The widely circulated video showing actress Mahima Chaudhry in bridal attire, seemingly having a second wedding at age 52 with veteran actor Sanjay Mishra, is not a real-life event. The clip is a deliberate and successful part of a promotional campaign for their upcoming film, Durlabh Prasad Ki Doosri Shaadi (Durlabh Prasad’s Second Marriage).
The Viral Moment: Confusion and Buzz
The video, which rapidly went viral across social media platforms, shows Mahima Chaudhry, looking radiant in a traditional red saree, posing with actor Sanjay Mishra, who is dressed as a groom. The actors were spotted together in Mumbai, where they interacted playfully with the paparazzi.
- The Actor Spotted: The “THIS actor” seen with Mahima Chaudhry in the bridal attire is veteran Bollywood actor Sanjay Mishra.
- A Clever Stunt: The moment generated massive buzz and confusion among fans and media, with many believing the Pardes actress had secretly tied the knot again, a decade after her divorce.
- Playing Along: When photographers congratulated them, Mahima was heard saying with a smile, “Yeh log baarati hain… mithai kha kar jaana!” (These people are the wedding guests… have some sweets before you go!), which further fueled the wedding speculation.
The Truth: A Cinematic Marriage
The entire appearance was a publicity stunt designed to create hype for their upcoming Bollywood project.
- The Film: The actors are starring together in the film Durlabh Prasad Ki Doosri Shaadi. The movie, directed by Siddhant Raj, is described as a romantic-comedy-drama revolving around the humorous and emotional journey of a middle-aged man, ‘Durlabh Prasad’ (played by Sanjay Mishra), who decides to remarry after his first wife’s death. Mahima Chaudhry plays the character of his second wife.
- Promotional Strategy: The decision to appear in full bridal and groom attire for a public outing was a brilliant marketing move that instantly captured the internet’s attention, making the film a trending topic.
Mahima Chaudhry’s Real-Life Status
In real life, Mahima Chaudhry is not currently remarried.
- Past Marriage: She was married to architect and businessman Bobby Mukherji from 2006 to 2013, and they have a daughter named Aryana.
- Focus on Family and Career: Since her separation, the actress has primarily focused on raising her daughter and making a comeback to cinema. She was recently seen in a key role in the film Emergency (2024).
The viral video, while not reflecting a personal milestone, has successfully generated immense curiosity for Mahima Chaudhry and Sanjay Mishra’s on-screen union in Durlabh Prasad Ki Doosri Shaadi.
