In an interview with Vogue India, Shah said, “We wanted a proper Indian wedding. At a time when Aditya’s parents, who are based in India, were visiting us in America for the first time felt like the ideal date. It was all completely organic; we didn’t force anything. We are truly lucky to have parents who are so supportive.”

Later, they took to Instagram to express gratitude for the attention, writing:
“We didn’t realize the impact a simple wedding at a temple would have on people around the world looking for hope. There is no secret to acceptance, tolerance, or happiness. You have to find the right partner to take the step with. Let the truth of your love speak for itself. Love, Amit & Adi.”
