On May 12, 2020, Rana Daggubati had taken to his Instagram handle and had shared a picture with his soulmate, Miheeka Bajaj.

Within few weeks, Rana and Miheeka had tied the knot amidst the lockdown in an intimate wedding with 30 people. While everyone was rooting for the new couple, many wanted to know how love brewed between them. Recently, Rana opened up on his marriage with Miheeka in an interview with Neha Dhupia for her show, #NoFilterWithNeha. Talking about how love brewed between Rana and Miheeka, the actor shared, "I know Miheeka for a very long time because my sister and she went to school together. So, I’ve known her pretty much all my life and there’s only a handful of people who move from Hyderabad to Bombay. So, we got talking during lockdown and I said okay, this is right and that’s about it. So, when good things happen, I don’t question too much, I just go. Everyone’s got a timeline, it’s okay. That’s fine."
Rana also opened up on his wedding in a studio due to the lockdown period, and said, "Honestly, there’s no filming happening, anywhere. Obviously, because a time like Covid, like the way we are in right now, it's got social distancing, it's got the least number of people, a studio is the only place where you have a place, right? So, I was like okay there you go. And everybody thought it was a great idea. It was five minutes from my house. Only two friends of mine were at the wedding. So, it's like 30 people, I think less than that. Two of my friends who also live with me. Ya, so everyone was tested and then it was like a huge lawn where only thirty people were, so it was fine. It was a lawn & a car park, together. I think we just made that one and then there you go, enough space for everybody."

So, we shot it in Virtual Reality and sent a bunch of VR boxes and sweets and stuff for family and some friends. So, they got to see it live. So in VR it feels like you are actually at the wedding. Now, my family is calling me and they want other VR stuff on it. They are like what else do we watch on this now?"
