'She's everything I want in a woman'

Martin Da Costa, 34
Portuguese
Married to singer Sagarika Mukherjee

WI think Indians are phenomenal. I came here in 1995. India had woken up to the world at that time. What impressed me most, apart from the country and its culture, were the people. Things like culture remain in the background; it is the people who stay with you.

I met Sagarika when I was working for the music company that managed her [portfolio]. I was managing artistes like Lucky Ali, Shaan [Sagarika's brother] and Sagarika. We first met

 
  at the airport when I had to travel with her to Hyderabad.

I have known her for five years now. After two years of knowing her, I came clear with my intentions. We got married three years ago.

I think Sag is fabulous. She's funny, smart, confident. She's everything I want in a woman.

Making the decision to move to another country wasn't a big deal because being European -- I was born in Portugal and educated in London -- I was pretty international.

I have no reason to leave; there is great opportunity here. Yes, there's reason to leave Mumbai [where Martin runs a restaurant], but not India.
