Actor Rakul Preet Singh and producer Jackky Bhagnani began 2024 on a high note, tying the knot in February. This year has been a transformative one for the couple, marked by milestones and personal growth. As the year ends, the duo looks back on how their relationship has positively shaped their lives.
Speaking about Rakul’s influence, Jackky shared, “She’s completely changed my perspective on punctuality. Coming from an army background, being on time is second nature to her, and she’s instilled that in me too. Beyond that, she’s taught me to see the good in people and balance work with personal life.”
For Rakul, Jackky has been a source of unwavering happiness. “He has a knack for handling tough situations with ease. His ability to make me laugh during low moments is incredibly assuring. More importantly, he gives me space to vent and checks in on my emotional and mental well-being. That level of understanding is priceless,” she revealed.
Marriage has brought a new dimension to their lives, including a shift in their approach to date nights. Rakul humorously noted, “During the dating phase, there’s so much effort to impress, but marriage changes that. Now, it’s about spending time together rather than worrying about appearances. Of course, we dress appropriately, but if it’s a home date, pajamas work just fine. For dinners out, we dress smartly, but honestly, it’s the paparazzi we’re trying to impress more than each other.”
Jackky shared his take, adding, “Date night outfits depend on the setting. For casual nights, I stick to relaxed jeans, a T-shirt, or a pullover, sometimes paired with a hat.”
The couple also addressed the scrutiny that comes with being in the public eye. Rakul, however, remains unfazed. “Being in the media spotlight means accepting it all—both the good and the challenging. I’m secure in who I am and refuse to bow to the pressure of always looking perfect. There’s too much emphasis on appearances, but I’ve made peace with not taking that burden,” she concluded.
As they prepare to welcome 2025, Rakul and Jackky embody the essence of partnership—mutual respect, personal growth, and unwavering support for each other.
