[Wikimediaindia-l] Barkha Datt's comments about the Wikipedia

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

At around 1:04:50- 1:04:55 of this discussion
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3RhsO9q_y8], the Indian television anchor
Barkha Dutt complains: "Wikipedia says I have three husbands. I've not met
them yet."

Is her complaint true? If so, can it be rectified?

If not, can it be clarified?
