The actor, who is quite active on social media, recently tied the knot with a young woman he met online. Their friendship blossomed into love, eventually leading to a physical relationship. The woman is currently two months pregnant.

The couple got married on June 15 in a temple, with viral photos surfacing as proof of their union. Post-marriage, Sunny promised to introduce her to his parents, but he also insisted they maintain a friendly relationship. She agreed to these terms. However, complications arose when Sunny got engaged to another woman a few days later.

On July 22, the situation escalated when Sunny's wife went to his residence in Vigyan Nagar. Upon confronting him about his engagement, a heated argument ensued, leading to Sunny allegedly assaulting her.
