It was on February 16, 1968, that Mala and Chidambar got married, and she then continued to pursue her film career in Bollywood. Chidambar had then returned to Nepal to take care of his estate agency business. Although both of them were in a long-distance marriage and in different countries, their marriage worked beautifully, and they were also blessed with a daughter, Pratibha Sinha. She also tried her hand at the Hindi cinema back in the 1990s. Mala's blockbuster movie was Pyaasa whose success made her famous pan Asia. As destined, a movie director from Nepal called her for Maltighar. It was life-changing for her as she met Chidambar, who was a customs officer and was handsome. Mala fell for his looks as she was shooting for the movie, and as fate had it, she managed to make a place in Lohani's heart.

Mala had penned a letter to Lohani after she came back to India post the shoot of Maltighar. She expressed her feelings, and the letter reached him a month later. Lohani reciprocated to the letter by flying to India where both of them got to know one another. After that, they decided to get married and Mala in an interview with Filmfare shared:

"My parents wanted me to get married as I had turned 26. Baba (father Albert Sinha) believed the industry boys were not trustworthy. Also, ego problems could creep in. Baba wanted a pahadi, a Nepali like us. Baba liked CP.”
