Sonam Kapoor's friends were trying to set her up with Anand’s best friend

MUMBAI - Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja are one of the adored couples of the Bollywood film industry. Sonam, in her latest interview with Filmfare, revealed how she met Anand and bonded with him.

The Khoobsurat movie star opened up on their first meeting and revealed how her friends were trying to set her up with Anand's best friend.

The diva stated that Anand is completely different and the first time when she met him, he had no idea that she is the daughter of actor Anil Kapoor. She further revealed that though Anand was trying to be the middle man between her and his friend, ultimately then ended up talking more.

Talking about their first meeting, Kapoor said, ''My friends were trying to set me up with Anand's best friend. That's how I met him. The first time I met Anand was while I was busy with the promotions of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015). One evening my friends conned me into visiting a bar at the Taj. I went there quite irritated. I don't believe in marriage and all this nonsense'. I saw Anand and his friend. His friend was tall like me, liked reading like me and was a huge fan of Hindi movies."

She remarked “Sometimes, people believe that when they have similar interests, they can be together. No one would think of Anand and me together because Anand is totally different.”

Later, her now husband sent a friend request to the Neerja actor and said his friend wants to connect with her in London if she’s still single. This, however, led to the #everydayphenomal couple meeting and two weeks later they were talking on the phone. That’s when the diva asked Anand, “Do you still want me to talk to your friend?” He said, “No, No! Not at all. Talk to me. I’m keeping you for myself.”

So this is how their phone conversations ended, into a lifetime companionship.

The duo got married in May 2018 in Mumbai. We wish a blissful life ahead to the couple.
