The singer, who is currently in Switzerland, living with Maik and his family, says the reason why the couple didn’t make it public was that they didn’t have a conventional wedding and had been looking for an appropriate occasion to get married publicly. “The news of my marriage will come as a shock to many as none of my industry friends were aware or invited. We kept delaying the ceremony and announcement and three years just passed by,” says Monali, adding, “, but I think when we have our wedding ceremony and invite people for the celebrations, they won't be upset anymore." Although the couple doesn't have a date in mind for the public ceremony yet, Monali says they will definitely think about it once things are better.

My reply was an instant yes,” says Monali. She also adds that she and Maik share a common love. "He loves food and, I being a Bong, I love food, too," she laughs.
