Sunny Mahdi and Veah Netherton: Are They Engaged?
<em>90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days</em> couple Sunny Mahdi and Veah Netherton have a thrilling update for their fans. Originally hailing from Bangladesh, the 25-year-old Sunny resides in Durham, supporting his father in their family business. He met 27-year-old Veah, a Florida native, on a dating app one year before filming commenced. Veah traveled to South Africa to meet Sunny, but she brought along her ex-boyfriend, who is now her best friend, Rory. While Rory’s presence created tension for Sunny, it was not the only issue hanging over their budding relationship that could jeopardize their future together.
Veah confided in Rory about her concerns that Sunny was keeping her a secret from his family. Despite his serious intentions for a future with her, Sunny had not introduced Veah to his family. In his defense, Sunny claimed his family was aware of Veah but noted that he never introduced any girl to them before. Veah suspected that Sunny harbored doubts about his family’s acceptance of her, particularly due to her tattoos. However, the situation was more complex; Sunny’s family held hopes for him to marry a Muslim woman who adhered to their religious and cultural values, including a more traditional role.

To commemorate their one-year anniversary, Sunny took Veah to the stunning Drakensberg region. During this trip, they met Sunny’s father, but the meeting turned sour as his dad commented negatively on Veah’s tattoos and religious beliefs. This exchange only strengthened Sunny’s resolve to find a Muslim partner, despite his contradictory actions. He engaged in premarital intimacy with Veah and partook in drinking and partying, showing a stark contrast to his stated values. Sunny insisted, “You know that I’m Muslim. If we are together, you have to change your religion. You have to.”
