‘Not getting government involved’: Pooja Bedi not to marry Maneck despite 8-year engagement

Renowned actress Pooja Bedi has announced that she will not be marrying her longtime fiancé, Maneck Contractor, despite their eight-year engagement. The actor, who has previously been married and divorced, has chosen to remain unmarried and emphasize the importance of their companionship. When asked about her marital status, Pooja clarified that she is engaged but not planning to tie the knot.

She believes that an engagement signifies a promise to spend one's life together, without the need for a legal union. Pooja attributed her decision to the societal pressure and stigma surrounding unmarried couples with children. Despite their financial independence and previous marital experiences, Pooja and Maneck are content with their commitment to each other, emphasizing that their love is not contingent on legal or societal validation.
