It seems like the once-upon-a-time 'King of Good Times' has found his 'Queen'—again, that is. United Breweries group chairman Vijay Mallya, who is absconding from India and is in London after being charged for fraud and money laundering, will, reportedly, marry his girlfriend Pinky Lalwani.

The 62-year-old liquor baron was previously married to Sameera Tyabjee from 1986-87. In 1993, he tied the knot with Rekha Mallya, with whom he isn't legally divorced. He has three children from his two marriages—Siddharth, Leanna and Tanya.
In 2016-17, Mallya, former owner of Kingfisher Airlines, was charged with fraud of Rs 9,000 crore. He managed to give the slip to Indian authorities and escaped to London. Lalwani, reportedly, has been with him through the 'ordeal'. She was also present at his extradition case at Westminster Magistrates Court in London.
Mallya, 62, met Lalwani in 2011 when he offered her a job with Kingfisher Airlines. The two have been reportedly dating since, and Lalwani had been spotted with Mallya's mother several times. The two were recently spotted together celebrating their 'anniversary' earlier this month.
Though both Lalwani and Mallya are yet to confirm the news of their impending marriage, sources close to them say it is likely to happen soon.
