Their love story began when Arshad met Maria in 1991, at St. Xavier's Malhar festival. "I was invited to Malhar to judge a dance competition where I noticed this lovely girl with a cute smile from St. Andrew's College, who was also participating in the competition and I fell in love with her. But if I have my facts right, it wasn't love at first sight," begins Arshad with a smile.
"After the show Arshad came up to me and asked me if I would like to join his dance troupe, but I refused," says Maria. "Three months later I met him again through a common friend and we gradually became friends. He even convinced me to join his dance troupe."

She says she’s finally entered her field of dreams. And Maria Goretti is loving every moment of it. After all, not everyone gets selected from thousands of hopefuls to become a VJ on MTV.
It all started as one big joke, reminisces Maria. She applied for the MTV VJ hunt on a lark but when the elimination rounds began and she started moving towards the finals she became serious.
"I could virtually see VJing coming my way after every elimination round," says Maria and adds, "No, I didn’t get overly confident. But I knew I’d get the job because I love music, I love talking and I love dancing the three vital ingredients for VJing."
So here’s your chance to shake a leg or two in true Bollywood style with Maria. MTV’s Hipshakers, is a half hour weekly show, in which Maria gives viewers tips on dancing and hip shaking a la Bollywood style the way she does in a take-off from the song Kya Bolti Tu in the Coke ad.
