Reena met Pawan at one of his singing concerts when she was pursuing her formal education in India.

He said,
After coming to India to pursue my degree in Architectural Apprenticeship and Interior Design along with a second degree in IT and Management, I got married in India and that too in a very small town called Ambala. 35 years ago it was practically non-existent in every way and was a typical hinterland settlement with conservative thought processes and a land forgotten by the world except for its military history. It was a big cultural shock for me at that time. These years, especially from coming from Kenya with an open mindset and upbringing to overcoming all kinds of obstacles and regressive traditional ideologies during the following years, have basically been the inspiration behind a lot of my artworks. ..You can see the story of most of the girls then and still are in my paintings.”
