The couple exchanged the rings on Valentine’s Day (14th February). The couple will tie the knot later this year.
In the interview she also spoke about how she and Maneck met, revealing that they go back a long way right from school days.

“Actually, Maneck and I have known each other since our boarding-school days. He was three years my senior. Though we weren’t that familiar with each other back then, we’ve always had common friends. Last year, he posted about his new venture in Goa on a chat group, and I went there to review it. That was how we reconnected.”

Pooja Bedi further revealed that her children – daugter Aalia Furniturewalla and son Omar Ebrahim, really likes Maneck. Speaking about the same, she told Bombay Times that, “I got divorced on February 14, 2003, and got engaged on February 14, 2019. I have had relationships in between and my kids have liked every person that I have been with. But it is very different with Maneck — they adore him and want him in our lives forever, which is a wonderful feeling as a single parent. They are happy that I am settling down finally. They have wanted this for me for the longest time. It’s a wonderful phase — my son is studying abroad, my daughter is entering films and the empty nest syndrome that a lot of mothers face has been filled beautifully by this relationship and my journey ahead with Maneck.”
