* Age?A very young-looking 28 years old.* Married?Yes. She is very much married and she managed to find herself quite a catch. She is married to none other than Arjun Oberoi - the young, dapper heir to the Oberoi fortunes. But it was no quick decision to get married since the two have been together for eight years now out of which they have been married for two years.* So were did the Peruvian lass meet her Delhi-based husband?Well, Mila has had quite a jet-set life. She has lived in Conneticut, Scotland and Peru. But she always remained true-to-heart and married her college sweetheart - Arjun who she meet while at Buckingham University in England. She was studying Law and like every good businessman Arjun was studying Economics. He charmed her off her feet in what sounds like a fairy-tale romance.* It must have been a real glamourous wedding, with all the trimmings, what with the Oberoi name involved?No, it was quite the opposite. Mila is not into the party scene and had a small wedding.* So, how did the Oberoi bahu become an editor of a bridal mag?She decided that Law was not for her and when she saw a gap in the media market for a bridal magazine, Mila decided to take up the challenge herself. And along with Sanjit Dhillion, wife of Arjun's pal Matthew Wallace, they set-up the very slickly produced Bride and Home.* That means that her years at Buckingham University were wasted?Not at all. Apart from meeting her life partner there she also believes that her experience in the legal world helped her with editing. "Both involve a lot of reading, research and communication skills. Both are equally rewarding."* But is there really market for such a glossy?Obviously, Mila believes so. She says that there is an unstructured market that has enormous potential - a rather vague answer for what appears to be a vague market.* Since she's in the marriage business she must enjoy the pomp and pageantry that goes into weddings here?Though partying is not her thing when it comes to weddings of close friends she admits that she does enjoy them. "An Indian wedding is an unparalelled celebration of custom, joy and colour," she says. Though the most memorable wedding she attended was Sanjit's as it was a fusion wedding.* A fusion wedding - what's that?Sanjit is Indian, her groom is not. So, they blended the customs of both at a wedding held at Neemrana Fort, Rajasthan.* But aren't all weddings basically the same?Yes, they are, except the Indian version is the most elaborate one. According to our wedding expert the one thing they all have in common is that they are the beginning of a new stage of life. And this blushing bride boldly admits that her wedding did seem like the most important day of her life. At work she may be a practical businesswoman but at heart she still an old-fashioned romantic.* So can an old-fashioned romantic approve of the desi custom of arranged marriages?"They are an important part of Indian culture and should be respected," says the editor. And it seems Mila has learnt the art of a diplomatic answer. This phirang seems to have adjusted to the desi way of life pretty well. But being part of such an established family we guess she must have had no choice but to adapt and fast.* There has to be more to her life then weddings, though?She does enjoying her time-off and her favourite past-time is going to the films. Wonder if her favourite flick is Four Weddings and a Funeral?* What is this lawyer-turned-editor most likely to say?"Calm down"* And least likely to say?"It cannot be done."
