Srinagar/Hyderabad, Nov 1 (Maxim News): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has announced a new chapter in his personal life. He shared pictures with journalist Nidhi Razdan on social media.
Omar posted the photographs on X on Saturday with the caption, “A new journey began yesterday.”
Nidhi Razdan responded to his post, saying, “It’s done bro @OmarAbdullah.”
The photographs showed Nidhi wearing a bridal lehenga and Omar dressed in a formal suit. The announcement has drawn attention to their relationship.
Supreme Court Dissolved Omar Abdullah’s Marriage in July
The Supreme Court dissolved the marriage between Omar Abdullah and his estranged wife, Payal Abdullah, by mutual consent on July 31, 2026.
A bench comprising Justices P.S. Narasimha and Alok Aradhe heard the matter. It exercised its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to dissolve the marriage.
The couple married on September 1, 1994, and had been living separately since 2009. They have two sons, Zahir and Zamir.
Omar’s earlier divorce pleas, citing cruelty and desertion, were dismissed by a family court in 2016. The Delhi High Court upheld that decision in December 2023.
However, both parties later reached an amicable settlement through court-directed mediation. Senior counsel Kapil Sibal informed the Supreme Court that they had resolved pending disputes.
They also agreed to withdraw related litigation.
Nidhi Razdan, 49, is a journalist and former executive editor of NDTV. She is the daughter of senior journalist Maharaj Krishan Razdan.
Originally from Budgam district in central Kashmir, she studied at Apeejay School in New Delhi. She graduated from Lady Shri Ram College.
She later completed a postgraduate diploma in Radio and TV Journalism at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Delhi, during 1998–99.
