Suraj Nambiar’s Initial Hesitation on Dating Mouni Roy
Despite their high-profile romance, the beginning of Mouni Roy and Suraj Nambiar's relationship was marked by uncertainty on Nambiar's part. The Dubai-based businessman reportedly had reservations about dating the actress when they first met.
In an earlier conversation with ETimes, Nambiar revealed that the couple first crossed paths during a New Year’s Eve celebration in Dubai in 2019. While the attraction was present, Nambiar was reportedly cautious about the complexities of dating a high-profile figure in the entertainment industry. His concerns stemmed from the lifestyle differences and the intense media attention that often follows Bollywood celebrities, making him "unsure" about committing to a relationship at the time.
Suraj Nambiars Aversion to the Idea of Marriage
While the couple eventually married in early 2022, Nambiar has been candid about his long-standing aversion to the institution of marriage. He admitted that his perspective only shifted due to Roy’s firm stance on their future together.
"For a long time, I was against the idea of getting married," Nambiar stated. He revealed that after two years of dating, Roy made it clear that she was looking for a permanent commitment. "After a couple of years of dating, she clearly said it was either this way (getting married) or the highway," he recalled.
Nambiar admitted to "buying time" before Roy eventually issued an ultimatum. The businessman noted that the prospect of life without her was the deciding factor. "I just kept buying time. Then one day, she gave me an ultimatum, and I realised that if I didn’t marry her, I would lose her. That’s when I realised we should get married, as I knew that my life would be better with her," he explained.
