However, the former couple parted ways in February 2003, post which he went ahead to tie the knot with Fardeen Khan's sister, Laila Khan. "I got divorced on February 14, 2003, and got engaged on February 14, 2019. I have had relationships in between and my kids have liked every person that I have been with. But it is very different with Maneck - they adore him and want him in our lives forever. Our families have merged beautifully. He has a wonderful open-hearted, jovial, Parsi family, who welcomed me," she said in her same conversation. 10 Pics Of Alaia Furniturewalla Ahead Of Her Debut Opposite Saif Ali Khan That Prove She'll Burn The Silver Screen.
