As of now, she hasn’t cooked anything but my mother and sisters are helping her in understanding these things.”
In an interview with Bombay Times, when asked how it feels to get married in real-life, Anas had replied, “I feel content and complete. During the wedding, Heena's friends asked me how it feels to be married in real life after tying the knot on-screen.

When further probed why he chose for an arranged marriage set-up, Anas retorted, “I had complete faith on my parents' choice. Also, I felt that I was ready to take on the responsibilities associated with an arranged marriage, which is to take the immediate and extended families along. Heena is the perfect life partner for me. She is very honest and simple; these two qualities attracted me to her.” (Also Read: Shraddha Kapoor Has Asked Her Boyfriend, Rohan Shrestha To Not Work With Her Ex, Farhan Akhtar?)
