Veteran Pakistani actress Faryal Gohar and actor Jamal Shah discussed their separation during ARY Digital’s Ramadan transmission, Shaan-e-Sahoor. The discussion focused on their past decisions and the impact of their divorce.
During the show, the host asked if their lives changed significantly after the divorce. Jamal Shah reflected on a past incident when he wanted to open an institution in Islamabad. Faryal had advised him against it, expressing concern about the woman involved. Despite warnings, Shah went ahead with his plan. He later admitted that the decision turned out to be wrong and contributed to rising tensions between them.
Faryal Gohar explained that such decisions added strain to their relationship, creating ups and downs in their married life. She candidly shared that, in hindsight, marrying Jamal Shah was a decision she now considers mistaken.
The actress also reflected on the sacrifices she made during her marriage. She recalled growing up in a disciplined household and adapting to an environment where she wore a chadar and a burqa. Despite challenges, Gohar emphasized the love she shared with her mother-in-law and her continued respect for the family even after the divorce.
Gohar shared that, even after more than 34 years since the marriage ended, Jamal Shah’s nieces and nephews remain in contact with her. She noted that this ongoing connection reflects the strong bond she once had with her in-laws, describing them as family rather than mere relatives.
She concluded by reflecting on her youth, stating that she was only 23 when she married. The experience, though challenging, taught her lessons about love, family, and the importance of making careful life choices.
Fans appreciated Faryal Gohar’s honesty in discussing her divorce, viewing it as a courageous step in sharing personal experiences while highlighting enduring family ties and mutual respect.
