Painter Anjolie Ella Menon and her husband Raja Menon will feature on this week's Face to Face on BBC World. The couple reminisces about their charming love story, their long courtship and their marriage in the face of opposition from their families. They also share their experiences and how they have both managed to keep up with their respective careers. The show airs on 2 August at 10 pm and on 3 August at 12 pm.

Anjolie points out that being Raja's wife, she had some interesting exhibitions at several places around the world. Raja Menon retired as an Admiral in the Indian navy and is now considered one of India's foremost strategic thinkers. Though Anjolie feels that the second career is better suited to him, Raja says: "I don't think I could have done the second career at an earlier age, because at an earlier age there was this whole business of driving a submarine, riding horses and ocean sailing and all that physical aspect which I wouldn't have missed for anything. In later years yes, I mean once you've been through all this you can pretend to be the wise thinker."
