It was their mutual decision to keep the marriage date a secret. Amrita and Anmol also have a boy.

Boyfriends

Actress Amrita Rao and her husband Radio Jockey Anmol the couple claimed that they wed in 2014 in a private ceremony but made their wedding public on the date 15 May 2016.

You've probably seen a lot of RJs interviewing Bollywood stars up to this point but have you ever heard of the relationship between an RJ and an actress? Your response will most likely be ‘no’ because it is typically thought to be extremely unlikely to occur in Bollywood.

Amrita Rao the ‘Vivaah’ girl and RJ Anmol's love story on the other hand are completely the reverse of this and appear to be very intriguing. The first time Amrita and Anmol met was in a radio studio about 14 years ago in the year 2008.

Although Anmol did not question Amrita during their initial meeting he made sure to obtain her contact number through any method possible. Anmol was similarly successful in this quest and was able to get Amrita's contact number during their very first encounter. However, following their initial meeting, none of them spoke to the other for a year because they were both so preoccupied with their different work lives.

However it is considered that God himself created some couples which is why they were connected to one another in some way. The same thing happened to Amrita and Anmol when they met again owing to some work obligations and subsequently, they both began dating. Anmol claimed that Amrita had a very kind and affable character which was the major reason he admired her so much and fell in love with her.

They recently welcomed a newborn boy and are currently both content to be married to each other. RJ Anmol and Amrita Rao desire to keep their romance private. The couple prefers to keep their private lives out of the public eye whether it be their wedding or Amrita Rao’s pregnancy.
