Well, soon after Ankur shared the good news with all his followers, a lot of celebrities came forth to congratulate the actor on him on his special moment.
The picture shared by Ankur sees him going down on one knee to propose marriage to his ladylove. Anuja's expressions to the same are priceless. She is happy, excited and emotional.

You both," while Maanvi Gagroo commented, “Omg congratulations you guys.”
Earlier, opening up on how he and Anuja made their long-distance relationship work, Ankur had written, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder, they say. Well, @anujabomajoshi and I have put that to the test many times in our relationship, including the 3 years we lived in different countries. While most of us tend to focus on the challenges of long-distance relationships, I also think it has its own perks."

The actor added, "When you can’t rely on your partner’s physical presence or touch to stay connected, you are forced to communicate better, listen intently, argue respectfully, value her time, or attune to his emotional needs. You learn to love through creative gestures and express passion through words. You cherish every bit of kindness. This quarantine has led Anuja and me down that path again and we are welcoming it. Date nights are inevitably different now, but we keep finding more creative and quirky ways to make it work."
Here's congratulating the lovely couple!
