Deepinder Goyal 2nd Wife Grecia Munoz
Years after his first marriage, Deepinder found love again with Grecia Muñoz, a story he shared on The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show. According to Deepinder, he was single for a long time when a friend decided to introduce him to Grecia during one of her visits to Delhi.
“I was single for the longest time. My friends would set me up on dates and advised me not to settle down,” Deepinder said. But when his friend introduced him to Grecia, the advice changed. “He said, ‘Make sure to meet her; you’ll end up marrying her.’” Intrigued by the recommendation, Deepinder met Grecia, and the connection was instant.
From chasing his first love for six months to finding a magical connection with Grecia, Deepinder Goyal’s personal life reflects his relentless pursuit of happiness and companionship, much like his journey in building Zomato into a global brand.
