Love has no boundaries, it can happen to anyone, and at any time. Pooja Bedi who is currently engaged to businessman Maneck Contractor occupied space in the top trends after her interview in which she spoke about her second marriage. The actress while speaking to TOI said that her children daughter Alaya Furniturewalla and son Omar are the ones who have been encouraging her to 'settle down' in life. For the unversed, Pooja was previously married to Farhan Furniturewala from 1994 - 2003. Ever since their divorce, she has been a single mother to both of them. Pooja says that her past relationships did not make her cynical about marriage.
Pooja told the portal, "Experiences in life are supposed to make you better, not bitter. If one marriage doesn’t work out, it’s not necessary that the second one won’t. My dad (Kabir Bedi) has been married four times. He has married some wonderful women, we have had wonderful step-moms and his relationships and marriages have taken him from strength to strength."
