According to Riz Ahmed, the pair met "randomly" while he was preparing for his role in Sound of Metal. He shared with Jimmy Fallon, "We met so randomly while I was preparing for the role when I was in New York." Detailing, "We both just sat down at the same table and ended up jostling over the same laptop plug points, like a very modern way of meeting." That meet-cute turned into a friendship that according to Ahmed, "reconnected down the line."
The rising star has a lot to be thankful for when it comes to his role in Sound of Medal including meeting his wife, as he explained on The Tonight Show, "it's weirdly like one of the many things about preparing for this role that was so special, it just brought a lot of goodness into my life."
The Emmy winner also shared a few details about their small wedding, which was understandably, limited in attendants due to Covid restrictions. He explained, "It was kind of interesting doing it with COVID and everything going on, obviously kept it super intimate and socially distant." Sharing that despite the grand affairs typical of Asian weddings, there was "hardly anyone there" much to the chagrin of their large extended families.
