worked as an event manager. Their relationship evolved over several years, leading to a unique public proposal and a steady marriage despite external controversies. : Mustafa Raj

The couple married on August 23, 2017 , in a private ceremony in Bengaluru. Their union was an interfaith marriage—Priyamani is Hindu and Mustafa is Muslim—which led to some social media trolling that Priyamani has publicly and firmly addressed.

Interestingly, in Jawan , Priyamani’s romantic storyline with Vikram is told entirely through flashback and sacrifice . She doesn’t sing duets; she holds a dying husband. Later, as the character of Azad (Shah Rukh Khan) cares for her, the romantic narrative shifts to a filial love, but the shadow of her lost romance looms over the entire first half.
