Fran Drescher, star of The Nanny, married her longtime boyfriend, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, at their beach-front home on Sunday afternoon.
Fran and Shiva have been dating for a little over a year and Shiva was happy to share the story of how they met.
“I was speaking on sages and scientists—in fact, talking about innovation and the fact that we need to more universally look at the models of innovation,” Ayyadurai explained during a recent visit to HuffPost Live. “And Fran heard my talk and we fell in love, and we’ve been together since that talk.”
We're at Sages & Scientists. Shiva was genius!

Dr. Ayyadurai is a smart guy and he is not only known for his work and innovation, but also for coming up with the idea for email.
His friends claim that he came up with the idea while he was still in high school and that he holds the copyright for the term “email.”

The couple seems to be very much in love and Ayyadurai said that he feels blessed to have Fran in his life.
“Every day is a celebration with Fran,” Ayyadurai said. “Every day is almost a romantic hangout with her. We’re always laughing, always enjoying ourselves.”
