It’s been almost a decade since television actress Swati Kapoor has been dating businessman Anuj Sikri. Swati says that she won’t say that she is seeing him because that will be a small word to define her relationship. In a candid chat with us she reveals more details about her relationship and wedding plans.
Swati, who is known for her roles in shows like Udaan and Ye Hai Mohabbatein, shares, “You cannot say that life is always good or rosy. But with Anuj my life has been better in all these years. Especially when you leave your city and family and work in an industry like ours. A companion like him has made things easy for me and of course for him too.”
Since the two of them were actors then, they would catch up during work meetings or at parties. But later the two connected in a “mysterious” way. “We met on the sets of a show. At that time he was into acting but has quit now. We connected because there was a common person we both used to hate,” laughs Swati. “So talking about that person somehow got us closer,” she adds.
Swati and Anuj are pretty open about their relationship on their social media accounts. Talking about being together for a decade, she says, “Love and respect is there. I don’t think a relationship can work without these two. I don’t know how we have sustained our relationship for so long. There is still a mystery to it. Maybe because I met him even before dating apps came onto scene. Maybe we had a connection. We two have seen a lot of ups and downs together and I think that is what has brought us closer. When you see so much in your life with one person then one cannot see yourself with someone else,” says Swati.
Swati says that both their families know about their relationship and they approve of it. And now she is ready to take the leap. “Even when others didn’t know about us our families knew. Parents always sense what’s happening in their child’s life. I am prepared for marriage now but I don’t know about him,” laughs Swati.
