She also reacted to the trolls who have been attacking her for marrying someone outside of her religion.

Quoted by Hindustan Times, the actress expressed that if she would have had a grand wedding the netizens would have called her a gold digger. Revealing how he has his name in the fitness industry, she said, “He’s not from the industry but he’s well settled. He has his own name in the fitness industry.
