Adnan and Zeba’s Tumultuous Marriage
Zeba Bakhtiar and Adnan Sami wed in 1993, however they soon divorced in 1997. Zeba said that the Pakistani and UAE officials were being uncooperative with her during the custody dispute over her kid. Even yet, after she filed a custody appeal with a Canadian court, her kid was taken away from her by immigration officers who barged into her house. Zeba is accused of defamation by Adnan.
Zeba on the Stress of the Legal Battle
When asked how she handled the strain of a nasty and protracted custody dispute with musician and ex-husband Adnan Sami, Zeba responded that at the time of their marriage, she was about to conclude her film career and had no desire to pursue acting further. Later, she wished to produce and write. “Once I married Adnan and Azaan was born, I was wholly committed to him,” she remarked. Nonetheless, I started working on production and other projects when marriage was not possible. I went insane. As the coping mechanism originates somewhere but I was not there, I was functioning. I can’t remember certain quite large patches that I have. It was quite challenging.
Zeba also expressed her gratitude for being reunited with Azan following an 18-month custody dispute. She returned to acting when her friends advised her that she should work to preserve her mental health.
Zeba on Marriage Break
In the same interview, she stated: “Never does a woman decide to end a marriage on her own. When she reaches that point—you know, the one where you can’t move past it—she acts accordingly. when it is absolutely necessary. Never does a woman say, “I’m going to be a cool, powerful woman and I’ll leave home,” No! It’s because I’ve tried everything I know how to do and have put my patience and endurance to the test. I tried everything I could to keep the relationship alive, but neither of us are benefiting from it at this point.”
People are taught to work even when things are not going as they should, according to Zeba. He added that survival skills are seldom taught in schools. People always learn when presented with a challenge, he asserted, therefore one should turn within for answers and support rather than seeking it outside or from others.
Zeba’s Career
Zeba made her Bollywood debut in 1991 with Rishi Kapoor’s Henna after appearing in well-known Pakistani TV dramas like Anarkali in the late 1980s. She appeared in a few other movies, such as Mohabbat Ki Arzoo, Jai Vikrantha, Stuntman, and Muqdama (1996), but she quickly went back to Pakistan.
