During interrogation, she allegedly confessed to her husband's murder and named Kushwaha and three hitmen - Vishal Chauhan, Anand Kurmi, and Akash Rajput - as co-conspirators.

Aly Goni On His Marriage Plans With Jasmine Bhasin: ‘Bhagwaan Ki Marzi…'

When probed about wedding plans, Aly Goni told Zoom that that there are no such plans at the moment. Aly also clarified that neither he nor Jasmine is postponing it, attributing the delay to God's will and timing. 'There is no plan as of now. There is no delay; Bhagwan delay kar rahe hai. Kisi ki duaayein hain. Jab woh chahege tab woh hoga (God is delaying the plans. It's someone's wishes. When God wants then only it will happen)," he said. He further added, 'Hum bilkul Allah pe rakhte hai har cheez. Koi plan nahi hai. Kuch nahi socha hai. Main har cheez mein bolta hu inshallah. (We completely leave everything to Allah. We have no plans. We have not thought of anything. I say Inshallah in everything)." Presently, Aly is currently seen in the cooking reality show Laughter Chefs season 2, which concludes this weekend, and there is a lot of excitement about who will emerge as the winner. Aly Goni and Jasmine Bhasin met each other in 2018 during their participation in Rohit Shetty's reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi. Their time together in Argentina for the show's shoot led to a deep friendship, which blossomed into a love story after Aly entered the Bigg Boss house as a wildcard entry, where Jasmine was already locked as a contestant. During the stint, he secretly confessed his feelings to Jasmine and ever since, they have been together. Meanwhile, Jasmine Bhasin and Aly Goni recently moved in together. The actress opened up about why she believes that moving in with each other is the best decision for them. In an interview with CurlyTales, the actress shared, 'We don't want to end up saying, 'Let's get married and live together,' only to start hating each other. That's why I believe this is the best time to test our friendship by living together." She further added, 'Everyone around us says that couples break up because living together is very different from dating, so we decided to give it a try and see if we can maintain peace, harmony, and a healthy relationship." Jasmin Bhasin was recently seen in the reality show The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar.
