When Jackky Bhagnani met Rakul Preet Singh's father

Rakul was asked if Jackky felt nervous about meeting her father. To this, she first laughed and then replied that more than Jackky, she herself was worried about the situation. “I prepped my dad and told him ‘he is coming and meeting you for the first time. Do not make it very awkward. He is not an army. But then fathers being fathers ask the question straight up. But Jackky was prepared,” Rakul added.

Jackky met Rakul's family for the first time at her mother's birthday party in 2021. The actress added that she also prepared Jackky and asked him not to worry as her father wouldn't ask anything. Recalling their conversation, Rakul said, that they were having lunch when her dad asked what his plan was. "Jackky started with plans for his next release Mission Raniganj. My dad just said, ‘Work and all is good but what is your plan with my daughter’. My food got stuck in my throat.”

However, Jackky remained calm and won the heart of her father with his response. “The funniest thing was that he just took it very well and said, ‘Whenever she is ready, I am ready’. And that was it, my father became a fan,” she concluded.
