Former Miss India International and actor Pooja Batra has confirmed her wedding to Dabangg 3 actor Nawab Shah. She has taken to Instagram to post some beautiful photographs of her wedding. The first shows her wearing a saree with a veil on her head. Nawab sports a beige kurta. In the second, Pooja wears a lehenga and Nawab a sherwani.
The actor also shared a photo with her mother.
Earlier in an interview with Bombay Times, Pooja Batra revealed that the couple had exchanged vows in Delhi with only their family members in attendance. “We had an Arya Samaj wedding, and we will register our marriage this week,” she said.
On 12 July, Pooja posted an Instagram story in which she was wearing choora, traditional bangles worn by newly married women, which led several to speculate that the couple had tied the knot. Nawab shared a few photos from their wedding celebrations. Check them out:
Pooja and Nawab decided to get married within five months of knowing each other. She told the publication that she had known Nawab having been in the same industry but “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 that he is a family person,” she said. The Virasat actor revealed that Nawab wanted to pop the question early on in the relationship but got nervous and backed out. He eventually proposed to Pooja in Delhi.
Pooja Batra was previously married to Sonu Ahluwalia, an orthopaedic surgeon based in the US. The couple parted ways in 2011 after nine years of marriage.
