Sources close to the 54-year-old Tharoor declined to comment on the reports, urging the media to respect his privacy. “He will announce whatever, when he has something to announce,” the sources said.
Media reports said Tharoor proposed to marry Sunanda, a girl from a Kashmiri family. Trained as a beautician, Sunanda runs a spa and has lived in Dubai. The Minister is said to be undergoing a legal separation from his second wife Christa Giles, a Canadian civil servant who works with the United States on disarmament issues. Tharoor was earlier married to academic Tilottama Mukherji.
