There’s something about Rakul Preet Singh that draws the eye. Pretty, poised and polite, she exudes confidence both on and off screen and is a natural before the camera. The atmosphere shifts as she breezes in for the shoot for Brides Today, the chic interiors of restaurant Lyla Bombay perfectly complementing the Amit GT Couture collection ready for her.
“I just love fashion shoots. They let me experiment so much with my looks, which is restricted when you’re shooting for a film… The two are different, of course, but I just love being in front of a camera, whether it’s moving or still,” she shares.
Just a few months into newlywed bliss, Rakul Preet is the picture of happiness. After years of dating, she tied the knot with film producer Jackky Bhagnani this February, though she maintains that life remains much the same for them. “It was a pretty seamless transition because the foundation of our relationship was friendship,” she says. “Jackky and I are great friends before anything else.”
As jovial and easy-going as she may seem, this actor is a woman of substance and the face of change, if her movies are anything to go by. “After Chhatriwali released, I received so many touching messages from smalltown women, thanking me for giving them a voice…” she says. And the upcoming year appears just as exciting for her…
Brides Today: It’s a little later in the year, but congratulations on your wedding! Tell us how you’ve been since you tied the knot with Jackky this Feb. How has life changed since then?
Rakul Preet Singh: Thank you so much! Well, I don’t think life has changed at all. It’s been such a seamless transition for both of us primarily because the foundation of our relationship is friendship. Jackky and I are great friends before anything else, great bouncing boards for each other’s problems and supporters of one another’s dreams.
