Anupamaa actress Adrija Roy to get engaged on January 25 - Exclusive

Adrija Roy, currently seen as Raahi in Anupamaa, is set to get engaged to Mumbai-based Vignuesh Iyer on January 25. The intimate ceremony, attended by family members and friends, will take place at his farmhouse.

Recalling how they met, Adrija shares, “We first met in May last year at a common friend’s party. We instantly liked each other’s personalities, and he showed interest in getting to know me better. After that, we started talking on Instagram and decided to plan a proper meeting. We went on our first date in early June.”

Talking about what drew them to each other, she says, “I think it was our personalities that brought us closer. We are both very soft and down-to-earth. I had always wanted to be with someone outside my industry, and he felt just right. We feel like soulmates.”

A shared love for animals further strengthened their bond. “He has around 260 dogs and also takes care of cows at his farmhouse. We both share a deep love for animals, and that common bond connected us very quickly. I truly believe God planned this for us,” she adds.

The actress has applied for a three-day leave for the engagement ceremony. Although she is a principal cast member and required for several scenes, she credits her production team for working around her absence seamlessly. She says, “My production house has been extremely supportive and understanding, especially during important moments. They have always helped me during critical situations, and even for my engagement, they were very kind and cooperative. They will manage the shoot by planning scenes in advance and scheduling close shots. I have already invited my DKP team, and depending on their schedules, those who can manage will join. I truly appreciate their support and am grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive team.”

As for wedding plans, Adrija says the couple is not rushing into marriage. “We don’t plan to get married this year. He is South Indian (Tamil), and I am Bengali, so our cultures are completely different. My dream is to get married following both South Indian and Bengali traditions. That needs proper time and planning, so we are thinking of getting married within the next two years,” she shares.
