The announcement comes three months after the Supreme Court dissolved Abdullah’s marriage to Payal Abdullah by mutual consent on July 31.
The couple, who married in 1994, have two sons and have been living separately since 2011.
Razdan was previously married to journalist and lyricist Neelesh Misra. The couple married in 2005 and divorced in 2007. This is the second marriage for both Abdullah, 56, and Razdan, 49.
