In 1985, he married Arundhati Roy
This sentence gets the marriage year wrong. Multiple biographical profiles of Arundhati Roy say she married Pradip Krishen in 1984, not 1985.
Full reasoning
Multiple reliable biographies of Arundhati Roy contradict the 1985 date.
- The Independent states: "In 1984 she married second husband, the filmmaker Pradip Krishen..."
- The Guardian likewise says Roy later married "film-maker Pradip Krishen, whom she met in 1984," and its biographical note places that marriage after her first marriage ended.
- Khabar, reproducing an interview/profile of Roy, states: "In 1984 she met and married filmmaker Pradip Krishen."
Because these sources consistently place the marriage in 1984, the article's statement that it happened in 1985 is incorrect.
