"Alexa, what do you call JIJU in Bengali?"
Drag queen Sushant Divgikr has gone public with their new relationship, unveiling their Bengali boyfriend.
Although Sushant did not reveal the man’s identity but fuelled marriage rumours by asking:
“Alexa, what do you call JIJU in Bengali?”
While dressed as their drag queen alter ego Rani Ko-HE-Nur, the mystery man’s face was only partially revealed.
The pair were having dinner at Sushant’s house.
The caption read: “Reveal when? Also in Marathi / konkani – we call Jiju – BHAUJI / BHAAIYA!
“What do you call Jiju in YOUR language?”
Sushant’s fans were excited by the announcement, with one commenting:
“Oh my god, the queen has found her king.”
Another said: “Awwww so so so happy for my queen. Lots and lots of love.”
A fan said: “Wait what, is this for real? Manifestation done right.”
One comment read: “Omg!! So happy to see this. God bless you.”
A fan said: “I am so so happy for you! Yay! We saw this coming and it’s finally happening!!!”
In a follow-up post, Sushant Divgikr shared:
“But like I mean !!! She’s been breaking stereotypes, barriers, glass ceilings so why not the internet!???
“Btw some more pics of Jiju and me are on the way. Excited?”
Sushant Divgikr previously opened up about the mystery man, saying:
“He works and lives in Australia, but he’s an Indian.
“Wherever I go I catch only Indians, my son-in-law must be an Indian! I want a proper Indian wedding.
“I have known him for a year. Before us, he was with someone else, but he broke up very soon after.”
“Our fondness for each other was always there. But even when you are attracted to someone, you don’t want to spoil someone else’s relationship.
“These are values I hold very close. I would never do that to anybody else, just like I wouldn’t want it to happen to me. We met in LA first, of all the places.”
Sushant Divgikr is an Indian model, actor and drag queen among other things.
