We are looking forward to this new chapter in our lives-Aditya Seal
7:42 AM
In an exclusive chat with BT, Aditya Seal and Anushka Ranjan talk about their upcoming wedding and finding the perfect partner in each other
Tanvi Trivedi (BOMBAY TIMES; November 19, 2021)
Actor-couple Aditya Seal and Anushka Ranjan are all set to walk down the aisle on November 21. The couple plans to have an intimate three-day wedding, which will include sangeet, mehndi and the wedding ceremonies. They were in a relationship for the last four years before Aditya proposed to Anushka in Paris in October 2019. In a chat with BT, they talk about what makes their bond so special and the excitement around their upcoming shaadi. Excerpts:
‘INITIALLY, I FELT SHE WAS TOO COOL FOR ME’
The Student Of The Year 2 actor initially felt that Anushka was way out of his league. He says, “We connected very well in the first meeting itself, but I was hesitant to ask her out. I felt she was too cool for me.”
Aditya says, “Gradually, I realised that Anushka is a very evolved lady and has a deeper understanding of situations and people than I do. She can get people to open up easily, and I find that ability very heartwarming.”
‘I HAVE NEVER LOVED SO DEEPLY’
Talking about the phase when they were getting to know each other, Anushka shares, “Aditya and I have had different upbringings and while my family is flamboyant, his family is simple and soft-spoken. But when we started meeting regularly, he realised that we connected as people and genuinely liked each other. I have immense respect for Aditya because deep down in my heart, I realise that I have never loved so deeply.”
‘THE FEELING OF GETTING MARRIED HASN’T SUNK IN YET’
The couple is all set to tie the knot in a few days. Aditya says, “It feels like I will move in with my girlfriend after a few days and embark on a new adventure. We wanted to get married sooner, but we waited for the pandemic to get over. I used to live in Bandra earlier, but after my father passed away in the pandemic, I found an apartment in Anushka’s building complex, so my mother and I will be close to Anushka’s parents in Andheri.”
Anushka adds, “I have never wanted a big fat wedding. Also, I am not someone who will fuss over her lehenga or take days to decide on songs for my sangeet! I come from a family where my parents had never made it mandatory to get married at a certain age. It was all about work and doing what I like. The feeling of becoming a wife hasn’t sunk in yet, but I am happy that I will be with someone I have loved and known for a long time now and everyone around me is happy, too. That’s ideal.” Quoting a line from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Aditya says, “Pyaar dosti hai... Anushka and I have been great friends. We share almost everything, and there is a great level of communication.”
Talking about her family’s fondness for Aditya, Anushka says, “My mother (Anu Ranjan) feels that Aditya is her son and can’t stop talking about him, while my father (Shashi Ranjan) is still portraying that since he is the girl’s father, he will take longer to love the son-inlaw. It is quite a happy time when we all get together, and we can talk about anything in front of my parents or his mother.”
On a parting note, Aditya says, “This is the first good event happening in my family after I lost my father and we are looking forward to this new chapter in our lives.”

Alia Bhatt flew to Delhi on Wednesday to attend bestie Devika Advani’s wedding with Varun Jain. For the cocktails-and-sangeet ceremony, the actress opted for a floral lehenga and played a bridesmaid to the hilt.
A guest at the event informs, “Alia got emotional as she spoke about the bride-to-be and admitted that she was trying hard not to cry. She also recounted their time together as kids, when they would enact scenes from films. Devika insisted on being the actress and Alia would have to play the hero.”
Later, the duo’s nostalgia trip continued with a performance on the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and AR Rahman song “Chanda Suraj Laakho Taare” on which they had first danced 20 years ago. Other songs that were a part of the night’s playlist included “Coca-Cola Tu” from Luka Chuppi, “Zingat” from Sairat and “Mahi Ve” from Kal Ho Na Ho. For the mehendi on Thursday, the girls, including Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and Kripa Mehta, rallied around the bride for selfies. Alia will attend the wedding today and will return to Mumbai on Saturday to resume shooting for Brahmastra with Ranbir Kapoor at a Film City set.
Anushka Ranjan-Pooja Chopra in Binod Pradhan's directorial debut

Binod Pradhan, who has
served as a director of photography on award-winning films such as
Devdas, Munnabhai MBBS, Rang De Basanti and more recently, 2 States, has
finally decided to don the director's hat.
Mirror has learnt that Binod will be directing a love story to be produced by Anu and Shashi Ranjan. The film's cast will be led by the producer's daughter, Anushka, who was initially supposed to be launched by Sajid Nadiadwala.
Revealed a source close to the production, “Binod has been planning his foray into filmmaking for some time now but couldn't find the right script. However, he has finally found one it's a love triangle which will be shot extensively in Mauritius. Presently, they are looking for a leading hero and a parallel female lead.”
When contacted, Binod confirmed the news saying, “I was supposed to be a cinematographer on this film and Rahul Rawail was to direct it. However, he had some disagreements with the producers and they asked me to helm the film. I readily came on board.”
The yet untitled film will be shot by Binod's close friend, Gopal Shah who had earlier filmed the Salman Khan-starrer Veer.
Earlier, Rawail had announced that he will conduct a nationwide search for the male lead of the film which was then called Love Story…Again. “I’ve always nurtured the desire to direct and the time is right now. Writing a script is a problem but in this case a script was already in place,” Binod said.
Anushka, he said, is a talented girl going by her performance in the acting workshops. “We are in talks with Pooja Chopra (Commando) to play another character in the love triangle. We flag off in August once the rest of the cast is in place,” he added.
