Kim Sharma's divorce from husband Ali Punjani left her in a financial crises, she called herself 'penniless'
Kim Sharma known for being the 'Mohabbatein' girl has also often been in the news for her rumoured relationships. In a recent interview, Kim has opened up on her idea of marriage and how it's just a societal thing today. Amidst that, here's recalling the time when the actress had a secret wedding with a Kenya-based businessman Ali Punjani. It was being reported that he dumped Kim as he fell for another girl.
Kim met Ali when she was on a safari trip and within a week of knowing each other, they were married. At that point, Ali was in the midst of divorce from his first wife. Kim and Ali got married in 2010 and Kim had opened up on it during an interview and said, "Marriage for me as well as my husband is a very private affair. After dating each other for a few months, Ali and I wanted to spend our lives together. It was all so sudden, the next thing I knew I was married to the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It was almost straight out of a fairy tale.”
Kim got divorced in 2017, and after that, she was left without any financial support. Describing her financial state, she had once tweeted, “When you spend the weekend raging at #Coldplay and come back to find out you’re penniless.”
She returned from Kenya and then she was rumoured to be in a relationship with Harshvardhan Rane. After their break-up, she was dating Leander Paes. Now reports suggest that Kim and Leander have also broken up.
