They made for a very nice moment on the internet this Friday. With a soft Instagram post to mark the occasion, the couple’s news was met with an outpouring of support that you could see piling up in the comments in no time at all.
Bollywood cheers drown out the algorithm
The likes and well-wishes came in hot. It has been close to four years since they tied the knot in Mumbai back in 2021, and you can see how much the two have put in to get to where they are now.
Some of the more notable messages we saw:
– Ananya Panday: ‘Aw yay! Congratulations.’
– Mouni Roy: ‘Heartiest congratulations.’
– Sonakshi Sinha: ‘Omgggggg congratulationsssss guyyyysss.’
And they were not alone in it. Wishes also came in from Vaani Kapoor, Manish Malhotra, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Sonal Chauhan, Rakul Preet Singh and Kushal Tandon, which says something about the kind of people they are in this town.
The reveal: tender, stylish, unmistakably them
If you look at the photos they put up, you’ll see a view that’s as pretty as a postcard. Anushka is in a black bodycon, looking every bit the part as she holds her bump, and Aditya is right there with her in all black, sporting a T-shirt with a little wink in Hindi that makes it clear who the dad is.
They let the caption do the talking: ‘I’ve waited a hundred years, But I’d wait a million more for you. Nothing prepared me for, What the privilege of being yours would do.' A bit of poetry, a lot of feeling – very much in their style.
Why this pairing has fans so invested
There is a certain quality to their romance. They were introduced at a do by Anushka’s side of the family and, if you believe the stories, it was a bit of an odd start. But that was enough to get things going and build a real connection.
Four years of dating later, he got down on one knee in Paris for her birthday. Their 2021 nuptials were a spectacle, and ever since, they’ve been putting out the occasional behind-the-scenes of a relationship that is as fun as it is serious.
What comes next for the couple
As for Aditya, he’s been in Khel Khel Mein with a cast that includes Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu and others. Now he has a part to play with more on the line: being a father.
In the end, it’s a straightforward, happy note from a couple who don’t need to make a fuss to be liked. You have your friends and followers on board, and Aditya and Anushka are moving on to the next thing, with a dash of class and a funny T-shirt to boot.
