Samir Soni divulges how a tarot card reader foretold his union with Neelam Kothari!

For over ten years, Samir Soni, a well-known actor from television and movies, has been wed to Neelam Kothari, the style icon of the 1980s and 90s. Ahana, the couple's daughter, was born in 2011 after they were married.

 

Samir recently opened out about meeting his wife, Neelam, and his romantic past.

In a media briefing, Samir Soni revealed that following his initial encounter with Neelam Kothari, he encountered a tarot card reader whose forecast had a link to the actress.

 

Remembering that the tarot card reader had told him he would meet someone whose name starts with the letter 'N' and that she would be employed in the jewellery business, Samir thought back. Though he thought it was an odd coincidence, the Made in Heaven 2 star joked that Neelam might have paid him for the prophecies.

 

"I met someone who was a tarot card reader. I don't know if she paid him. That person told me that there will be a woman in my life whose name starts with an N and she would be working in jewellery," he was quoted as telling.

 

Samir Soni also reminisced about his first encounter with his wife, the actress Neelam Kothari, during the same interview. At a party, Samir and Neelam crossed paths. She was with producer Ekta Kapoor, while he was escorted by actress Mandira Bedi.

Neelam thought Samir was "cute," but she told Ekta instead of telling him. The Baghban actor was overjoyed to receive the compliment after hearing about it from another person.

 

Samir didn't approach her, but he did say he felt fantastic.

The actor recalled seeing photos of Neelam in the publications. Only after exchanging phone numbers at a Diwali celebration, when Ekta Kapoor reintroduced them, did it happen.
