ANMOL-AMRITA’S V-DAY SURPRISE
While Amrita hopes for a special V-Day surprise from her husband, RJ Anmol, the latter leaves it on their three-month-old to decide their plans
Full of giggles and laughter is what a chat with actor Amrita Rao and her husband RJ Anmol is like. Five years into their marriage and 11 years into their courtship, they remain as excited for Valentine’s Day as they were on their first one.
FIRST V-DAY
It all started when Rao visited RJ Anmol’s radio station for an interview. The two took a liking to each other, and started meeting. Recalling their first date, she says, “We were driving around in Bandra, Mumbai, and impromptu decided to drive all the way to Lonavala. The day ended at Bandstand. I remember it vividly.” Anmol chimes in, “The initial years, we went around on a lot of drives. Our love story is a love triangle between me, Amrita and Mumbai.”
The actor is always excited for the day. “I’m still that girl who gets excited about the day. I’m hoping Anmol has a surprise planned,” she laughs. To which RJ Anmol quips, “You’ve to understand, the party who receives the gift is always more excited than the one giving it.”
In 2020, though the duo couldn’t be together for the first time on V-Day, RJ Anmol pulled out all the stops to surprise his wife. Rao reveals, “He raised the bar by giving me a solitaire, we had completed 10 years of relationship.”
WHAT DO THEY LIKE ABOUT EACH OTHER?
Happily married and madly in love, what’s the one thing they like the most about each other? Rao says, “He is extremely positive, he doesn’t let anything negative stay with him for too long. He is like ‘I want to be in a happy zone all the time, I will achieve that’…”
For RJ Anmol, loving Amrita comes naturally to him. “For me to fall in love with her was not rocket science...She’s a star who’s so grounded, so beautiful not just from the outside but inside too. She came to my radio station in 2009, and that’s been her longest interview till date,” he chuckles.
FIRST TIME AS PARENTS
As this is their first Valentines Day after becoming parents, are their plans any different this year? “I don’t know what surprise Anmol has planned, but it’ll be a special one. The first time experience of everything is special,” says Rao.
While RJ Anmol reveals that everything will be decided by their threemonth-old, “It all depends on how Veer is planning for the day. Every plan is now followed by his plans to cry; (if) he plans to poop, we have to take care of that! We have no plans, we don’t know what he has in mind, what surprise he has planned for both of us.”
