MUMBAI: Richa Sony, who rose to fame with Bhagyavidhaata, is married to entrepreneur Jigar Ali Sumbhaniya. She had two wedding ceremonies, a Bengali shaadi and nikaah. 

The actress said to media, “I am a Bengali born and brought up in Bihar. So, we followed Bengali rituals for the first wedding, which happened in Mumbai. The second ceremony happened in Ajmer Sharif.” 

Like most love stories, theirs, too, had to face a few hiccups initially. Richa’s parents were averse to her getting married into another religion. She said, “Religion was an issue earlier, because our customs and traditions are completely different. But, they gave in when they realised that Jigar will keep me happy at any cost. It’s the person that makes your world beautiful, and in my case, it’s Jigar. Today, I can say that I am not a Hindu or a Muslim, but a human first. Also, both Jigar and I are quite liberal. We compliment and complete each other.” 

Talking about her love story, the actress shared, “With him, I have learnt the true meaning of being myself.” 

They are truly giving the society inspirational goals and we wish them a very happy married life ahead!
