Actress Navika Kotia’s engagement has ended, and the news surfaced publicly only on October 27. She and Pune-based businessman Mazen Mody, who got engaged in January 2026, had been planning to marry in 2027. The source text spells his name “Majen Modi,” but most reports use “Mazen Mody.” desiblitz
The two reportedly parted ways by mutual agreement in early July. A source quoted by The Times of India said it was an arranged match, that they held a gol dhana ceremony in January and that they later found they were very different. Another account says the decision rested on compatibility, life priorities and expectations. Reports add that there was no bitterness. Navika has also removed photographs from the engagement ceremony from her social media account. Neither has made a detailed public statement beyond those quotes in reports. desiblitznewsx
How the Match Began
According to the source text, the two met through a mutual friend and knew each other for about a year. Navika once said she had always wanted her parents to have a say in her marriage, and that a small roka ceremony was held in November. Wikipedia records that the engagement took place in an intimate Mumbai ceremony on January 24, 2026, and that the couple later called it off over compatibility issues.
The Relationship Claim
Reports also say Mazen is now in a new relationship with actress Ritika Badiani. NewsX describes the reported relationship as a separate development after the end of the engagement. I found no confirmation from Mazen or Ritika, and it rests on social media updates. Mazen is a private individual, so this claim should be presented as unverified. The framing in the source headline, that a “Bollywood star entered her former fiancé’s life,” implies a cause-and-effect link that no report establishes, because the engagement reportedly ended months earlier. newsx
About Navika Kotia
Navika started as a child artist in shows such as “Kasam Se,” “Baa Bahu Aur Baby” and “Balika Vadhu.” She became widely known in 2012 as Sridevi’s daughter in “English Vinglish.” After an eight-year break to focus on studies, she returned to television in 2022 with “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” playing Maya “Mau” Khera. She later played the lead, Kesar, in “Kyunki Saas Maa Bahu Beti Hoti Hai” and appeared in three seasons of Amazon miniTV’s “School Friends.”
Why It Matters
For a fan base that followed her from child-actor roles through her comeback, an engagement that ended without public drama is a quiet but notable turn. The report’s tone, that both have “moved on,” suggests neither side wants more attention.
What Comes Next
Unless Navika or Mazen speak publicly, there is little further to report. Bolly Orbit will update this article if either confirms details.
