It was while pursuing CAT in Career Launcher that Ashneer fell in love with Madhuri Jain. Despite her family’s disapproval of him and calling him a refugee, Ashneer didn’t back off. Recalling his love story, Ashneer revealed:
“I was also adamant and her father came to know. Her dad felt betrayed and that too of a caste boy who isn't that well off. So for two years, her father took her back to Panipat. That is when I shifted to Ahmedabad for IIM. I still remember her uncle used to call me Refugee. He didn't even attend our wedding.”
On the same platform, Ashneer also talked about his wife, Madhuri’s miscarriage and their decision to move back to Delhi from Mumbai. Talking about the same, Ashneer shared:
“While I was working in Kotak, it was just Madhuri and me so we used to adjust the salary. Even when my parents used to come, they would leave in a day or two as they used to taunt me that my house is quite small. In the two years, we also started missing the family and if your roots aren't from Mumbai, then it is really difficult to stay for long. Then, Madhuri had a miscarriage and she went back to Delhi.”
