MUMBAI: Amrita Rao of Vivah fame has revealed that she turned down several film offers as she wasn't comfortable kissing her co-stars on screen. The actor said RJ Anmol, now her husband, could figure out what was happening and hence, asked her to quit films and marry him. She said that his request left her shattered but he later apologised to her after realising that his demand was unreasonable.

On being asked if RJ Anmol actually asked her to quit films, Amrita said, “That’s true. At that point, Anmol could see I was declining some huge movie offers only because I wasn’t comfortable doing kissing scenes and lovemaking sequences on screen. Hence, he thought it was the right time to focus on exploring a beautiful personal life and tying the knot. He did ask me to quit my career and I was completely shattered. However, in a day or two, he told me that in hindsight, he realised that demand was unreasonable and that he was sorry about it.”

Amrita had not delivered any film for a few years before she tied the knot with RJ Anmol in a secret wedding ceremony in 2014. The two welcomed a baby boy in 2020 and named him Veer.
