Initially, their interactions were casual, but over time, a strong friendship developed, which eventually turned into love. The couple’s first meeting reportedly took place at a restaurant in Patna, Bihar. During a dinner conversation, between soup and the main course, they decided to spend their lives together, realizing their shared understanding of responsibilities as civil servants.

A Simple Yet Memorable Wedding
Despite their busy schedules, the couple struggled to find time for a grand wedding. However, on February 14, 2020, Valentine’s Day, Navjot Simi traveled to West Bengal to meet Tushar Singla at his office. In the presence of a few close friends, they registered their marriage at the groom’s office, making it an intimate yet significant ceremony. Later, they also held a simple temple wedding to seek blessings. Navjot Simi later shared their wedding pictures on social media, which quickly went viral, receiving appreciation for their simple yet meaningful approach.

She completed her BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) from Baba Jaswant Singh Dental College and Hospital and Research Center. However, despite a career in dentistry, she felt unfulfilled and decided to pursue the UPSC Civil Services Exam. Her first attempt in 2016 was unsuccessful, but she did not give up. In 2017, she cleared the exam with an All India Rank (AIR) of 735, securing a place in the Indian Police Service (IPS) under the Bihar cadre. After her maternity leave, she is now awaiting her next posting.
