Appearing momentarily surprised, Sangeeta admitted,“Wo jhooth to nahi hai (that's not a lie).” Her response left judges Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Dadlani equally intrigued. Vishal urged her to share more details, but Sangeeta refrained from elaborating.

According to Bollywood Shaadis, the wedding was called off after Sangeeta discovered Salman's alleged affair with Somy Ali, a Pakistani-American actress. Sangeeta caught Salman with Somy Ali, who was 16 years old at that time, in her room a month before their wedding, the publication added. Somy later revealed she had apologised to Sangeeta.
