Shalin Bhanot’s ex-wife Dalljiet Kaur is all set to marry UK-based Nikhil Patel

Actress Dalljiet Kaur is all set to tie the knot with UK-based Nikhil Patel, who works with a finance company. The couple has decided to get married in March this year. According to the reports, the actress will move with her nine-year-old son, Jaydon, to London post-marriage.

Dalljiet talked about it in an interview and shared, “The wedding is in March, and I am still figuring out a lot of things. I will move to Nairobi (Africa) for a couple of years, as Nikhil is placed there for work right now. We will eventually move back to London, where he was born and raised.”

Dalljiet added, “I met Nick at a friend’s party in Dubai last year. I only spoke about my son, and he was talking about his two daughters, 13-year-old Aariyana and eight-year-old Aanika. He wore blue nail polish on his toes, and when I asked him about it, he replied, ‘I am a proud dad of two girls.’ Romance wasn’t in the air back then; it was just two single parents chatting. Love happened with time. It was our love for our children that connected us. While Anika lives with her mother in the US, Aariyana will live with us.”

After being in a relationship for about a year, the two got engaged in Nepal on January 3. For the unversed, Dalljiet was earlier married to actor Shalin Bhanot. They got married in 2009 and later decided to part ways in 2013.

When asked how she plans to facilitate their meetings, she said, “Jaydon needs to have the most normal life and he can only have that if he has his people, including Shalin, around him. Shalin is more than welcome to meet Jaydon and I will bring him to India to meet him. He should know that his father loves him. Hamein iss bachhe ka sochna chahiye jiska koi lena dena nahi hai jo bhi jhagde hue ya nahi hue. Both of us need to step up as his parents and this is our chance. If Shalin gets married, I will be the one to introduce that girl to Jaydon.”

She added, “My biggest fear was that I shouldn’t make a wrong decision. However, as I was picking up the broken pieces of my life, along with realizing how much Jaydon missed having a dad, it was also about me missing a companion, which I didn’t feel earlier. I am in love with Nikhil and can feel butterflies in my stomach every time he calls me. I never thought this would happen. I always thought that I would marry first and then fall in love.”

Now that she will be moving abroad, how will she pursue acting? “I have signed a couple of projects and am ready to come back to Mumbai. Nick says that he will take care of the kids when I am traveling, as I will do the same when he is traveling for work. Bahut fears hain, but because Nick is holding my hand through this, I think everything will be great,” she concludes with a smile.
