They
married
secretly
a
year
ago.
Now
exactly
a
year
later,
filmmaker
Faruk
Kabir
and
his
actress-wife
Rukhsar
are
under
fire
for
having
kept
family
and
friends
in
the
dark
about
their
marriage.
Buckling
under
the
pressure
of
outrage,
the
two
have
decided
to
host
a
belated
wedding
reception
for
all
their
friends
and
family.
VOTE
FOR
YOUR
FAVOURITE
OSCAR
NOMINEES
Says
Faruk,
"Only
my
sister
and
mother
and
her
two
close
friends
were
present
at
the
Nikaah.
Rukhsar
lost
her
beloved
grandmother
and
then
her
mother
before
the
marriage.
And
her
father
can't
travel.
So
she
had
no
real
family
at
the
wedding.
I
think
we
owe
it
to
our
close
relatives
friends
and
colleagues
in
the
film
industry
to
have
them
share
in
our
moment
of
joy."
Faruk
Kabir
says
he
decided
to
reveal
his
secret
marriage
with
actress
Rukhsar
on
an
impulse.
Says
the
director
of
Allah
Ke
Banday,
"We
got
married
on
23
March
2010
at
a
wedding
that
was
only
attended
by
my
parents
and
sister.
We
didn't
even
invite
any
of
our
closest
friends.
She
had
some
issues
to
resolve
and
we
thought
it
would
be
best
to
wait.
I
was
also
embroiled
in
delays
and
financial
crises
while
shooting
Allah
Ke
Banday.
She
has
been
a
part
of
my
life
for
six
years
now.
So
everyone
in
the
family
knew
about
her
existence
in
my
life.
We
decided
to
make
it
public
on
an
impulse.
I
just
spoke
about
it
on
Facebook
and
it
caught
on."
Faruk's
greatest
joy
and
relief
is
the
fact
that
his
mother
and
wife
get
along
like
a
house
on
fire.
"Fortunately
no
fire
in
the
house
at
all.
They
are
more
like
mother
and
daughter
than
daughter-in-law.
I've
suddenly
become
the
outsider
in
our
home.
They
spend
all
their
time
making
plans
from
which
I
am
excluded.
They
go
shopping
together
and
they
don't
even
tell
me," grumbles
Faruk
good
naturedly.
Faruk's
sister
Sonobar
Kabir
who
is
a
singer-actress
is
also
deeply
bonded
to
Rukhsar.
