Last October, singer-composer Ankit Tiwari’s paternal grandmother was travelling by train from Kanpur to Delhi when she met a young girl, Pallavi Shukla, who was in the same compartment. The two started chatting and hit it off instantly. Dadi knew she’d found the perfect match for her musician grandson, who according to his mother Suman Tiwari, had “no time for love” and often misses family gatherings because of work commitments.
Three months later, the Tiwaris and Shuklas are on a last-minute shopping spree for Ankit and Pallavi’s wedding. The couple will get engaged on February 20, then after the traditional haldi, sangeet and mehendi ceremonies will tie the knot in a typical North Indian shaadi on February 23 in Kanpur, followed by a reception on February 26. The families will also host a reception in Mumbai once Ankit returns from his Delhi, Chandigarh and Kolkata tours by the month-end.
“Usually weddings in our family last 10-12 days, but Ankit doesn’t have the time. His shows are booked months in advance and we worked around his dates,” Ankit’s older brother Ankur, who also manages his work, says, adding that his conservative in-laws don’t wish to share a pic of the bride-to-be before the pheras.
The couple will dance to the tunes of Ankit’s award-winning Aashiqui 2 track “Sunn Raha Hai Na Tu” as well as his other chartbusters, “Galliyan” and “O Yara”. The groom describes his first meeting with Pallavi in Mumbai as a “private and personal affair”. “Once dadi announced that Pallavi would be the family’s daughter-in-law, everyone agreed. I’m happy that the family is happy and a little nervous too. She is a very sweet and simple girl. During our first meeting there were 10 others seated between us,” Ankit laughs.
Pallavi is a mechanical engineer who has spent the last 10 years in Bangalore. “I’ve introduced her and her family to my work and life in Mumbai where she will live after marriage,” Ankit signs off.
There's no bitterness because I know that I had done no wrong-Ankit Tiwari

Singer-composer Ankit Tiwari, who was acquitted of rape charges by the sessions court, speaks about the trauma he and his family went through in the past three years

Bollywood singer composer
Ankit Tiwari was acquitted of rape charges by the Mumbai Sessions Court
on Thursday. The court acquitted Ankit and his elder brother Ankur of
all charges after the woman, who had filed the complaint, turned hostile
and the prosecution failed to gather enough evidence against the
brothers.
The woman, allegedly Ankit's girlfriend, had filed a case against the Sunn Raha Hai Na Tu singer saying he had assaulted her several times between October 2012 and December 2013 after promising to marry her. She had also filed a case against Ankur saying he had threatened her. Ankit was subsequently arrested by the Mumbai Police on May 8, 2014 and later let out on bail.
A relieved Ankit spoke to us. He said, “Justice has finally been done to me.I knew that God and truth were on my side and that I had done no wrong. Finally, everyone knows the truth and I can't thank the court and the people who helped me through this ordeal, enough, ever.“
He added, “For three-and-a-half years, my family and I suffered this ordeal. Sabse zyada mere mummy-papa affected thay. For them it was a big shock when this had happened. But now we can finally put all of this behind and move on in our lives. Mummy ne toh jabse verdict suna hai, woh ro hi rahi hain. Unhone aur papa ne bahut tapasya aur prayers ki thi mere liye. I am only thankful now that our family's name has been cleared.“
When asked if there is any bitterness in him, Ankit said, “There's no bitterness. Jo ho gaya, I have put it all behind me. Because I know that I had done no wrong. So, I have told my mother to look for a girl for me. Woh jisko pasand kar lengi uss se shaadi karunga. But when, I don't know.“
The singer had suffered professionally too because of the case. He found it tough to find work post his arrest. “But I am immensely grateful to filmmaker Mohit Suri who gave me work in Hamari Adhuri Kahani. It did take some time to gain back people's confidence, but eventually I did.“
Ankit's elder brother Ankur, who is also his manager, too heaved a sigh of relief when the verdict was delivered. “We had refrained from commenting on anything related to this case as it was subjudice. Finally, we have won the case. Iss din ka bahut dino se intezaar tha. And we are happy about it. Ankit and I just want to thank our well-wishers, family, friends and his fans who believed in him and stood by him.“
His parents too are delighted that their son's name has been cleared in the case. Ankit's father Rajendra Tiwari said, “Ankit aur Ankur ka case lagbhag teen saal tak court main chala aur yeh teen saal mere aur Suman (his wife) ke liye bahut hi zyada tough rahe. I always knew that both my sons were innocent. Kai baar celebrity hone ka bhi aapko khamiyaza bhugatna padta hai. The same happened with Ankit and Ankur. I still remember the day they both were taken into police custody. At that time, my wife and I were in Mumbai and we both felt really helpless because there was no one to help us. Going to the court on every hearing was also a painful experience, but I always had strong faith in the judiciary.“
Echoing Rajendra's emotions, his wife Suman Tiwari, said, “Mujhe bhagwaan aur judiciary par pura vishwas tha. Jab yeh pura incident hua tha tab bahut hi pareshaani wale din thay. Mujhe maloom tha ki ghar se dur rehkar bhi mere bete koi galat kaam nahi karenge. Mujhe lagta hai ki woh samay hi kharab tha iss liye yeh ghatna hui. Aaj jab Ankit aur Ankur court se nirdosh saabit hog aye hai toh mujhe kisi se koi shikayaat nahi.“
