Hospitality Partner: The Hyatt Regency @hyattregencykathmanduIt’s the end of a long shoot day and we find ourselves in Anna and Sushant’s makeup room; Anna is folded into a two-seater couch with Sushant, still dressed in a black outfit from her last shot. The two share an easy camaraderie, having spent the better half of the last year planning, filming and releasing the music video “Sarangi” on YouTube.
“He had written a few lines of Sarangi almost six years back and could only complete the song after he met me,” laughs Anna.
Starting his career in music in 2016, Sushant has made a name for himself for his distinct style and appeal creating hit after hit songs that resonate with his growing fan base. He is also recognised for his collaboration with big names in the industry and a strong social media presence. The 26-year old artiste is seen as a name to watch out for in the music industry.
Annapurna Sharma also known as Anna started her career in Nepali cinema when she was just 14. Anna has worked in three films so far. Jerry, Gangster Blues and The Man from Kathmandu.
Together, Anna and Sushant are seen as the ‘it’ couple that blend talent, looks and glamour. The duo have been in a relationship for some years now but chose to stay away from the limelight until last year when they were seen together for the music video Sarangi, and the chemistry was hard to ignore. As the reel and real-life couple checks off more milestones, WOW talks to them about some of the little details of their relationship.
How did we meet
“We have met each other at various parties and events leading to many small talks. She used to complement my songs and I used to ask about her next release,” smiles Sushant.
But they didn’t really get to know each other. They were working together which meant they would meet more often and one thing led to another. “We also live close by and make sure that we meet every day whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just for coffee whenever possible,” shares Anna.
The PDA gets more public
He may be many things, but we are afraid that subtlety isn’t one of Sushant’s strong suits. Their frequent PDA on Instagram; Sushant has a permanent spot in the comments section of Anna’s posts, wearing his heart on his sleeve with a string of relatable emojis.
While they continued to attend parties together, the love birds treated their fans to some more of their brand of romance. “Anna is shy and I am someone who likes to express my feelings instantly,” Sushant says.
You can see their sizzling chemistry in our special issue cover shoot. If the photoshoot here left you feeling short of breath, the lovebirds packed in a fun WOW Q&A video available on WOW magazine’s YouTube channel. All in a day’s work!
Red flags in the relationship
Anna says there are no red flags about Sushant. “I simply love him the way he is, absolutely,” she says. While Sushant quips, “Too many male best friends is a red flag for me.”
The perfect date
“We love staying in and cooking dinner together. These intimate moments are a true luxury in today’s fast paced world,” says Anna. When asked what does the couple cook best, Sushant adds, “I am good with making Wai-Wai and helping Anna. She bakes a mouthwatering pineapple cake. Though I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.”
On vacation
While Anna is a beach person, Sushant is a mountain person. “We make sure the vacation has both aspects,” laughs Anna.
When the couple came together for the cover photoshoot, Sushant walked around and complained, “Nobody looks at anything else when Anna is in the frame.”
