That’s Maik my dear friends! @maaaik_richter #monalithakur #monali #love #hearts #inlove #happiness #happiestplaceonearth”.
In an interview with The Times of India, Monali dropped a bomb and revealed that she has been married to her boyfriend, Maik Richter since 2017 and nobody knows about it. She said, “The news of my marriage will come as a shock to many as none of my industry friends were aware or invited. We kept delaying the ceremony and announcement and three years just passed by.”
Monali admitted that she knows her friends and colleagues will be upset knowing the truth of her hiding the news of her marriage from them. She added, “Mujhe pata hai bahot gaali padne wali hai logon se (I know people will be very angry with me), but I think when we have our wedding ceremony and invite people for the celebrations, they won’t be upset anymore.” The couple has not finalised any wedding date as of now and will start with the preparations once the things get back to normal.
Monali also spills the beans about her romantic proposal and shared “I met Maik during my trip to Switzerland and we clicked instantly. Not just him, I made a connection with his family, too. Maik proposed to me at the exact spot where we had met for the first time, under a tree, on a freezing Christmas Eve 2016. My reply was an instant yes.”

When Maik was asked about what made him fall for her, he had said, "I love the way she prepares dal. I can eat it anytime." Monali had then intruded, "He is more Indian than I am when it comes to food. Once, we went to eat pani puri in Juhu and the guy at the counter was dishing out really bland pani puris. Maik was like, ‘Give me more spice’, and the chaatwalla told me, ‘Madam, inka pet kharab ho jayega.’ I just burst out laughing!” (Don't Miss: Chiranjeevi Sarja's Cousin, Suraj Shared A 'Miss You' Note With His Brother's Last Post Before Death)
