Imran's mother had always warned him against marrying an English girl. But here he was – helplessly in love with this English girl who was over twenty years younger to him.

They say love has no boundaries, no measures. It recognizes no religion, no caste or creed. So was the love of Imran and Jemima. That very year, Imran proposed Jemima and sought her hand in marriage.

The couple faced opposition from all corners. Both Jemima and Imran's family and social circles were apprehensive of the match.

But the love struck couple waved aside all trepidation and married in a traditional Islamic ceremony in Paris on 16th May, 1995.
