Actor Rahul Kumar, popularly remembered as “Millimetre” from the cult classic 3 Idiots, is now married. The actor recently made headlines after a viral video of him and his wife, Turkish national Keziban Dogan, surfaced online. The couple caught the attention of social media after being photographed in New Delhi by a local portrait photographer who had no idea he was clicking pictures of the 3 Idiots actor. Their casual interaction, captured on video, soon went viral, turning into a social media sensation.
In the clip shared online, Rahul introduces himself and his wife to the photographer, saying, “I am Rahul, she is my wife Keziban Dogan, and she is from Turkey.” Keziban adds with a smile, “Yes, we are married — 4th May.” Dressed elegantly for the day, Rahul wore a white shirt with beige trousers while Keziban chose a traditional red salwar suit. The video, which ended with candid shots of the couple, instantly struck a chord with fans who recognized Rahul from his teenage role in the 2009 blockbuster.
Their heartwarming love story is nothing short of cinematic. Speaking to the photographer in the video, Keziban revealed that she first saw Rahul in 3 Idiots and reached out to him online. “I watched this movie, he is an actor there. Millimetre, you know? I texted him, and we talked. Fourteen years before, I think,” she said. What began as an exchange over a film eventually grew into a cross-cultural romance that culminated in marriage earlier this year. The couple tied the knot on May 4 in an intimate ceremony that celebrated both Hindu and Christian traditions.
