Sharing the pictures, Raghu Ram wrote, “The first pic is the very first time I met Natalie Di Luccio. I was editing Roadies 8 and she was just visiting India. No sparks, friendly vibe. Never in a million years could I have imagined that we’d be taking the other pics just 8 years later, at our wedding! Life writes stories fiction never could.”
For the South Indian ceremony, Raghu wore a white kurta, red dhoti and an angavasthram, while Natalie dazzled in a traditional white silk sari with a red border. On the other hand, the Christian wedding saw Natalie in a stunning white bridal gown as Raghu complemented her in a powder blue suit.
Raghu Ram’s First Encounter With Wife Natalie Di Luccio
Notably, this is Raghu’s second marriage. Previously, he was married to actor Sugandha Garg, known for her role in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na fame. Earlier, during an appearance on the Couple of Things talk show, Raghu admitted that he was still married when he first encountered his now-wife, Natalie Di Luccio.
According to him, he had discovered a video of Natalie singing a song from his ex-wife’s film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. He said, “She was dating someone; I was married. No tension. She was like any other friend.” It was after the separation that Raghu reached out to Natalie to invite her to a party, who was going through a similar phase.
‘I Wanted To Destroy Myself’: Raghu Ram
Further thanking Natalie for rescuing him when he was in a dark phase, Raghu added, “I failed in my first marriage. This might sound dramatic to you, but if I hadn’t met Natalie at that time, I wouldn’t be here. I wanted to destroy myself.”
