Omar and Payal Nath got married in 1994, and they have two sons, Zahir and Zamir Abdullah.

The estranged couple fought a protracted battle for settlement of their separation in the court, which ended in July 2026.

Both Omar, 56 and Nidhi, 49, have tied the knot a second time. Nidhi was earlier married to a well-known Bollywood lyricist and journalist in Delhi.
