The marriage was solemnised at a ceremony in New Delhi on Friday, with family members from both sides as witnesses.
It is the second marriage for both. Omar is 56 and Razdan is 49.

Omar announced their separation in 2011. A divorce case remained pending before the court for several years until the Supreme Court dissolved the marriage this year
