Sawant also shared the exclusive details including her marriage certificate with an Indian media outlet, after her husband denied their marriage during a media conversation.

“I was almost in depression because of the betrayal of my loved ones. However, much to my surprise, that’s when Adil came into my life and made promises to love me forever. He also offered to marry me and we immediately got hitched,” the celeb detailed.
“I didn’t want to wait, as I have a strong desire to become a mother. Unfortunately, his family has still not accepted me.”
Sawant also spoke about keeping their marriage secret until now, “A lot happened while I was away locked up inside the Big Boss Marathi 4 house recently. I will elaborate on my experiences when the time is right.”
“At this point, all I want is to save my relationship and I want the world to know that I am married to Adil. These days, I’m quite frustrated due to a couple of things, so it was necessary to make my marriage public,” she concluded.
