Singer Neeti Mohan and her husband actor Nihar Pandya have been blessed with a baby boy. And Nihar just can’t stop preening. When I contacted him, Nihar could barely contain his joy. “All these years we only had a bookish knowledge about a baby being born. The true meaning of a Miracle was understood when I witnessed the baby being delivered. Mother and son are doing well and we are living a dream. God and the baby are kind he chose us as parents for him.”
When Nihar had decided to tie the knot with Neeti in February 2019 he said to me, “Yes, after some relationships that simply didn’t work out, I am finally getting married, to Neeti Mohan. As you know I’ve been in some aborted relationships. In fact it had come to a point where I wouldn’t share my relationship status with my family because I was scared it wouldn’t work out. Every time my mother would run to the temple with a pooja ki thali to ring the auspicious bells for her son’s wedding. Then nothing happened.”
So Nihar chose not to reveal his feelings for Neeti Mohan to his family. “Not until we were sure of our marriage. There had been so many dead ends earlier I felt my family stop believing I was actually in love.”
Just how Nihar met and fell in love with Neeti is a chapter straight of a Yash Raj Film. “Yes, fully filmy it was. I met Neeti at a common friend (musician) Jimmy Felix’s wedding. Jimmy and Neeti used to be part of the music band Aasma and he kept talking about this girl he wants me to meet. But he wouldn’t actually get down to introducing me to Neeti. I finally asked Jimmy, ‘Yaar tu mileyega ya sirf baatein banayega?’ He promised to introduce us at his wedding. And he kept his promise.”
It was love at first sight for Nihar. “It took me no time at all to decide Neeti was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Luckily she felt the same way. We decided to get married soon after we met. And now, as the day approaches I am more and more convinced this is the best thing to have happened to me.”
