What are they doing right now, characters from the early-2000's song "Hello Pooja"

 We heard them, and we loved them! We remember the classic 2000's song "Hello Pooja" about a college student with a limited vocabulary in his repertoire of conversation topics with his friends. Here's an updated list of what happened to all the characters from the song, 22 years on!

Pooja
After going out with the Boy from the song once, she figured out his deal and didn't go on any more dates, and came up with increasingly convoluted excuses to avoid him. A year later, her aunt who had recently moved to Australia arranged for her to move there to complete further education. She completed two advanced degrees in University of Perth, joined an up-and-coming online business, and quickly rose through the ranks. She married an Australian man whose family had moved from Italy when he was a child, and now they have two daughters, aged 15 and seventeen. They own four houses in Sydney and three in Canberra, on account of having invested in RE when prices were cheap. However, they make sure their daughters don't take them for granted and live a comfortably middle class lifestyle.

The Other Girl
After approaching The Boy in the year 2001 (or was it 2000? we forget!) she went on a few dates with him and realized that he wasn't really as interesting as her friends had made him out to be. He wanted to keep dating and she didn't have the heart to break up so they were together for the next three years. Until her parents brought up the topic of marriage, and she opened up to the idea of arranged marriage. She suddenly broke up with him to marry her husband, who was studying medicine at the time and is now the director of a private hospital's ortho unit. They have a son together, he's planning on moving to Australia soon.

The Boy
After dating The Other Girl for a couple of years, and being broken up with unceremoniously, he lost faith in relationships and dated several women more casually. He was part of the 2003 riots in Kathmandu that ended up with many stores and Arab airlines' offices smashed up. After a particularly raucous breakup with a girl from a well-connected family, the girl's father reached out to his family and threatened to sue if their son didn't marry his daughter. They are currently married, have a rather loveless relationship though well off. His wise has taken over her father's construction business and is busy while the servants take care of their teenage children. His daughter has taken to smoking and drinking while in her mid-teens. He is semi-employed and feels humiliated by his wife's career success.
