I wanted to marry Sourav Ganguly: Nagma

In the 2000s, the love story of Nagma and Sourav Ganguly was the talk of the town and there was a rumour that Ganguly’s rough phase on the field was due to the relationship. Ganguly was married at that time.

Recently, Nagma has confessed that she did want to marry Ganguly, whom she loved, but then the fear that his wife might take legal action scared her. Ganguly’s wife even threatened her with legal action. Ganguly too was in love with Nagma. His wife was angry about this affair. Media reports even claimed that she beat the actress up once.

Earlier in an interview, Nagma had to leave keeping Sourav Ganguly’s career in mind.

“There was a career at stake, besides other things, so one had to part. One had to weigh a lot of things, rather than be on an ego trip and insist on being together. A smaller interest had to be sacrificed for bigger interests… When a game is being played, people should understand it is a sport. It’s very weird that people started getting carried away,” Nagma added.

During the interview, she also stated that they didn’t end the relationship with bitterness and in fact still have mutual respect for one another.

Nagma, who is in her 40s is yet to get married.
