Actor Diana Penty has finally offered a rare glimpse into her personal life, confirming her long-standing relationship with businessman Harsh Sagar. In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, the Cocktail star shared that though they’re not legally married, she considers herself “married in her head” after being with him for over 12 years and knowing him for more than two decades.

Diana expressed her deep bond with Harsh, emphasizing that commitment matters more than the legal status of a relationship. “Yes, I am not single. I will not go on a rooftop and shout about it, but my partner and I have been together for 12 years, and we’ve known each other for 22 years, which is half of my life,” she said. “Even though I am not married, in my head I am. It’s the same thing because you’re respecting the relationship in the same way.”

She revealed that both their families fully support the relationship and there’s no external pressure to marry. “Both our families are very chill, and they respect what we have. Their priority is our happiness,” she said, clarifying that marriage isn't off the table but also isn't a necessity right now. “We live together, we have a dog together, and everybody knows we are together, so there’s no rush. It’s pretty much like being married. It’s not on paper, but that makes no difference to me or to him.”

Diana, who gained recognition with her 2012 debut in Cocktail, has built a steady career with films like Happy Bhag Jayegi, Chhaava, Azaad, and her recent release Detective Sherdil alongside Diljit Dosanjh. Despite being a public figure, she has maintained a private stance on her personal life until now.

Her honest take reflects a modern perspective on love and companionship, prioritizing emotional connection over societal conventions. With changing times, Diana Penty's candid admission resonates with many who define relationships beyond traditional norms.
