“I Call Him Annapurna”: Kriti Kharbanda Talks About the Late-Night Drive That Made Her Fall in Love with Pulkit Samrat Again

Bollywood love stories are often full of glamour. But some of the most important ones happen in quiet, everyday moments. One such story is about Kriti Kharbanda and Pulkit Samrat.

Kriti told filmmaker Karan Johar about a personal memory that helped her decide to marry Pulkit. The moment had nothing to do with fame, success, or wealth, which is interesting.

A Quiet Drive and a Private Relationship

Kriti talked about a late-night drive through Bandra that brought back memories of the early days of their relationship. The couple was keeping their relationship a secret at the time.

While they were driving through the city, a Lamborghini sped by them. Kriti instinctively turned to Pulkit and asked him a simple but revealing question.

What would he do if he ever had “andha paisa,” or unlimited money?

An Answer That Changed Everything

Pulkit answered right away. He didn’t talk about cars, big houses, or luxury.

Instead, he said he would build a Gurudwara and make sure it serves food all the time.

Kriti’s life changed completely because of that one sentence.

“Pyaar Happened All Over Again”

Kriti said that at that moment, she knew Pulkit was the man she wanted to be with for the rest of her life.
She said with a smile, “Pyaar happened all over again.”

It wasn’t her drive or way of life that won her over. It was his natural kindness and understanding.

Why She Calls Him “Annapurna”

Kriti said with love that she calls Pulkit “Annapurna” at home. The nickname shows how much he wants to help others and give back.

This quality is what makes him who he is to her.

A Love Story Based on Values

The news hit home online. Fans praised the couple for being honest about their feelings and having strong values.

Kriti and Pulkit’s love story stands out in an industry that is often known for being over the top. It shows that a single sentence on a late-night drive can change everything.
