This was indeed a very special weekend for former model, jewellery designer and perennial party girl Queenie Singh. The beautiful lady married her boyfriend of two years Rishi Sethia aboard a yacht in glamorous St Tropez, France, on Saturday.
This is the second time around for both Singh and Sethia. Singh, 48, was previously married to businessman Raja Dhody via a nikaah ceremony. While Sethia, the son of tea trader and banker Nirmal Sethia, and a man of varied business interests, was previously married to actor Neelam Kothari. Both couples had high profile and widely reported breakups.
Friends of the couple have been privy to the whirlwind romance Sethia brought to Singh, a woman who loved the good life and fine luxuries. Exotic holidays with international celebrities became a thing du jour for Queenie with this romance.
“I ask her to marry me every day, and I would do it yesterday,” Sethia told this reporter at a fashion show five months ago. Singh had meanwhile blushed like a young girl.
She took her time in saying yes, ensuring her children were comfortable with the idea first.
Ill prepared for yesterday's surprise ceremony, Singh was in a sari during the nuptials. “This is the tiny one. Next month we’ll get married according to Hindu rites in Delhi,” she said.

“It was very last minute,” she messaged from her phone when we asked for confirmation. “There are just five people on the boat with us, including [clothing mogul and restaurateur] Richard Caring. But my kids are with me.”
