With the country going through a lockdown, actress Amruta Khanvilkar celebrated her husband, actor Himanshu Malhotra’s birthday in a simple manner, a few days ago. Later, the two took to social media with lovey-dovey posts for each other. While the couple is using this forced break to spend quality time with each other, interestingly, Amruta was in the news a few months ago, when she unfollowed Himanshu on social media. The ‘social media distancing’ had even given rise to speculations about trouble in their paradise.

Looking back, the actress, who is currently seen on Khatron Ke Khiladi, calls her act, ‘childish’. She tells BT, “Himanshu was shooting out of town for many months and I was missing him. One night, I wanted to have a long conversation with him, but he kept reminding me that he had to sleep early for a 5 am shoot. As a person, I am not very expressive and so, I could not tell him that I missed him. Eventually, we ended up fighting and he hung up on me. I was so upset, I blocked his number in the heat of the moment and unfollowed him on social media.”

She adds, “I realised how childish I was, when I unblocked his number the next morning. Himanshu said that he kept calling me the entire night, but could not get through. It was a spur-of-the-moment act and I didn’t realise that it would lead to speculations about trouble in our marriage.”

Amruta says that Himanshu is the “saner ” one among them. “I have been married for five years and all the credit for keeping our marriage intact goes to my husband. He is the one who adds balance to our crazy lives. Not just personal life, he takes a keen interest in my career, too,” she signs off.
