He said that it was an arranged marriage and his wife is his family friend and they've known each other for several years. Both their parents were looking for an ideal match for their children when they suggested that the two should talk to each other. The couple started talking in April and started liking each other. 

Ankit Gera's wife Rashi flew to India three weeks before the wedding and they spent some quality time together. The actor mentioned that even though it was a short span of time, they got to know each other better. The actor was never fond of big fat Indian weddings and wanted to have a small affair. His family was fixing a date in December when he suggested that they should get married in a private ceremony. Only the people who mattered to them attended the wedding. The two are extremely different from each other. Rashi did not know that Ankit was an actor and liked him as a person. This quality of hers attracted him more.
