Wife & Children
In December 2012, Sahil Anand got married to his long-time girlfriend Rajneet Monga, who works in a corporate firm, in a secret wedding ceremony. When asked why he kept his marriage a secret in an interview, Sahil explained,
Honestly, I’m a very private person and keep things to myself. I don’t share anything about my family – things like what happened or what happened, and I like to keep it that way. I have very few friends in the industry and I don’t hang out or socialize much. I like to keep things on the surface and I would ask the media to let this happen and try to understand. Look, my partner comes from the corporate world and is not part of this industry. So, when he saw all this, it really bothered him.

I took time but then everything was fine with time. But, suddenly abhi uski brought out ki baat huyi ek tarah se pitching ho rahi thi…toh woh phir se mere saamne movie aayi (there is talk of its release, pitching is going on…I had to face the movie again) and it started bothering me. I can not sleep. Things are not so great anymore.”
