Television actress, Sara Khan's ex-husband, and actor, Ali Mercchant is enjoying the most beautiful phase of his life. The Bigg Boss 4 fame is over the moon as he tied the knot with his girlfriend, Andleeb Zaidi on November 2, 2023. For the unversed, Ali was earlier married to Sara Khan inside the Bigg Boss house in 2010. However, the duo parted ways in 2011.

Elaborating more on it, Ali said:
"Andleeb has put a lot of change in me. She is very kind, generous, and a very strong woman. She always guides me in the right manner. With her, I understand what boundaries and priorities are, and what kind of efforts a person needs. Bahut saari aisi cheezein jo meri dictionary mai nahi thi. Meri debut film bhi arahi hai, so everything is happening very nicely and smoothly at the right time."
Ali also talked about how he reacts to people's perception of his third marriage. Elaborating more about it, the actor mentioned that he always wanted a happy married life, and at the end of the day, his happiness matters the most to him. Mentioning how people often point out at him for getting married for the third time, Ali stated that he can either be happy or commit suicide, so he chose the first option. In his words:
"I feel that at the end mujhe apni khushi ke baare mai sochna hai. I have the right to be happy in life. Whenever people say ki 'arey yaar third marriage', I am like, 'Yaar, do you want me to commit suicide or do you want me to be happy?' It can only be either of those two. I decide to take a happy route, it is always a good call and you should think about yourself. I wanted to have a happy married life. I am going to manage all the negative public attention quite smoothly. Pyaar kia toh darna kya. It is the most beautiful thing to be in love."
