Who is Anshula Kapoor’s husband?

Rohan Thakkar is a screenwriter who married Anshula Kapoor in July 2026. He was born on 15 November 1993, studied advertising and marketing at FLAME University in Pune and later trained in screenwriting at the New York Film Academy, mid-day reported.

His early jobs were in social media marketing and copywriting in India, followed by a role as an executive assistant at a talent and music management company in Los Angeles. His listed writing and script supervision credits include the short films The Novelist and Never Too Late, both from 2016, and Nimbus from 2018. Mid-day added that he is reported to be working as a freelance writer with Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital arm of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Unlike his wife’s family, he has largely stayed out of the public eye.

How they met

Anshula and Rohan matched on a dating app in 2022, and the friendship turned into a relationship, according to mid-day and the Times of India. They made the relationship public in July 2025, the Indian Express reported.

Anshula had kept a low profile for most of her life. In a 2019 interview she said films had never been in her “top five” of things she wanted to do, and she studied urban planning in New York before taking a job in Delhi. That year she launched Fankind, an online fundraising platform where fans pledge money for a chance to spend time with a celebrity, with 70 per cent of the contributions meant for charity, the Indian Express reported.

The proposal in New York

Rohan proposed to Anshula in Central Park, New York, in July 2025, the Times of India reported. The families then held a private Gor Dhana ceremony on 2 October 2025, according to ANI, and the couple formally got engaged that month, with an engagement party in Mumbai.

Before the wedding, Anshula took a bachelorette trip to Seoul with close friends, whom she called the “Seoulsters for life” on social media.

The July 2026 wedding at Taj Lands End

The festivities began on Sunday, 21 June, ANI reported, with Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Maheep Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor among the family members at the first gathering, a Mata Ki Chowki. The later functions mixed Punjabi and Gujarati ceremonies. The chooda and mehendi were held on Sunday, 5 July, and the pheras took place on the evening of Monday, 6 July, according to the Indian Express.

Arjun Kapoor walked his sister down the aisle, while half-sisters Janhvi and Khushi stood beside her. “I have seen you grow up and become this wonderful woman who represents our Mom every step of the way,” Arjun wrote afterwards, in a note shared by the Indian Express. After the rituals the couple registered their marriage. The reception was held at the same hotel the next day.

A cocktail evening during the celebrations featured a live performance by Himesh Reshammiya, with videos of Ranveer Singh, Arjun and Anil Kapoor dancing going viral, the Times of India reported. Prime Minister Narendra Modi later sent the family a letter of congratulations, which Boney Kapoor shared on Instagram, according to ANI.

Anshula captioned her first wedding photos with a note to Rohan: “My favourite conversation. My safest place. My easiest choice. Always you.”

The heirloom dupatta from Mona Kapoor

The centre of Anshula’s bridal look was her late mother’s 42-year-old gold tissue and zardozi dupatta, The Hollywood Reporter India reported. Mona Kapoor died in 2012, and a framed portrait of her was placed beside the mandap during the rituals.

“Everything else was built around it,” Anshula wrote of the dupatta. Designed with Tarun Tahiliani, the outfit combined Kashida embroidery and zari work with a bandhini gharchola dupatta as a nod to the family she was marrying into, and Phulkari borders as a tribute to her Punjabi roots.
