Omar Abdullah, Journalist Nidhi Razdan Share Ceremony Photos, Announce ‘New Journey’ on Social Media

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and journalist Nidhi Razdan have shared photographs from a ceremony on social media, making their relationship public on Saturday.

In a post on X, Omar Abdullah wrote, “A new journey began yesterday”, while Razdan shared her own post, writing, “It’s done bro”.

The development comes around three months after the Supreme Court agreed to dissolve Omar Abdullah's marriage to his estranged wife, Payal Abdullah, following a mutual settlement between the couple.

Supreme Court Agreed to Divorce by Mutual Consent

On July 31, 2026, the Supreme Court said it would dissolve the marriage of Omar and Payal Abdullah after both parties informed the court that they had mutually agreed to end their relationship and settle all pending disputes.

They also agreed to withdraw the cases filed against each other.

The matter had reached the Supreme Court after Omar Abdullah challenged a Delhi High Court decision refusing to grant him a divorce.

During the proceedings, the couple jointly filed an application seeking dissolution of their marriage by mutual consent under Article 142 of the Constitution.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the couple, informed the court that they had agreed to settle their differences.

Omar and Payal Abdullah Had Been Living Separately Since 2009

Omar Abdullah and Payal Abdullah married in 1994 after meeting while working at The Oberoi hotel in Delhi. They have two sons, Zahir and Zamir.

The couple had been living separately since 2009, with Omar announcing their separation in 2011.

The Supreme Court had earlier taken note of the fact that they had been living apart for several years.

The latest social media posts by Omar Abdullah and Nidhi Razdan mark a new public chapter in their relationship, following the Supreme Court proceedings concerning his marriage to Payal Abdullah.
