3 months
05:24 he came back to Poland to visit me again
05:28 and I just asked my parents that
05:30 there is this boy who I'm chatting with
05:32 we are basically a couple
05:33 and can he come over for a dinner?
05:35 So
05:37 What was the reaction on that?
05:39 It was quite risky
05:41 because my parents are very strict
05:44 and they were very afraid of the big cultural differences
05:48 between us
05:49 but once it got clear they are very supportive
05:51 and they really like Hardik
05:53 and they love our relationship
05:55 soon they are coming to visit us here in India even
05:57 so it goes well after all
06:00 And how did your Indian parents react Hardik?
06:03 Was it typically the Indian reaction?
06:06 Yeah, first of all it was
06:08 but then over the phone was the first conversation
06:11 then I told them that I'm in love with Gabby
06:16 and then I started to be introduced slowly slowly
06:19 because you know in video calls and everything
06:21 then we decided to come to India
06:25 and that's how first time they see her
06:28 and they were really happy to see that
06:31 a foreign girl wants to adopt our culture
06:34 and respectfully and everything was really well
06:37 From my point of view his parents were
06:40 his parents were very open for me
06:42 and I didn't feel kind of nothing wrong
06:45 in our connection with his parents
06:48 so this was really nice
06:50 I'm kind of like that
06:51 they don't make you feel stranger
06:53 No
06:55 So you just said in between the answer
06:58 that you call her Gabby nickname
07:00 Yeah, Gabby
07:02 And what do you call him, Gabriela?
07:05 Usually I call him honey
07:08 Oh, that's sweet
07:11 So Gabriela and Hardik
07:14 the internet is a place where
07:16 everything goes viral in spontaneous situation
07:21 Like we take the recent case of Seema Haider
07:24 who is from Pakistan
07:25 she came all the way to India
07:27 the illegal way she took
07:28 and she married an Indian man
07:30 and then it went viral
07:32 and people are saying that
07:33 this is just for money to go viral
07:35 and also in internet nowadays
07:37 many, if I say mostly the man from India
07:40 and a foreign woman who are married
07:42 they are going viral
07:43 so they say that it's another tool of PR
07:46 another way of going viral on internet
07:49 that people are marrying
07:50 intercultural marriages are happening
07:52 or cross-border relationships are happening
07:54 So what do you say on that?
07:56 What's your take on that?
07:58 Saying people that it's a way of going viral
08:01 where if you guys are in real love
08:03 which I can see
08:04 they would even say that
08:05 now that you are also doing it
08:07 for the popularity on internet
08:09 Well, to be honest
08:11 we didn't mean it at all
08:13 and it was quite a big surprise
08:14 to discover that our pictures are going
08:16 very very viral
08:18 and yeah
08:20 We wanted to do quietly kind of
08:22 not quietly from
08:23 but we want to just keep for family
08:26 and like publish it our way
08:28 because you want to say that it was natural
08:31 the viral thing happened
08:33 you didn't do it
08:35 To be honest with you
08:36 on the morning after our wedding
08:39 we rejected all the interviews
08:40 we had like 2 or 3 journalists coming
08:43 and we rejected to give them any information
08:46 or pictures, anything
08:48 only not to get in this viral condition
08:51 We go slowly with our YouTube content
08:53 because we publish a lot
08:54 under the Spice Masala name
08:56 on the YouTube
08:57 We will go to that topic, yes
08:59 Go slowly slowly with it
09:01 and then suddenly we discovered
09:03 that we are already viral
09:05 without any idea about it
09:08 I am glad you rejected the interviews
09:11 and you are here giving us interview
09:12 Thank you so much
09:13 So, we got to know that
09:16 before your wedding day
09:17 there was a police enquiry, right?
09:19 The police thought that
09:21 Gabriela might be a spy or something
09:24 from the foreign country
09:26 How did you deal with that?
09:28 What happened?
09:29 And I also got to know that
09:30 the police at the end
09:31 left you guys
09:33 knowing that you guys are not doing anything wrong
09:35 What happened exactly?
09:36 Yeah, it was some people in village
09:38 they were curious about
09:39 what is going on and how it is
09:41 Because as you know usually
09:42 when there is a marriage happening in India
09:45 there are present parents and families
09:47 of both of them
09:48 different from couple
09:49 In our case it was different
09:50 It was only her
09:51 So, that's why they are getting curious
09:54 that what's going on
09:55 and how is going
09:57 So, they just report to police
09:59 and next day after wedding
10:01 police was at home
10:02 They took all documents from Gabby
10:05 Then second day I got call from LIU
10:08 which is like this local investigation unit
10:14 which is controlling all foreigners
10:16 They also called
10:17 They came to our place
10:19 They checked her details
10:21 They registered her as well also
10:23 They took sign
10:24 They took our pictures
10:26 But everything was correct
10:27 Because I have 5 year visa holder
10:29 And I am over 18 obviously
10:31 So, like
10:32 And also if you are right
10:35 Then you don't need to fear about
10:37 anyone or anything
10:39 Why not except police?
10:40 Because you guys are right
10:41 Okay, so Gabriela
10:44 It was your first time
10:46 to our beautiful India
10:48 How are you feeling?
10:49 And one thing I wanna ask
10:51 One thing which you find in India
10:53 that is so beautiful
10:54 but you don't find that in Netherlands
10:56 or Poland
10:57 Whichever country you wanna pick
10:58 where you have lived most
11:00 And one thing which you think
11:01 is not good here
11:02 but it's good in Poland or Netherlands
11:04 What is that?
11:06 Oh, well
11:07 First of all I'd like to correct you
11:08 I am sorry
11:09 But this is not my first time
11:10 I am here for the third time
11:13 Oh, I didn't know that
11:14 Thanks
11:15 It's fine, of course
11:17 And well
11:19 To me, India was like a
11:21 dream travel destination
11:23 I would say
11:24 I dreamed to visit India
11:25 for like many, many years
11:26 Before even I met Hardik
11:29 So, I remember that
11:32 my first time was really, really exciting
11:34 And I couldn't just wait to come here
11:37 Then of course
11:38 the thing about meeting his family
11:40 added up more to it
11:42 What is great about India?
11:45 I would say that I love
11:47 I love the atmosphere in India
11:50 Like the colors
11:52 and the culture
11:53 and like the
11:55 the positive
11:57 Yes, of course the cultures
11:58 You are saying
12:00 In your wedding or marriage also
12:02 Indian culture has a lot of traditions
12:05 You might have done that
12:07 And that's so interesting to do
12:09 I must say
12:10 Did you enjoy that in your wedding?
12:12 Oh, so much
12:14 So much
12:15 Actually, favorite day of my wedding
12:17 except of course the wedding rituals
12:20 was Haldi
12:21 Haldi was great
12:23 All the family members
12:24 made me feel that
12:26 I am part of this family
12:28 So, it was awesome
12:30 And then of course
12:31 the wedding rituals itself
12:32 like taking the seven rounds
12:34 or just exchanging the garlands
12:38 It was awesome experience
12:39 We don't have that much
12:41 warm, I would say
12:43 ceremonies in Europe
12:45 We wish you a very happy married life
12:48 Gabriel and Hardik
12:49 It's so nice to talk to you
12:51 Let's talk about your YouTube channel
12:53 The Spicy Masala
12:55 It sounds spicy in itself
12:57 So, Hardik and Gabriel
12:59 As I was talking initially
13:00 about the Indian food
13:02 It's something which nobody can resist about
13:04 So tasty and so delicious
13:06 So, as an inter-culture
13:09 or inter-border relationship
13:11 which we are sharing
13:12 There are a lot of things
13:14 which you could have done on
13:16 Why did you choose food
13:18 to go with on your YouTube channel?
13:20 What made you think about
13:22 opening a YouTube channel on food
13:24 or Indian cuisine?
13:25 Or do you share all the cuisine there?
13:27 What it is about?
13:28 Please tell us or our viewers
13:30 so that they can subscribe to you
13:32 and they will also enjoy more
13:34 Yeah, of course
13:35 So, we share mostly about
13:37 travel and lifestyle content
13:39 Usually, those are travel vlogs
13:41 But we share a lot about food as well
13:43 because we love food
13:44 Hardik teaches me to cook Indian dishes
13:47 And Indian cuisine is like
13:49 the main cuisine in our home for sure
13:52 Okay
13:54 Who is the biggest foodie among you both?
13:57 Who eats more?
13:59 It's hard
14:01 It doesn't seem
14:03 But he eats much more
14:05 Yeah, because when I moved to Europe
14:07 It's hard to get Indian food
14:09 Then I started to learn how to cook
14:12 And yeah, slowly, slowly
14:14 it's spicing up everything
14:16 What's your favorite cuisine in the world, Hardik?
14:19 You have roamed around the world
14:22 What's your favorite?
14:24 Yeah
14:25 In the world, I would say
14:27 still I will go with Indian dishes, Dosa
14:29 But in Europe
14:31 Yeah, only for Europe
14:33 I would say
14:35 I tried Italian pizza
14:37 It's really delicious
14:38 But the proper Italian, right?
14:40 But from Italy
14:41 Proper Italian pizza
14:43 Okay
14:44 And Gabriela, what's your favorite cuisine in the world?
14:47 Except for Indian again
14:50 I would say Mediterranean
14:52 Okay
14:54 So, Gabriela and Hardik
14:56 as we were talking about your family
14:58 So, you both have a different language
15:00 But for a common conversation
15:02 You use English
15:04 But the families
15:06 What do you speak in Poland, Gabriela?
15:08 What's the language your family uses?
15:10 Polish
15:11 It's Polish
15:12 And in India, of course, Hindi
15:14 So, how do your parents communicate?
15:17 You both are communicating well
15:19 I can see that
15:20 But how do the parents communicate?
15:22 I want to know that
15:24 Yeah, with Gabi's parents
15:26 I can speak Polish
15:27 Because as we told
15:29 I was there for one year or something in Poland
15:31 I learned a lot of Polish language
15:33 And he speaks very well
15:35 So, I can manage with her parents
15:38 Her family in Polish
15:40 But here in India
15:42 With my parents, it's a little bit hard
15:44 I speak English
15:46 They try to understand as much as they can
15:48 And I speak a little bit of Hindi
15:51 A little bit of Hindi
15:53 When you speak a little bit of Hindi
15:55 Please say something in Hindi
15:56 Just one line
15:58 How much have you caught up in these years?
16:02 I speak very little
16:04 I love India and Hardik in Hindi
16:09 I love India a lot
16:15 Yes, yes, please go on
16:17 And Hardik
16:19 That's sweet
16:21 Gabriela and Hardik
16:23 It was so nice talking to you
16:25 Thank you so much for joining in
