As the actor took quite some time to announce his marriage plans in media, the actress revealed that Shahid told her about it before telling it to the entire world. “Both of us were performing at a Femina event. We chatted. So, he actually told me about him getting married before he told the media. I’m very happy for him. He’s doing very well professionally… I haven’t seen Haider yet, but my sister saw it and loved it. And I can vouch for marriage being cool. I’d just like to wish him well.”
