Actor Mahima Singh Puri calls off marriage after would-be groom refuses Goa wedding

MUMBAI: A Bollywood and Bhojpuri film actor, Mahima Singh Puri, who was slated to get married in May 2024, to a media professional, has reportedly cancelled her nuptials after her would-be husband (and in-laws) refused to have the wedding reception in Goa.

Mahima was quoted by a YouTube channel saying, “I was very keen on a destination wedding in Calangute. I have been visiting the Calangute-Candolim beaches since I was a kid and always dreamt of getting married on the Calangute beach. My favourite restaurant is Souza Lobo at Calangute, which I visit everytime I am in Goa. Accordingly, I suggested to my would-be in-laws and future husband that we book a resort in Calangute for the wedding reception and get the Souza Lobo team to handle the food and catering part. But my in-laws flatly refused, turned down my Calangute dream wedding plans and instead chose a “ghost house” in Jodhpur for the wedding party. As I couldn’t stand their attitude, I called off the wedding,” she told her interviewer.
