The Bigg Boss 13 runner up was attacked by a few goons when he was out cycling in his hometown. The actor suffered cuts, wounds and multiple bruises all over. It seems the attack on him happened late at night. The attackers were on a bike and hit him from behind. The handsome actor made a video where he called them cowards who did not have the guts to attack from the front. Loyal fans of the stud are as enraged as they’re, taking to social media to wish him a speedy recovery.

Manish Naggdev who has been seen in serials like Udaan, Begusarai, Banoo Main Teri Dulhann and others, had a roka ceremony with actress-turned-air hostess Malika Juneja, at her Pune residence on July 25th. Talking about it, Manish told E Times, “I first met Malika in August last year, through some common friends. Gradually, my mother grew fond of her and one day, she told me that Malika would make a great life partner. With time, I, too, realised that she was extremely loving and caring. So, I told my mother to speak with her family. Fortunately, they were fond of me (laughs!). So, here we are. I would call it a love-cum-arranged marriage. We started dating in January. Engagement aur shaadi pandemic ke baad hoga.”
