Anshula Kapoor Engaged to Her ‘Safe Place’ in NYC
New York City — The sky was still blushing with the first light of dawn when Anshula Kapoor stood in front of Belvedere Castle, her eyes brimming with tears and laughter tumbling between breaths. In that quiet, almost sacred moment, she said yes to love, to memory, to a promise three years in the making.
The daughter of film producer Boney Kapoor and sister to actor Arjun Kapoor, Anshula, shared the news of her engagement to screenwriter Rohan Thakkar with a post that felt more like a page from a personal journal than a public announcement. “I’ve never been the girl who believed in fairytales,” she wrote. “But what Rohan gave me that day was better. Because it was intentional. Thoughtful. Real. Us.”
The proposal wasn’t just romantic—it was ritualistic. Rohan chose 1:15 AM IST, the exact time they first spoke during a spontaneous late-night chat in 2022. That detail, like so much of their story, was quietly profound. “Somehow, the world paused just long enough for the moment to feel like magic,” Anshula reflected, her words wrapped in the kind of joy that doesn’t shout—it glows.
In the photos she shared, her smile is unguarded, her eyes still wet, the Toi et Moi diamond ring catching the morning light. It’s not just a symbol of commitment—it’s a timestamp of everything they’ve built together: the late-night conversations, the quiet understanding, the shared love for Shake Shack’s shroom burger that sparked their first exchange.
From First Chat to Forever: A Love Timeline
They met the way modern love stories sometimes begin—through an app, a shared craving, and the kind of random, late-night conversation that shouldn’t have mattered, but somehow did. It was 1:15 AM IST, and they were talking about Shake Shack’s shroom burger. One message led to another, and before they knew it, dawn had crept in.
Over the next few months, their chats turned into daily rituals. Good mornings, shared playlists, one-liners that made no sense to anyone else. By 2023, what began as a quiet connection had taken root, growing into something far more real. When Anshula posted about Rohan for the first time, it wasn’t a grand reveal—just a photo tucked into her feed like a secret she was ready to share.
No spectacle. No headlines. Just two people building something solid, slow, and intentional. So, when he asked, it wasn’t a surprise. It was a continuation of every moment that came before. Of choosing each other quietly, and then again, out loud.
Meet Rohan Thakkar: The Storyteller Behind the Screen
If you ask those who know him, they’ll tell you Rohan Thakkar doesn’t chase the spotlight—he writes around it. A screenwriter with Dharmatic Entertainment, Rohan’s stories often carry the same quiet depth that defines him: thoughtful, layered, and never in a rush to impress.
Before he was scripting characters, he was studying them. A graduate of FLAME University, Rohan went on to hone his craft at the New York Film Academy and UCLA, collecting not just degrees, but perspectives. His path wound through advertising and digital media before settling into screenwriting—a space where he could finally let his stories breathe.
Friends call him “the calm in the chaos.” He’s the one who remembers your coffee order, who listens without interrupting, who notices the small things. For Anshula, he’s been all that and more. “My safe place. My person,” she wrote. And now, her forever.
He may not be a household name—yet—but in the story they’re writing together, Rohan is already the leading man.
When Family Speaks, the Heart Listens
Back in Mumbai, the Kapoor home felt a little fuller, even from across the world. Phones buzzed, group chats overflowed, and somewhere between emojis and voice notes, the news began to settle in: Anshula’s engaged.
Arjun Kapoor, usually the one holding space for everyone else, shared a photo that felt like a quiet exhale. “My life found her forever… Missed Mom a little extra today.” It wasn’t just a caption—it was a memory folded into joy, a moment where celebration and longing held hands.
Janhvi Kapoor, all sparkle and heart, couldn’t hold back. “My sister is engaged. The best for the best,” she wrote, her excitement practically dancing off the screen. And Khushi? She said what many were feeling, plain and true: “Crying.”
Even Boney Kapoor, who rarely speaks in public moments like these, left a comment that felt like a father’s arms reaching across oceans: “God bless you both. Waiting anxiously for you guys to come back and celebrate the engagement in your hometown at my house.”
It wasn’t just a milestone—it was a ripple. A moment that reached beyond time zones and Instagram grids. A reminder that when love is real, it doesn’t just belong to two people. It belongs to everyone who’s ever rooted for them.
