Dylan says one thing he loves most about his wife is her generosity. She says she didn't have love at first site with him, but he eventually won her over.

Shiva is much more than just another Hollywood wife. She wooed us with her performance of a proud, dignified Iranian woman fighting against discrimination on her husband's TV Show. She consistently makes best-dressed lists with her purely feminine, yet modern fashion sense. And she is also not afraid to fight for her opinion. In January 2003, she was arrested during an anti-war protest in Los Angeles.
