Amrita Rao’s love story is to die for. The actress has been with her husband Anmol for close to a decade now. The couple has been married for nearly three years, has dated for six years and been friends ever since they met in 2009. Given how fickle relationships have become lately, and how easy it is for people to move on from one relationship into another, it was imperative to ask Amrita her take on the loss of longevity from relationships these days.
Amrita says, “Heartbreaks must be terrible.
I just got lucky that I married the man I date for six years and it’s the only relationship I ever got into. For the longest time, only our immediate families and two of his best friends knew about us. We wanted it to be this way. A relationship is not meant for public display. Also, Anmol is a khuddar guy. He has never wanted to drop my name to get work or to further his career. All through our dating years, his career grew by itself. It was only his hard work. That is how it should be. Relationships should be allowed to blossom and they should never interfere with your professional space.”
When asked what Anmol and she discuss as a couple, Amrita says, “We discuss life, people and how people change with times. We talk about the kind of importance we must assign to different things in life. I remember I had this really big chance to be an in-house artiste after Jolly LLB for a big production banner but I revealed that I am in a sacred relationship and complete uninhibition is not something that I can deliver. The producer respected that about me. Anmol and I have treated work as a part of our life and not life as a whole. We both never want to lose that core comfort we have in our respective work lives. The idea is to keep the friendship between us, intact. Marriage, for us, was just a ceremony because it couldn’t change anything between us.”
