How did Sourav Ganguly and Nagma meet?

Nagma and Sourav Ganguly met during the World Cup in 1999, 2 years after the former cricketer's marriage. According to several reports, both of them were spotted together in a temple, a little further from Chennai. After this incident, there was a lot of chatter in the media about their relationship. Although Ganguly and Nagma never spoke openly about their relationship for a long time, their names started to be discussed so much that it started to affect Ganguly's married life as well as his career.

When Dona came to know about their 'affair', she wanted to divorce Ganguly, however, Dona took charge and labelled the news as a rumour, which resulted in Ganguly and Nagma's breakup. 

The news of them calling it quits surfaced in 2003. In an interview with Savvy Nagma indirectly indicated at it and said, "Whatever one says, nobody has denied anything. As long as there is no denial of each other’s existence in each other’s life, any person can say anything they want."

Talking about their separation, Nagma was quoted in a Filmibeat report stating, "When it becomes too much, it starts affecting the interest of one another. Then slowly, though you're supposed to bring happiness to a person's life, you bring misery. Then it's in the best interests to move on."
