If there’s one thing all of us would agree to is that the year 2020 hasn’t been off to a great start. Being in self-isolation, quarantine and complete nationwide lockdown due to the fast spread of the coronavirus, staying at home to stay safe is the need of the hour. And if you are turning a year older during this tough time, then we can understand how frustrating social distancing can be for you for not being able to celebrate it with friends and family. But the ones, they are self-isolated with, try hard to make it a memorable quarantine birthday for their special one. The doting and most handsome husband of the telly world, Rohit Reddy did exactly the same.

It was in 1999 when Anita Hassanandani had made her debut in the industry with a cameo in Taal, and since then, with a list of hit serials in her kitty, there has been no looking back for the actress. Anita had exchanged wedding vows with a businessman, Rohit Reddy and together, they have been giving out major #CoupleGoals. Anita and Rohit’s love story is as filmy as this couple and we would take you through it in the latter paragraphs to come.
On Anita Hassanandani’s 39th birthday, her hubby, Rohit Reddy made sure to make it a special one with her friends by her side (virtually!). Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Rohit arranged for a conference video call with all of their close friends in attendance to ring in Anita’s birthday. Anita had cut her birthday cake with Rohit and her friends on a video call, all thanks to social distancing. Sharing a clip of their Nach Baliye performance, Rohit penned down a wish for Anita, “To the strongest woman I know, literally! Keep growing baby! Happy Bday!” To which, the birthday girl replied with an array of kiss and heart emojis. Anita also posted a video of her hubby, Rohit, making kheer for her on her birthday. Anita captioned the video as “It's my birthday! And Mr. Husband has prepared the world's best kheer only for me! Thank you @rohitreddygoa for making my favourite kheer #sweetnesspartner.”

Last year when Anita Hassanandani had turned 38, Rohit Reddy had posted a picture and, in the caption, he had expressed how he couldn’t believe that his wife is 38 years old. Rohit had written, “Me: “You are telling that’s her 38th birthday cake? Like seriously? 38???” That’s what happens when you wifey doesn’t look a day more than 21! Happy Birthday to the love of my life!!” Then he had posted a mushy video of his romantic dance with Anita, and had captioned it, “Happy Birthday my love! You inspire me beyond words!!! I am so glad we are going to grow old together, and that you’ll always have a head start.” (Also Read: Smriti Khanna Wishes 'Precious Gem', Gautam Gupta On His Birthday, Apologises As Gift Gets Delayed)
Did you know that when Rohit Reddy had seen Anita Hassanandani for the first time, he was unaware of her popularity? Since he only watched news, Rohit was unaware of Anita’s fame when he had first seen her in the gym and it was a love at first sight. Speaking of his first impression on her, Anita had stated in a Deccan Chronicle interview, “I refuse to believe he didn’t know I was an actor, maybe he didn’t know my name but I’m sure he’s seen me somewhere. After the first meeting outside the pub, we met again through a common friend. My first impression was that he is well spoken and has a cute dimpled smile.”
Revealing what he likes the most about his wife, Anita Hassanandani, Rohit Reddy had stated, “She makes it a point to keep in touch with my family. I, like most guys will call my parents once a week, because I have to but she makes it a point to have long conversations with them and bonds with them very well.” Anita, on the other hand, had remarked, “One very adorable quality about Rohit is, he is very appreciative. Even today, he makes it a point to thank me, whenever I do anything for him, that’s very lovable.”
It has been 21 days since the nationwide lockdown, some celebrities have been inspiring their fans with their home workout videos during the coronavirus quarantine. Anita Hassanandani and Rohit Reddy had also inspired their fans on how to do partner workout during the self-isolation. On March 25, 2020, Rohit had posted partner workout videos on his Instagram handle, wherein his wife and favourite exercise buddy, Anita had helped him doing them. Rohit had captioned the videos as “No gym, no problem! A kickass leg workout with wifey! 1) 12 floors weighted climb with a 20kg vest 2) 100 lunges 3) Squats with weighted vest plus my baby 4) Standing calves 5) Finisher: Staircase climb with wifey+vest P.S: Did i just bend that rod at the end!” Rohit had also commented tagging Anita, “@anitahassanandani - did u ask whether to “hold ur core?” ... Poore NachBaliye mein u dint hold ur core, abhi kya fayda!” (Also Read: Virat Kohli Shares A Mushy Picture With Wife, Anushka Sharma And Their Pooch)
