Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah Ties the Knot with Journalist Nidhi Razdan

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has married senior journalist Nidhi Razdan in an intimate ceremony held in New Delhi. The 56-year-old political leader announced the development publicly on Saturday, sharing photographs of the nuptials on social media platform X with the caption, “A new journey began yesterday.” Ms. Razdan also confirmed the union on her social handle with the message, “It’s done bro.”

The formal announcement was met with an outpouring of warm wishes from political associates, colleagues, and netizens. National Conference spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar offered congratulations, wishing the couple a lifetime of joy, companionship, and success in their new phase of life.

According to family insiders, both families had previously convened for an intimate gathering in Srinagar earlier in October before finalizing the formal registration of the marriage in New Delhi on October 30. Over recent months, the pair had made public appearances together across various social and official engagements in Jammu and Kashmir.

This marks the second marriage for Mr. Abdullah, occurring three months after the Supreme Court of India formalized a mutual consent settlement on July 31, 2026, bringing closure to an extended divorce proceeding. Mr. Abdullah had previously wed Payal Nath in 1994, several years before launching his political career, with the two subsequently separating in 2011.
