A powerhouse of talent, renowned Bollywood vocalist Monali Thakur, bagged the National Award for Best Playback singer for the soulful track’ Moh Moh Ke Dhaage’ from ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ in 2015 and has garnered a huge fan following since then. Little did were we aware that pretty-looking singer is actually married for three years.

When contacted, Monali Thakur told Zee News, an entertainment portal “I haven’t made it official anywhere on social media yet, but people had already guessed it. A couple of times when my ring was mistakenly visible in my Instagram photos, a lot of people commented asking if it was my wedding ring. That said, Maik and I have successfully been able to hide our marriage for three years!”
She has successfully managed to keep her marriage under wraps. Monali shared how she met her husband Maik Richter. “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,” says Monali. She also adds that she and Maik share a common love. “He loves food and, I being a Bong, I love food, too.”
