On being asked if RJ Anmol actually asked her to quit films, Amrita told Times of India in an interview, “That’s true. At that point, Anmol could see I was declining some huge movie offers only because I wasn’t comfortable doing kissing scenes and lovemaking sequences on screen. Hence, he thought it was the right time to focus on exploring a beautiful personal life and tying the knot. He did ask me to quit my career and I was completely shattered. However, in a day or two, he told me that in hindsight, he realised that demand was unreasonable and that he was sorry about it.”

Amrita had not delivered any film since a few years before she tied the knot with RJ Anmol in a secret wedding ceremony in 2014. The two welcomed a baby boy in 2020 and named him Veer.

The couple recently revealed on their YouTube channel that they tied the knot in a secret wedding in 2014 to make sure that the wedding news didn't hamper her career. Anmol said in the video, “I thought that if we can keep our affair a secret for 4-5 years, can we not hide our marriage too.”
