When Chef Ali Mandhry finally said “I do” to his bride in September 2014, many blogs mistakenly reported that the two had been dating for a while. The truth was that before their nuptials, Chef Ali and his wife, Khadija Abdalla, were strangers to each other.
Four years on, 31-year-old Chef Ali still calls the 23-year-old Khadija ‘my princess Dija’. Judging by the pictures which dot their social media pages, although Khadija might come across as an aloof porcelain beauty, she dotes on her husband and two young daughters.
