Recently, there were news doing the rounds that bollywood actress Pooja Batra and Nawab Shah ties the knot secretly. However, the duo didn’t react on the same.
But now, Pooja confirms her wedding with Nawab. While talking to Bombay times, the actress revealed that she tied the knot with the Tiger Zinda Hai actor on July 4.
She said, “Yes, we are married. Nawab and I exchanged vows in Delhi, with only our families in attendance. Our loved ones kept asking us why we were delaying it (the marriage). I was simply going with the flow, but then I realised that he is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, and there is no point in delaying it any further. So, here we are. We had an Arya Samaj wedding, and we will register our marriage this week,” Pooja said.

“I knew of Nawab by virtue of being in the same profession. However, we strongly connected after we were reintroduced by a common friend in February this year. I guess we reconnected at the right time in our life. We were in the same space emotionally and hit it off instantly. I have always respected and liked Nawab, and this time around, I was open to the idea of getting to know him better. A part of me wanted to see if there could be something beyond friendship between us. We share emotional and intellectual compatibility, and we don’t have to explain too much to each other. I like the fact that he is a family person.” she added.

When Pooja was asked about how romantic was Nawab’s proposal, she said “During the initial days of our relationship, there was this one time when he came to pick me up at the airport, and according to him, he wanted to pop the question right then. However, he got nervous and dropped the idea (laughs!). He was ready to propose to me soon after we met. Eventually, he proposed to me in Delhi, and again when he came to meet my parents with his family.”

Speaking about the tough phase of her life, when she had got divorced from her husband for nine years, Dr Sonu S. Ahluwalia, Pooja Batra stated, “Everybody goes through phases. I survived one of the most difficult ones, as I was alone in a foreign country. But then, that’s life, isn’t it? You learn as you grow and your mindset also changes with time. Life is all about learning and getting better. Every relationship is different, what works for one couple might not work for another. But what I have realised with time is to be respectful towards your partner, because what you give is what you receive.”
The news of Pooja and Nawab’s secret wedding leaked after they shared photos on Instagram where Pooja can be seen wearing a chooda – traditional bangles worn by newly married women.
Our heartiest congratulations to the couple!
