90 Day Fiancé: Did Sunny Mahdi Come To The U.S. After Getting Engaged To Veah Netherton? (Where Is He Living Now?)

Sunny Mahdi from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days got engaged to Veah Netherton and planned on moving to America to get married to the Florida woman. Sunny is originally from Bangladesh. He moved to South Africa to work with his father in a grocery store. He had a hard time meeting people in his community and, after a failed relationship, resorted to internet dating. Sunny met Veah a year before filming the show. Veah’s pictures made Sunny believe she was a scammer. However, they both soon developed crushes on each other and decided to date long distance.

Veah seemed to want to spend a lifetime with Sunny. She was already talking about having babies with Sunny in her introduction. However, she also feared Sunny’s suspicious nature. He also had apprehensions about her friendship with her ex, Rory. Veah betrayed Sunny’s trust by taking Rory with her to South Africa. However, Sunny was understanding of Veah’s anxiety issues despite initial hesitation. Unfortunately, Veah had other things to worry about, such as Sunny wanting her to convert. Sunny demanded a Muslim wife even though he wasn’t a strict follower of his religion.

Sunny & Veah's Engagement Was A Surprise To Viewers

Sunny Told Veah He Was Okay With Her Not Converting

Sunny was at a crossroads in his relationship with Veah. He loved her deeply and dreamed of marrying her, but there was one major obstacle: Veah was unwilling to convert to Islam. Sunny had been carrying an engagement ring with him for a long time. However, Sunny was hesitating because he didn't want a non-Muslim wife and had guessed that Veah would never convert to his religion. Veah's stubbornness and Sunny's hidden regressive nature looked like it was going to become a deal-breaker for the couple.

Still, Sunny chose to focus on the present and leave the conversion topic for the future. Sunny and Veah were celebrating their one-year dating anniversary, and he took her for a hike to a picturesque waterfall. Sunny whipped out the ring he wanted to propose to Veah with and she accepted it, knowing Sunny's feelings for her were true.

Sunny's vision was clouded by what his family expected from him. He wasn't letting the independent Veah take a stand and it was hurting her. Sunny admitted he would broach the conversion subject in the future but didn't tell Veah. For now, it was their being together that mattered.
