Also, don’t you all want to know how Kajol and Ankita met? The Karmphal Data Shani actress shared with TOI, “My sister had asked me to help my jiju (brother-in-law) with shopping. I, along with my family, went to Pune 20 days before the wedding and that’s when I first met Ankit. I hated him initially, because he came across as arrogant. However, I soon realised that he was an introvert, who took his time to open up to people. He is a genuine and loyal person. We kept in touch after the wedding and became friends by November. What helped us bond over was our love for travelling and the fact that both of us are family-oriented. Soon, we realised that what we shared was more than just friendship. In the meanwhile, their families also felt that they are a perfect pair. The rest, as they say, is history.”
Kajol had also shared her excitement about finally being engaged in an interview and shared, “I am feeling really happy. I was not really sure about marriage initially because I wanted to get married after like five years as I was not prepared for it. But Ankit's confidence and his efforts made me realise that we can take this ahead. Otherwise, I was sure that I won't get married before 30 years and I think I have taken the right decision." Kajol clarifies that she will be pursuing her career as diligently as she did it before."
As Ankita is based out of Denver (US), the duo have always maintained a long-distance relationship. Speaking about the challenges of being in one, the actress had stated, “The challenges are trust issues and time difference. However, he made sure to keep in touch with me through phone and video calls. We trust each other blindly, and would constantly update each other about whatever we were doing. Ankit has put in a lot of effort to make it work.” (Also Read: Deepika Padukone Shares Her Valentine's Day Plans, Ranveer Singh Will Get The Best Treat For Sure)
What do you think, will Kajol shift base to Denver post their marriage? Kajol had revealed, “That is impossible, I can’t quit the industry. I love acting and Ankit knows how passionate I am about my profession. I feel lucky to have him in my life, as he has told me that he would relocate to Mumbai if I take up a show, or I could travel to the US if I want to take a short break.”
Kajol, we can’t wait to see you in your bridal avatar! How about you guys? Keep us posted!
