Earlier in an interview with Pinkvilla, Anas shared the details of meeting his life-partner, Heena for the first time. He talked about he married the girl of his mother’s choice, he had said, “Well, I heard about her from Ammi (mom) and rest of the family members 10 days back. I met her a week ago. I never thought about it. I knew that whatever Ammi would decide, I would say yes to it. I took me a minute to say yes to her but in practicality, it happened in a week's time.”
When asked about his belief in the institution of marriage, Anas had stated, “As a teen, I believed in love marriages and thought I would marry in a romantic fashion. But with time and as I experienced life, I felt that arranged marriage would be best for my family and me. It is also good for a girl, I feel.”
In another interview, Anas expressed his feeling about the marriage day and how it is the best day of his life, he said, “Everyone kept complimenting us how great we looked together. Our wedding attire also received a lot of appreciation and we were blushing because of the praises. Being the eldest in the house, I was so elated to see my family happy. It was a feeling that I can’t even describe in words. I was nervous, happy, restless and what not. It was the best day in my life for sure.”
Anas also talked about Heena being part of the family and how she has won everyone over. The actor said, “It doesn’t seem that she is new in the family. Heena has already won over everyone and she has seamlessly blended with the family. Everyone loves and adores her and she too has been reciprocating it with equal love. As of now, she hasn’t cooked anything but my mother and sisters are helping her in understanding these things.”
In an interview with Bombay Times, Anas talked about the married life, he stated, “I feel content and complete. During the wedding, Heena's friends asked me how it feels to be married in real life after tying the knot on-screen. I said I had the liberty to take a break whenever I was tired in reel life, but in real life, there is no action or cut (laughs).” (Don't Miss: Dilip Kumar, 96, Shares A Pic With Wife, Saira Banu, 74, Feeding Him Cake, And It's So Adorable)
