Bringing a spot of sunshine into the tough times, singer Monali Thakur talked about secretly being married to Swiss restaurateur Maik Richte for three years. The singer revealed during an interview with Times Of India that she has been married since 2017.
She said, “I haven’t made it official anywhere on social media yet, but people had already guessed it. A couple of times when my ring was mistakenly visible in my Instagram photos, a lot of people commented, asking if it was my wedding ring. That said, Maik and I have successfully been able to hide our marriage for three years.”
Moreover, Monali Thakur also revealed that this news will be a surprise to her friends from the industry. According to the singer, no one was even invited to the wedding.
She shared, “The news of my marriage will come as a shock to many as none of my industry friends were aware or invited. We kept delaying the ceremony and announcement and three years just passed by.”
In fact, the Badri Ki Dulhania singer said that she knows she will be getting an earful from her friends for hiding the news. She said, “Mujhe pata hai bahot gali padne wali hai logon se, but I think when we have our wedding ceremony and invite people for the celebrations, they won’t be upset anymore.”
The couple met in Switzerland and had an immediate connection. Maik proposed to her on Christmas Eve 2016 at the same spot where they had first met.
