In a recent interview, actress Priyamani said she and husband Mustafa Raj are in a “very secure” relationship. The comment comes after Mustafa's ex-wife Ayesha alleged that she is still married to him and his marriage with Priyamani is “invalid”.
In an interview, 'The Family Man' actress said, “Communication is the key. If you’re asking about the relationship between me and Mustafa, by far, we are definitely very secure in our relationship, even though right now, he is in the US. He’s working there. We make it a point that we talk to each other every day. If he’s busy with work, he’ll probably call me or text me once he’s free. Or vice versa, if I’m busy with shooting, I would do that.”
She said they don't let the different time zones affect them. “We definitely make it a point to communicate with each other. If not anything, just a small thing like ‘Are you OK?’ That really goes far; if he’s tired or if I am, if somebody is there to ask him, it speaks volumes about the person and what they feel about you. We are very secure, we make it a point to talk to each other, and that is the key to every relationship.”
Mustafa and his ex-wife separated in 2013. They have two children. He later married Priyamani in 2017. Responding to Ayesha's recent allegations, he said, “The charges against me are false. I am paying for the children’s maintenance to Ayesha regularly. She is trying to extort money from me.”
