Singer Himesh Reshammiya will tie the knot with TV star Sonia Kapoor on Friday, The Indian Express reported. According to the report, Himesh Reshammiya's son Swaym will attend the ceremony which will be restricted to close friends and family. Sonia Kapoor, Himesh Reshammiya's longtime girlfriend, has acted in shows like Remix, Kaise Ye Pyaar Hai and Yes Boss.
Himesh Reshammiya and his former wife Komal had earlier ended their marriage of 22 years. "Sometimes in life mutual respect becomes most important and giving due respect to our relationship, me and Komal have amicably decided to part ways legally as husband and wife," Himesh Reshammiya, 43, said in a statement.
"There is no problem whatsoever with this decision amongst us. And every member of the family have respected our decision. Komal is and will always remain a part of our family and I will always be a part of her family," he added.
Ever since Himesh Reshammiya and Komal had filed for divorce, it was speculated that the break-up was caused by his proximity to Sonia Kapoor.
Komal, however, said, due to compatibility issues they have parted ways and not due to Sonia Kapoor and Himesh Reshammiya.
"There are compatibility issues in our marriage but we respect each other immensely. Nobody else should be dragged into this matter and nobody else is responsible for this and the reason for our marriage not working is only and only compatibility. Sonia Kapoor is not responsible for this at all and our son Swaym and our family loves Sonia Kapoor just like a family member."
Sonia Kapoor, on her part, said in a statement, "Himesh Reshammiya's family is my family and I love them."
