Mamta Sharma is married to Ashraf Ali, a businessman and lyricist, whom she met in 2005 when she was a paying guest at his family’s home. Their relationship blossomed over shared interests in music, with Ashraf contributing lyrics to songs like “Fevicol Se.”

They married in 2011 in a love marriage, despite initial opposition from Mamta’s family due to religious differences, as Ashraf is Muslim. Reports suggest Mamta converted to Islam but retained her name, though she has denied any coercion in her decision.
