    Armeena Khan reveals she tied the knot in a secret ceremony

    Surprise surprise. Armeena Khan is married. The actor tied the knot with long-term beau Fesl Khan in a private, intimate Nikkah ceremony and fans had no clue about it. Until recently.

    On Valentines Day, Armeena shared a picture of her and Fesl calling him her “valentines, forever and forever.”

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hItmWjuXK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Soon after people started speculating that the two had made things official. Fesl then confirmed the news by sharing a loved up photo of the two and announcing that Armeena was now his wife.

    “Armeena, I’ll give you my friends and take from you your enemies. Time to create magic, time to create a legacy. We were born to be one. Welcome to our journey, with special love to those closest to us. Wishing everyone happiness on this Valentine’s 2020,” he wrote with the picture.

    The Janaan later shared a screenshot of Fesl’s post and wrote, “Presenting my husband Fesl Khan that’s it, guys, we are official. We will have a wedding party at a later stage. Thank you to everyone for understanding and supporting us. Love you all.”

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jazGDna_z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    The couple also revealed that the two have been married for a while now, but a formal reception is yet to take place. In August last year, Armeena had shared a picture of herself in a wedding gown revealing that she was getting married. We wonder if that’s when the two tied the knot.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B06SKcCDSaH/

    Armeena and Fesl announced their engagement in July 2017. Armeena had shared then that the two were related and “have been together for a while, on and off.”
