In a recent appearance for an interview with Siddharth Kannan for the latter's YouTube channel, Vindu Dara Singh got candid about the trajectory of his life. Part of this saw him revisit the last stretch of his relationship with first wife Farah Naaz. The actor began by identifying the point when things started getting awry - Farah's return from her Hajj to Mecca.


Vindu shared how Farah used to initially be indifferent with regards to her religion. Speaking about her smoking habit, Vindu said while he never really thought much of it, he found himself urging her to quit. To this, Farah reportedly told him, 'You send me for Hajj, then I will quit smoking.' Vindu obliged. However, as Farah returned to him after her pilgrimage, Vindu recalls her being very different. This is the point where their relationship began to unravel.

How did Vindu Dara Singh and Farah Naaz meet?

It was shortly after that Vindu met Dina Umarova, a model and entrepreneur. The two got married in 2005. They are parents to daughter Amelia Randhawa.  Farah on the other hand, moved on with television actor Sumeet Saigal whom she met in 2003. They tied the knot the same year and are still together, in tow with Fateh.
