Dimpy Mahajan pregnant

Reality TV couple Rahul Mahajan and wife Dimpy Ganguly seem to be ready for a new phase in their life - the buzz is that they are expecting their first child together.

Though the couple haven't officially confirmed the news, they have apparently been replying to personal congratulatory messages.

Kolkata-based model Dimpy married Rahul, the son of slain Indian politician Pramod Mahajan, on NDTV Imagine's reality TV show 'Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega' on March 6, 2010.

She had edged past 14 contestants from the show and over 16,500 applicants to be Rahul's bride.

Things went wrong for the couple just a few months after their marriage, on July 29, when Dimpy accused Rahul of domestic abuse. She said that he had woken her up wanting to know about an sms that she had received. When she said that she wanted to go back to sleep, he got angry and started hitting her. She walked out of the house after the incident.

Rahul had been accused of domestic violence by his first wife Shweta Singh too. Rahul and Shweta divorced in 2008.

Dimpy walked out of his house after the incident but returned a day later.

Rahul and Dimpy later signed up for counselling sessions with a psychologist in Mumbai to save their marriage.

Rahul had always been keen to start a family, saying in an earlier interview, "I want children. But when I give it all a thought, I feel that as a husband I must wait and it will all come with time. On the contrary, as a father, I want children to come quickly. I can't wait!"
