While having a candid conversation with a leading entertainment daily when Ankur Rathee was asked about it, he said that he always knew that he was going to pop the question in 2020. Ankur said that the pandemic definitely threw a wrench in his plans, but where there's a will there's a way. Flying was too risky so Ankur had to drive across the United States of America to surprise Anuja Joshi and his wildly supportive family also enthusiastically agreed to join him. But, regardless of the activity these days, there are always risks of being exposed to the virus.

Ankur first created an itinerary of small towns with a very low number of cases and then researched for hotels that followed all the CDC guidelines. The actor then spoke to Anuja Joshi’s father about the family’s con fort and risk tolerance. Ankur said that it was an experience of a lifetime and he had kept it exactly how Anuja would want it to be, intimate, quiet, and with their loved ones. With the help of his family and Anuja Joshi’s twin sister, Aneesha Joshi, he managed to create the perfect moment to pop-up the question. After she said yes, one by one their family members started to show up. Ankur Joshi said that they were surrounded by love and light.
