We know that Amrita Rao is married to RJ Anmol. But what many of us didn’t know is that she actually got married in 2014 secretly amidst family members without letting a word out. It wasn’t until 2016 that people got to know. We saw her last on the silver screen back in 2019 in the film ‘Thackeray’.
In an interview with Times of India, Amrita Rao revealed that her husband, RJ Anmol, wanted to marry her in 2012 and at the time, had asked her to quit acting. This was apparently because he could see her declining movies as she was uncomfortable doing intimate scenes.

“At that point, Anmol could see I was declining some huge movie offers only because I wasn’t comfortable doing kissing scenes and lovemaking sequences on screen. Hence, he thought it was the right time to focus on exploring a beautiful personal life and tying the knot. He did ask me to quit my career and I was completely shattered.”
She went on to add that when Anmol retrospected the issue, he realised that he was being “unreasonable” and apologized to her.
“However, in a day or two, he told me that in hindsight, he realised that demand was unreasonable and that he was sorry about it.”
When asked whether she has any regrets about not doing some movies, Amrita divulged:
“I regret not doing some movies, but I had no one experienced to advise me back then. However, by and large, the movies that I chose to do have been successful, fresh and relevant.”

Speaking about her “secret wedding”, she revealed that only immediate family was present. It was a time when social media wasn’t all the rage and celebrities did have a certain amount of privacy.
“We had a secret wedding in 2014 where we only had immediate family members present. At that point with no social media, the world was different. The news of my wedding could have hampered my career prospects which, luckily, Anmol understood. However, getting married at the right time was also important and hence, Anmol came up with an idea to have a secret marriage and I jumped with excitement at the very thought!”
We hope we get to see more of Amrita Rao on the screen!
