A Love Story Built on Music and a Forgotten DM

Singer Stebin Ben and Nupur Sanon's love story began with music, Instagram and a direct message (DM) that went unnoticed for nearly four years. He revealed that he first reached out to Nupur in 2016 for a collaboration, long before their friendship turned into a relationship.

Sharing Their Story on Double Date

Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben recently appeared on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's "Double Date," where the couple opened up about how they first met and how a simple Instagram interaction eventually turned into a relationship.

A Shared Love for Music

Stebin shared, "We had a mutual love for music. Nupur is a classically trained musician and singer, and I haven't taken any formal training, but I used to sing," highlighting the different musical backgrounds that nonetheless brought them together.

How Their Conversation Began

"Isi tarah Instagram pe ek doosre ki tareef karte karte humne baat karna shuru kiya. I had actually sent her a DM many years back in 2016 for a collaboration. At that time, she was a YouTuber," Stebin said, describing how mutual appreciation of each other's work on the platform gradually turned into direct conversation.

A Message That Went Unnoticed for Years

Nupur, who is the sister of Kriti Sanon, shared that she did not even see Stebin's message for nearly four years. It was only in 2020, when she came across his cover of "Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai," that she first heard his music and found his voice and rendition impressive.

Rediscovering the Old Message

Nupur recalled, "I was single at that time and one day I saw Stebin's DM on my Instagram. It was this classic request for a music collaboration that he had sent back in 2016."

What Drew Her to Reply

"There was some vibe and energy in his text, so I replied and we started talking. He used to send me voice notes of songs, and I really liked them," Nupur said, describing how their conversation evolved from a belated reply into a genuine connection built around shared musical exchanges.

Their Wedding in Udaipur

Nupur got married in Udaipur, Rajasthan, in January 2026. The two tied the knot across a three-day celebration blending Christian and traditional Hindu wedding rituals, reflecting a union that brought together both of their distinct cultural backgrounds in their wedding festivities.
