9 Bollywood Celebrities Who Married Foreigners
Despite having a progressive mindset, marriage remains the most difficult decision to make since it is one of the most crucial and life-changing decisions we will ever make. Weddings are about more than just festivities, customs, and love. It is the act of integrating two persons; it is the union of two souls into one, and it is a relationship that has no rivals in this world.
Marriage is a highly powerful partnership that offers two people a link that they much wanted. Marriage is a life-long commitment that you may not realise the importance of until you are married.
This holy link provides you with not just a life partner, but also another family member whom you can entirely trust. Marriage transforms your commitment into a team effort in which both spouses are the primary players and collaborate to achieve their objectives.
Marriage provides several advantages for both you and others around you. It promotes social cohesion and even contributes financially to society. It also helps both partners’ families and establishes a new link between them. But what if marriage is about bringing two distinct nationalities together?
While many individuals choose to marry within their own group, others seek love overseas since we all know that love is blind, and lovers are indifferent about religion, caste, creed, or place of birth, which is why these Indian celebrities sought love abroad. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s not the plot of the film. It really does happen. Things are different, though, when celebrities fall in love with a foreigner. However, one element remains consistent in every marriage: love.
So, let’s look at some Bollywood celebs that found their life partners from other countries:
1. Radhika Apte
In 2012, Radhika Apte married British musician Benedict Taylor. In a talk with actor Vikrant Massey, she joked that she had never believed in marriage and only wanted to live with Taylor. And they married to make things simpler because it was easier to obtain a visa after that. As she said,
“I am not a big marriage person, I don’t believe in the institution. I got married because my visa was really a problem and we wanted to live together. I think that’s not fair.”

2. Shriya Saran
In 2018, actress Shriya Saran married Andrei Koscheev, a Russian tennis player and businessman. The pair met while diving in the Maldives and quickly fell in love. While talking with Bombay Times, she said,
“We first met while I had gone diving in the Maldives. He didn’t even know who I was when we first met. It was only later that he found out I’m an actress. A few months after we met, he asked me, ‘Do you have a movie online?’ and I said, ‘Yes I do’. So then, he went ahead and watched it. That was sweet.”
3. Celina Jaitly
Celina Jaitly married Peter Haag, an Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier, in 2011, and the former Miss India reportedly knew she would marry him from the minute they met. Talking with iDiva,
“I met Peter for the first time in Dubai… There was an intense recognition in a part of me when I first saw Peter. Actually we did not speak anything to each other but I just knew from the moment he walked in that he was my husband even though we had never met before.”
4. Preity Zinta
In 2016, Preity Zinta married Gene Goodenough, her longtime lover. They initially met in Los Angeles, she confessed during a Facebook live chat. She said,
“I met him in Santa Monica in Los Angeles. Then we dated for five years and we finally got married.”

5. Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Priyanka Chopra and singer Nick Jonas chose to marry in 2018 after a long romance. In 2017, they were each other’s Met Gala dates, and a year later, they married. Sounds like a dream? But it’s a reality. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Priyanka Chopra said,
“Yeah, we were on the same table and we already know each other. So he was like ‘Hey, you wanna go together (to the Met Gala)?’”
6. Sunny Leone
Sunny Leone, who is of Indian descent, married Daniel Webber in 2011 following a long relationship. Since then, they’ve been blissfully married. Talking with Humans Of Bombay, Sunny Leone said,
“We met through Daniel’s band mate at a club in Vegas. He says it was love at first sight, not for me though, because all we did was make small talk–there weren’t any floating hearts or violins. But somehow he got my number & email ID. What I liked is that he didn’t call me, but emailed me instead–that’s how we began talking.”

7. Purab Kohli
In 2018, Purab Kohli married Lucy Payton, his live-in girlfriend in the United Kingdom. Inaya, 6, and Osian, 3, are their two gorgeous children. While talking with Hindustan Times, Purab Kohli said,
“We always wanted to get married, but didn’t want to rush into it. When Inaya was going to come into this world, it was a glorious moment by itself, and we didn’t want to dilute that by suddenly rushing into marriage. We had always planned that we will wait for the right time and the frame of mind, to get settled.”
8. Aashka Goradia
Brent Goble and television star Aashka Goradia married in 2017. They met for the first time in Las Vegas and quickly came close. While talking with Humans Of Bombay, she said,
“2 years ago, she decided to fly down to Vegas… When she walked in, I saw her & I just had to approach her. But when I did, she was cautious & cold. So, I kept on talking to her friend until she realised how approachable I was. I guess she couldn’t resist! At the end of the night, we exchanged numbers. Then she had to leave- it was one of those long goodbyes that just keeps you wanting more.”
9. Suchitra Pillai
In 2005, Suchitra Pillai married Lars Kjeldsen, an environmental engineer from Denmark. The two had met at a mutual friend’s home party and had supposedly linked right away. While talking with iDiva, she said,
“We met through common friends in Mumbai. Both of us were just out of relationships back then. We met at a house party and were playing Jenga. I remember the first thing Lars told me was this, ‘There’s no way that is going to fall, I am an engineer!’ To which I replied, ‘It’s not going to fall because of me either, because I am an engineer too.’”

10 Things That Will Make 90s Kid Nostalgia But Costs So Much Now
We all grow up, all of us, we do. Kudos! You are no longer part of the “cooler” vintage if you have recently developed back discomfort. We didn’t grow up with touch-screen phones, and unnervingly stalking an infatuation on Instagram wasn’t even a thing. Therefore, bachpan ka pyaar wasn’t as accessible then.
Life was nice except for that. Additionally, every child of the 1990s enjoyed themselves, most often in the form of trendy foods or toys. It’s not easy to be the person who gets up knowing that there are no official summer vacation days for them, and to have one, is to cut it out off your medical leave. It’s no fun either to watch the Netflix shows where the high school kids are enjoying their day and you’re sitting around, thinking of excuses just to cancel an outing, because you’re so done with socializing.
Well, that is not a phase, transformation happens, and here is a list of things that are gonna make you feel it even more:
1. Glow In The Dark Stars
These must have adhered to the rafters if Delhi children are to see the constellations. And while I don’t want to spoil the excitement, they are now offering a bundle with five stars and a moon for Rs. 150.
2. Bubble Maker
Getting these for just 10 bucks, was the star of the show. Or sometimes even researching to know which shampoo is the best to make your own bubble. The starting pricing strategy is now no plus or minus Rs. 150 to Rs. 200 due to the wide variety of sorts and options available.
3. Phantom Sweet Cigarettes
They now fall under the category of unique pieces that we look for. And what surprises me the most is not the price but the reality that they were formerly offered for one rupee. They are priced at $10 for a bundle, not including the obligation to pay whatever the website or the retailer demands just because they are not made anymore.
5. Clear Bag Folders
Having this in your bag while going to school was the best feeling ever. It was like a potential dress-up game, where you were able to play the role of a teacher. It used to cost only 2 bucks, but now it is not that cheap anymore and costs anywhere between Rs. 30.
6. Multi Storage Pencil Box
Imagine the feeling where you used to stack the pens at the bottom of the layer and the nicer ones at the top. Yes, and getting those for 50 bucks when you score great at the test felt like a reward. But now the basic ones cost literally Rs. 500 and more, which is basically the reel version of us saying, ’30 thousand’?
7. Trump Cards
These stamps start out at roughly 400 bucks, and they are not even the priciest versions. Honestly, though? We are in opulent circumstances.
8. Flair Multi-Colour Ball Pen
Writing projects with these pens made us feel like the main character. They used to be easily available and cheap. But now they are neither, and the packet costs Rs. 100 and up.
9. Add Gel Pen
When we converted from graphite to ink, we began with one of those markers. And the cost of all that memories is now Rs. 40. I’m sure you do remember. It was among the decent options and the most used gel pens.
10. Beyblade
If you can recall collecting them, you undoubtedly can recall losing your scholarship. Since they are not even just the main figures, the thread and revolving contraption now probably costs Rs. 350.

Anand Mahindra Gives Perfect Reply To A Twitter User Who Asked Him For His Qualification
People like Anand Mahindra don’t need any platform to go viral as they are anticipated to be already established names in different industries. But what makes Anand Mahindra so very special?
It’s none other than his down-to-earth personality and always ready-to-talk attitude!
Let me inform you that the Mahindra Group, a company with its headquarters in Mumbai, is led by Indian businessman Anand Gopal Mahindra, whom we are talking about. The corporation operates in a variety of industries, including agriculture, the automobile aftermarket, components, aerospace, defence, energy, farm equipment, finance and insurance, construction equipment, industrial equipment, information technology, leisure and hospitality, real estate, and retail.
Now, you’ve probably already realized that he’s a well-known person with a sizable following across a variety of social networking sites. But that’s not the case with him. Although he enjoys a mass following across social media platforms, it is not majorly because of what you think.
He enjoys it because of the content he uploaded on his social media accounts, which garnered him a social media-friendly image.
Anand Mahindra is a frequent Twitter user who has always been popular on social media sites for his clever one-liners and amusing postings, and that’s why his followers refer to his Twitter feed as a treasure trove of intriguing and thought-provoking films.
In continuation of this, the Mahindra Group Chairman posted a photo of a young girl reading in the forest as part of his Monday motivational message. He tweeted about her because he was quite amazed by her dedication and sincerity toward her studies.
By quoting the photograph clicked by another user, Abhishek Dubey, on Twitter, he tweeted,
Beautiful photograph, Abhishek.
She is my #MondayMotivation https://t.co/NMViCvaAwO— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) June 27, 2022
While the majority of users praised his most recent inspirational message, one person in the comments section questioned Anand Mahindra’s credentials. On Mahindra’s tweet, a Twitter user named Vaibhav Salkar commented,
“Sir may I know your qualification?”
Sir may I know your qualification?
— Vaibhav SD (@vaibhavdasalkar) June 27, 2022
Soon after this, Anand Mahindra reacted to that, and of course, his incredible answer once again captured the hearts of online users. Quoting his comment, he tweeted,
“Frankly, at my age, the only qualification of any merit is experience…”
Frankly, at my age, the only qualification of any merit is experience… https://t.co/azCKBgEacF
— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) June 27, 2022
The post has received more than 3,600 likes and more than 163 retweets since it was shared a few hours ago. And it appears that the numbers are rising. People have flocked to the comments area as a result of his befitting reply.
As one user commented,
Experience is bigger than any degrees
— Miss Tokyo (@MSTokyo18) June 27, 2022
While another user commented,
I don’t know why PPL in India people are so obsessed with degree and qualifications..
Only quality matters is your hunger for learning and giving your 100%— bhawna priya (@bhawnapriya10) June 27, 2022
One user said,
Sir to khud chairman hain hum jaise logo ko degrees and experience ki jarurat hoti. M I right? 😂
— सहायक प्रबंधक (@Innocentbanker2) June 27, 2022
A few days ago, Anand Mahindra attracted attention for offering a job to Agniveer aspirants. While many supported him, some others criticized him. He has always been like this. He shares his thoughts on Twitter without getting obligated about who he is. And that’s why his tweets always get attention.
What do you think about him?

R. Madhavan Honest Reply After Being Trolled For Saying ‘ISRO Used Panchang For Mars Mission’
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, a forthcoming pan-Indian movie, a directorial debut by R Madhavan, is presently scheduled for release.
Speaking about the movie, since the beginning, it has been one of the talked-about topics throughout the world. One of the most talked-about movies at the Cannes Film Festival was the historical drama based on the life of Nambi Narayanan, who was ISRO’s former genius scientist and aerospace engineer. He was accused of spying but after battling a long legal fight, he gets the clean chit.
A formidable ensemble cast, comprising renowned foreign performers like Phyllis Logan, Vincent Riotta, and Ron Donachie as well as special cameos by superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Suriya, makes up the movie, which stars Madhavan in the titular character of Nambi Narayanan. The film also has Rajit Kapur, Simran, Misha Ghoshal, Ravi Raghavendra, Muralidaran, Shyam Renganathan, and Karthik Kumar.
R. Madhavan started the film’s promotional campaign and everything was going well but soon something went unusual when Madhavan’s comments on ISRO employing Panchang for the Mars Orbiter Mission. His comments went viral on various social media platforms and made lots of noise.
R. Madhavan controversial statement
In his interview in Telugu, as per TM Krishna’s translation, he said,
“Indian rockets did not have the three engines (solid, liquid and cryogenic) that helps western rockets propel themselves into Mars’ orbit. Since India lacked this… used information in the Panchangam.”
“It has the celestial map with all information on various planets, gravitation pulls, sun’s flares deflection etc., all calculated perfectly 1000s of years ago and hence the micro-second the launch was calculated using this info. The rocket was launched, it went around the earth, moon and Jupiter’s moon and ricochet like a play thing and put into Mar’s orbit”.
Here’s what he said:
When panjakam plays a important role in Mars mission #Madhavan #MarsMission #science #technology #sciencefiction pic.twitter.com/tnZOqYfaiN
— கல்கி (@kalkyraj) June 23, 2022
The Rocketry actor’s remarks have angered internet users, especially R Madhavan’s devoted followers, who allege that he has now transitioned from being a “Chocolate Boy” to a “WhatsApp Uncle.”
As one user said,
Science is not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s ok not to know Science. But it’s better to keep your bloody mouth shut when you’ve no idea as to how things actually work; instead of quoting some WhatsApp stuff and making a mockery of yourself #Madhavan #Rocketry #MarsMission

While another user said,
madhavan is the best example for “he’s cute until he opens his mouth” https://t.co/A91dbP8XO6
— Pavitra (@pavitrash_) June 23, 2022
But now Madhavan has reacted to all this by accepting his mistake in a tweet which said,
“I deserve this for calling the Almanac the “Panchang” in tamil. Very ignorant of me.❤️Though this cannot take away for the fact that what was achieved with just 2 engines by us in the Mars Mission. A record by itself. @NambiNOfficial. Vikas engine is a rockstar.”
