Actor Shan Baig announced on Wednesday he had tied the knot with model-turned-actor Roma Michael.

Baig posted a picture of himself with Michael on Instagram with a sticker saying “Wifey”, which the model also re-shared to her account.

The picture led to a number of congratulatory messages for the couple from fans and industry colleagues, which Michael shared on her story. Different accounts sent them well wishes and prayed for their happiness.

Baig posted a second message on his Instagram account later, asking people to respect his privacy and wishes in light of his divorce and decision to remarry.

In a statement addressed to “family, friends, colleagues and everyone who has supported me”, the actor shared that his divorce had been finalised some time ago and both he and his ex-wife had moved on with their lives.

Baig said he had “begun a new chapter filled with hope, happiness and gratitude” and that he was “thankful for the support and well wishes I have received from those who have stood by me throughout the journey”.

He asked people to leave the past behind, not engage in “rumours, assumptions or comparisons” and respect the privacy of everyone involved.

The actor said his focus now was on “my family, my responsibilities as a father, my marriage and the future that lies ahead”.
