Pakistani actor and former VJ Madiha Imam recently opened up about how traveling played a key role in deciding to marry her now-husband, Indian entrepreneur Moji Basar. During an appearance on Hina Altaf’s podcast, Madiha revealed that exploring Dubai together allowed her to evaluate their compatibility before tying the knot.
“I actually met my husband – who is my husband now – in Dubai,” Madiha shared. She explained that she had planned to stay with her sister in the UAE and insisted to her mother that she wanted to meet Moji there. “I told my mother I wanted to see the guy I want to marry, and if I want to marry him, I have to date him.” Her mother, however, was initially puzzled and asked, “What do you mean, date? First, explain that to me!”
Madiha emphasized the importance of traveling together, saying, “When you travel with somebody, you find out a lot about a person – their mannerisms, how they talk to other people.” Secretly, she was taking notes throughout the trip. “I was making my notes and all that, although he didn’t know that,” she laughed.
Their travel experience proved meaningful, and the couple eventually married in May 2023.
