Jenny came to India to visit Sumit in 2013

Their love story began when Sumit started catfishing Jenny with a photo of a young, strong, white man named Michael Jones. He came clean to her about his true identity, and the two continued their relationship. In 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Jenny gave up everything to be with Sumit in India. In the first season, they acted as though this trip was their first time meeting each other. However, in reality, it was their second meeting.

Jenny revealed in The Other Way Season 2 that she had gone to India for the first time in 2013. She stayed with Sumit’s family in their home. She said, “I was in India. I lived with his family for four months.” Sumit’s parents even confirmed that Jenny came to India in 2013.

Sumit and Jenny’s first date was at Mcdonalds

Sumit and Jenny played a couple’s game on Us Weekly, where they revealed where they had their first date. They said it was at a McDonald’s in a mall in India. Jenny recalled, “We just sat at a table, and he ordered me some food.” She says that he ordered her a “chicken burger” because they don’t eat beef there, complete with french fries and a coke.

Jenny recalled, “Then a bunch of school kids came in and disturbed us.” Sumit explained the reasoning behind going to the mall. He said that he wanted to show Jenny “some nice place of India.” He thought the mall was “one of the coolest things for us” at the time. Going to the mall was his way of wanting to prove to Jenny that India is “also very cool.”
