Shabbar is a businessman, and owns a night club (one of his recent projects). Shefali is a homemaker, a loving mother with a passion for fashion, also known as the “Birkin Girl“.

“Married to my childhood sweetheart for 21 years and yes it was love at first sight,” explains Shabbar. “She is the best thing that happened to me, Shefali is a perfect wife, and a very caring mother,” he shares.

Shabbar is loving, very patient, a self made man and a doting father and Shefali says “my perfect life partner”. They both enjoy lavish dinner parties, shopping, and traveling. They both are collectors, for Shabbar it’s buying collector watches and for Shefali, limited edition bags. “We are perfect partners in crime,” says the Tejanis.

For them Valentine’s day is everyday as they believe in celebrating each day, but they like to celebrate the love day by opening a fine bottle of champagne, followed by dinner and dancing! “We are just blessed and appreciative for what God has given us. Cheers to Love.”
