"I had prepped my dad saying dont make it awkward because we had just started dating," said Rakul Preet Singh
Rakul Preet Singh married her longtime boyfriend Jackky Bhagnani last month in an intimate ceremony in Goa in the presence of her friends and family. In an interview with DNA, Rakul Preet recalled how her father, who served as an Indian Army officer, grilled her husband Jackky, when they first met in 2021. When asked if Jackky was nervous when he met his then-girlfriend's father, Rakul Preet Singh said, “I think I was the most worried. I prepped my dad and told him ‘He is coming and meeting you for the first time. Do not make it very awkward. He is not army.' But then fathers being fathers... ask the question straight up. But Jackky was prepared.”
She added, "He had come to Delhi for my mom's birthday. I had prepped my dad saying don't make it awkward because we had just started dating. I told him ‘You just see the boy'. I told Jackky not to worry because he won't ask anything. Then we were having lunch and my dad asked him what his plan was. He started with plans for his next release Mission Raniganj. My dad just said, ‘Work and all is good but what is your plan with my daughter'. My food got stuck in my throat.”
The Doctor G actress said, it was Jackky's answer to the above that won her dad over. He said, "whenever she is ready."
