Television queen and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein fame, Anita Hassanandani recently participated in The Spartan Poker's Millionaire tournament, and she bagged the 4th place and took home INR 5.5 Lakhs.

Anita was recently spotted in Raj Kundra's poker venture Match India Poker League' (Match IPL), playing for the Mumbai All-Stars. Although she is new to the online poker scene but Teen Patti has always been her game of choice.

"I have always been in love with the thrill of unpredictability. And gambling tops that. So, I have always loved playing a few hands every now and then, especially during Diwali or my visits to Goa. While 'Teen Patti' has been my poison, I recently got to learn Poker at Match IPL, when I was associated with Mumbai All Stars owned by Harman Baweja," shared the actress.

She also said, "While I started out one among 1900+ entrants, it was fine but I started feeling the gravity when I was in the top 100 after a couple of hours. Thereon, the stakes started to go up and so did my blood pressure. The kicker was when I was in the final 18, which essentially means, on one of the last two tables of the night. I was clenching my husband's hand all through and I think I also left a few nail marks on his skin! But the entire experience was unreal and to be in the top 4 is just totally inexplicable."

She is known for her role, Anjali, in the hit television series Kkavyanjali. And she is currently seen playing the character - Shagun Arora in Ye Hai Mohabbatein on Star Plus.

Well, we wish the actor hearty congratulations on bagging the fourth place in the tournament.
