Actress Lara Datta recently took to social media to wish her husband, former tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi, on his birthday this Sunday. The 'Partner' actress shared a vibrant collage of some unseen pictures with her husband on the Stories section of her Instagram handle, accompanied by the following words: "Happy 'you can eat all the cake you like' day husband!!!" along with love-struck emojis.
Their Love Story
Lara and Mahesh first met during a business meeting. However, if reports are to be believed, the meeting was merely an excuse for Bhupathi to meet Lara. At the time, Bhupathi was already married to model Shvetha Jaishankar. Nevertheless, the couple ended up getting amicably divorced in 2009.
After dating for some time, Lara and Mahesh finally got married in a simple ceremony on February 16, 2011, in Mumbai. This was followed by a Church wedding on February 20, 2011. Entering the next chapter, the couple embraced parenthood on January 20, 2012, as they welcomed their firstborn, daughter Saira.
Celebrating 15 Years of Marriage
In February this year, Lara celebrated 15 years of marital bliss with Bhupathi. She revealed that their relationship is just like that of fire and air. While she keeps starting flames, her husband loves fanning them out. "15 years of Fire (ME) + Air (HIM) = me starting the flames, him fanning them ferociously ... and somehow we haven't burned the house down........ yet!!! We've mastered the art of: Annoying each other professionally, Fighting like it's a sport, Pretending we're not competitive, And still choosing each other every day. @mbhupathi," read the post.
Upcoming Project
On the professional front, Lara will next be seen in 'Welcome To The Jungle', directed by Ahmed Khan. The sequel to the 'Welcome' franchise enjoys an ensemble cast including Suniel Shetty, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharib Hashmi, Inaamulhaq, Zakir Hussain, Yashpal Sharma, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Vrihi Kodvara, among others.
