Pooja Bedi, single mother to daughter Alaya F and son Omar with former husband Farhan Furniturewala, has found love again in Maneck Contractor. The couple got engaged on Valentine’s Day last year and they plan to tie the knot soon. Now in an interaction with a portal, Pooja revealed how her children have been extremely supportive of all her relationships and even persuaded her to get married again.
“My children have really liked the men in my life and they have liked each one of them. For whatever reason, it hasn’t worked out, but I enjoyed the journey with them,” she told the portal, adding, “Just before Maneck came into my life, Alaya and Omar were chatting about something and they said, ‘Mama, you should really get your life together.’ I said, ‘What?’ They said, ‘Yeah, look at papa. He has met Laila aunty and settled down with her. They have had a child together. He has got his life sorted. You should also get someone and just get married and settle down."
For the unversed, Farhan is happily married to Laila Khan Furniturewala and has a son named Zaan with her.
