Love knows no nationalities, and this applies to Bollywood actresses as well. Some actresses have found their soul mate from remote corners of the globe, away from the constant spotlight of the paparazzi. Just as news of superstar Priyanka Chopra’s engagement to singer Nick Jonas comes out, we look at Bollywood actresses who married foreigners
Lisa Ray wears many hats. She has been a television host, Bollywood actress and social activist with style. She has appeared in films like Water and Kasoor. She was also in the news for being a cancer survivor, and her story is an inspiration to millions. Her wedding to Jason Dehni, a management consultant, in California, was a happy ending to a hard fought story. The couple tied the knot in the scenic Napa Valley which is a dream destination when it comes to weddings.
Preity Zinta has won hearts in Bollywood with super hit movies like Soldier and Kal Ho Na Ho, and she left fans more than a little surprised when she tied the knot with American financial analyst Gene Good enough in 2016. The couple had a quiet marriage in Los Angeles, post which she has taken a break from the film industry.
Former Miss India Celina Jaitley has quite a few hits to her credit. She was part of successful ensemble comedies like Golmaal Returns and No Entry. In 2011, she had a low profile marriage to Peter Haag, a Dubai based hotelier and businessman. Today, the couple are proud parents to twins, and live in Dubai.
Shriya Saran is quite famous down south, but she has acted in several Bollywood films like Mission Istanbul, Awarapan, and Drishyam. She married Russian tennis player Andrei Koscheev earlier this year. Apart from being a sportsman, Andrei has a chain of restaurants that serve organic food and he has also won the Best Young Entrepreneur Award in 2015. The couple alternate between Russia and India to spend time with each other’s families.
