When Mouni Roy posted a picture of a guy named Suraj Nambiar back in 2022 with the simple caption "Everything," the internet basically exploded. People were scrambling. Who is this guy? Is he an actor? A model? Turns out, he’s neither. While Mouni is busy playing the iconic antagonist in Brahmastra or dancing on the sets of Dance India Dance, her husband is quietly running a business empire that spans from Dubai to Bangalore.
Most people think of Suraj as just another "celebrity spouse" who follows his famous wife to red carpet events. But that’s kinda doing him a disservice.
Honestly, Suraj Nambiar is a powerhouse in his own right. He’s an investment banker, an entrepreneur, and a guy who literally had no clue Mouni was a superstar when they first met. Seriously. He’d been living outside of India for so long—over 12 years—that he was totally oblivious to her Naagin fame.
The Meet-Cute That Happened in Dubai
It wasn't some scripted Bollywood scene. It was New Year’s Eve, 2019. Dubai was buzzing. Suraj was just at a bar trying to get a drink when he spotted a group of girls. Mouni was there with nine couples—she was the only single person in the group.
Her best friend actually played matchmaker that night.
They didn't talk much at first. It was just a few glances and some basic small talk. But Mouni kept visiting Dubai, and they kept "bumping" into each other. Eventually, those chance meetings turned into three years of long-distance dating. You’ve gotta respect that. Maintaining a relationship between Mumbai and Dubai isn't exactly easy when one person is a top-tier actress and the other is navigating the world of capital markets.
Suraj Nambiar: The Man Behind the Suits
So, what does he actually do?
Suraj isn't just "rich." He’s academically decorated. He grew up in Bangalore and went to the Jain International Residential School. Then he tackled Civil Engineering at R.V. College of Engineering. But engineering wasn't the final stop. He headed to the London School of Economics for Financial and Managerial Accounting and even did a stint at Stanford University.
Here’s a quick look at his professional footprint:
- Investment Banking: He started his career in the UAE, eventually becoming the Director of Capital Markets.
- Ultimate Gurus: This is a project he and Mouni launched together. It’s an EdTech platform where experts (the "gurus") teach their crafts—everything from acting to business strategy.
- Events and Real Estate: He’s reportedly involved in an event management firm in Pune and holds significant real estate interests in Dubai.
His net worth is estimated to be around 80 crores, though celebrity financial stats are always a bit of a moving target. What is clear is that he brings a very grounded, "corporate" energy to Mouni's high-glamour life.

That Two-Wedding Celebration in Goa
By the time January 2022 rolled around, the rumors were a dull roar. They finally tied the knot at the Hilton Goa Resort in Candolim. But they didn’t just do one ceremony.
Because Mouni is Bengali and Suraj is a Malayali from Bangalore, they did both.
The morning was a traditional South Indian wedding. Mouni looked incredible in a white saree with red borders, and Suraj wore a classic silk mundu and gold kurta. Later, they switched it up for a traditional Bengali ceremony. It was intimate, but the guest list still had names like Mandira Bedi and Arjun Bijlani.
Suraj later admitted in an interview that he was actually "marriage-phobic" for a long time. He liked his freedom. But Mouni eventually gave him an ultimatum: either we do this, or we don’t. He realized his life would be "better with her," and honestly, that’s about as real as it gets.

Life in 2026: The Trio with Disha Patani
If you follow the paparazzi accounts today, you’ll notice something interesting. Suraj isn't just seen with Mouni; he’s almost always with Disha Patani too.
Just this week, in mid-January 2026, the trio was spotted at the Mumbai airport returning from a massive royal wedding in Udaipur. They were celebrating the marriage of Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben.
It’s actually become a bit of a running joke among fans. They call themselves a "pack." Whether it's Diwali parties or New Year’s get-togethers, Suraj has integrated perfectly into Mouni's inner circle. There was even a moment last year when Mouni tripped at a party, and both Suraj and Disha rushed to catch her at the exact same time. It’s that kind of genuine bond that most people don’t expect from celebrity friendships.
Why Their Marriage Actually Works
Suraj has been pretty vocal about the "paparazzi" side of things. He wasn't used to it. The first time he visited Mouni in Mumbai and saw photographers waiting at the airport, it hit him. This is my life now. But they make it work through "prioritization."
He spends a lot of time in Mumbai now, even though his business roots are in Dubai. He’s an adventure junkie—loves skydiving and trekking—and he’s managed to pull Mouni into that world a little bit too.
What you can learn from their dynamic:
- Shared Ventures: Launching Ultimate Gurus together wasn't just about money; it was about blending their two worlds (entertainment and business).
- Cultural Respect: Having two weddings wasn't just for the photos; it was about honoring where they both came from.
- Privacy within Publicity: They don't hide, but they don't overshare. You won't find them in every single tabloid, and that's probably why they seem so stable.
If you’re looking to follow Suraj’s path, it’s less about marrying a movie star and more about the education. He built a foundation in finance and engineering before he ever stepped into the limelight. If you want to see what he's up to now, his Instagram is usually full of travel shots and behind-the-scenes looks at his latest business projects. He’s proof that you can be the "husband of" someone famous without losing your own identity in the process.
To keep up with their latest moves, keep an eye on their joint business ventures like Ultimate Gurus. It’s a pretty interesting look at how celebrities are pivoting into the tech space in 2026.
