If you didn’t know already, a brand-new Sunday Brunch episode is out, and this one was quite different from the usual! Instead of stepping into a celebrity home that’s all decked up and ready to impress, our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, visited newlywed Akansha Ranjan Kapoor’s still-under-construction home that was filled with warmth and honesty and still looked quite Pinterest-coded! Welcoming Curly Tales with a warm and hearty brunch, Akansha opened up about her new home, life after marriage and even revealed how she played cupid for her friends Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul.
Akansha Ranjan Kapoor Played Cupid For Athiya & KL Rahul
For those unaware, actresses Athiya Shetty and Akansha Ranjan Kapoor are close friends and are often spotted together. In fact, Athiya even served as a bridesmaid at Akansha’s wedding to filmmaker Sharan Sharma in Mumbai in July this year and shared an emotional tribute for her best friend.
During the conversation, Akansha revealed that her friendship with Athiya grew stronger because she was trying to set her up with KL Rahul. “Athiya and I got closer because I was trying to set her and Rahul up. That’s how she and I became very close,” she shared.
She went on to explain that she was good friends with both Athiya and Rahul, who were already in the chatting phase at the time. That’s when Akansha decided to play cupid and help bring the two closer. She revealed that Rahul even created a group chat and would poke her to do their “setting”.
According to Akansha, playing cupid is something she genuinely enjoys, proudly calling herself the “Queen Settler” of the world. “I thrive on setting people up, I love it,” she admitted.

Ghar Ka Khana & Her Relationship With Food
Being an actress, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor admits that she usually follows a strict diet, although she does indulge in the occasional cheat day with burgers and fries. On most days, however, she prefers good old ‘ghar ka khana’.
She also opened up about her relationship with food and her weight journey. Akansha shared that she was skinny as a child but gained weight during her school years before losing a significant amount of it when she was around 21-22. Since 2016, she said she has gained some weight again and has been on a “journey to lose weight”.
“I don’t enjoy eating out; I don’t enjoy cheat meals. If I do cheat, I feel very guilty. I don’t have the healthiest relationship with food, but I am getting better,” she admitted.
And honestly, this kind of raw honesty from a celebrity is refreshing. We often see the picture-perfect images and polished on-screen personas and forget that celebrities, too, have their own struggles and insecurities to navigate. Akansha’s candid admission is a reminder that even behind the glamour, there are very real and relatable journeys happening.
