Nupur Sanon might be five years younger to sister Kriti Sanon, but the two have been more of friends than sisters. Nupur got married to longtime beau Stebin Ben on January 11. The couple tied the knot with Hindu and Christian rituals in Udaipur. The gala wedding ceremony was followed up by a grand wedding reception in Mumbai.

From Salman Khan, Disha Patani, Mouni Roy to Veer Pahariya and many other celebs attended the event. In a latest interview, Nupur has revealed that the first person she confided in about Stebin was her sister, Kriti. She said that there wasn't much to showcase in terms of career as Ben was just starting out back then. But, Kriti felt that he had talent and seemed like a genuine person.

First confided in sister

"The first person I told about Stebin was my sister (Kriti Sanon). We're five years apart but extremely close, we are like best friends. At that time, Stebin had just started professionally, so there wasn't much to show career-wise. I spoke more about him as a person. I made her listen to his voice, and she immediately said he had a magical voice and immense talent," she told ETimes.

How Kriti stepped up

Nupur said that it was after a few months that she told their mother, who wasn't very sure of the entire thing. It was then that Kriti stepped up as the elder sister and convinced the family about Stebin. Nupur said that it was Kriti's intervention that made the family have that confidence and belief in their relationship.

"A few months later, I told my mother. Initially, she was a little unsure, like most mothers, cautious about seriousness and the future. That's when my sister stepped in and told her, 'I've met Stebin. I've heard him. He's extremely talented and hardworking.' That confidence changed everything. And honestly, Stebin leaves a great impression when he meets people, so from there on, everything just fell into place," she added.
