It is indeed a happy moment for Anas who also revealed that he will get married later this year.

“The engagement took place on Sunday in my hometown only. It was lovely… Everyone had been saying we weren’t told about you getting married, so, we thought this would be a formal get together where we will exchange rings. Marriage should hopefully happen later this year. I am still in my hometown. I needed this break from work. But I will get started once I come back to Mumbai,” Anas told Indian Express.

According to the media reports, Rashid's fiance is 14 year younger to him. Interestingly, Anas had always wanted to have an arranged marriage.

“I always wanted to marry a simple girl and Hina is exactly that. I had left the responsibility of choosing my life partner to my mother because no one knows me better than her," the actor had once told in one of his interviews.

Heartiest congratulations to the recently engaged couple.
