Veteran film star Javed Sheikh has talked about his past marriage with singer Salma Agha and called it the ‘bad period’ of his life. The two were married in the 90s, becoming one of the most glamorous couples of the time. The marriage ended on a sour note.
Javed Sheikh finally opened up about the marriage, stating feeling guilty and regretful about it, during a recent appearance on ‘Subh Ka Samaa’ Madeha Kay Sath.
The A-lister discussed his first marriage to Zeenat Mangi and how his children, actors Momal and Shehzad Sheikh, were affected by the separation until he got remarried to Salma Agha.
“I didn’t want to separate from my first wife, but it happened. My children, Shehzad and Momal, went through a lot because of it. They were away from me for three years while I was married to Salma Agha,” Sheikh explained sadly.
Calling his divorce his biggest regret, Sheikh said, “It shouldn’t have happened, and I wish it didn’t. Even though our family was broken, my kids stayed strong, thanks to their mom. She deserves credit for keeping our family close, despite the separation. She made sure the kids spent time with me on family days.”
“My kids, Saleem’s kids, Behroz, and my other siblings’ kids would gather at my house in Lahore,” the veteran remembered fondly.
