Madiha Rizvi, husband have quite the interesting love story
Last week, writer-poet Junaid Ali Perwez confirmed his marriage to versatile actor Madiha Rizvi with a wedding video shared on social media.
During their first-ever joint interview after marriage, the ‘Jhooti’ actor dismissed all reports of Perwez being an old friend. Instead, she shared details of how they initially met and developed their relationship.
Rizvi disclosed that her now-husband is her first cousin, the son of her maternal uncle, and the two have known each other since childhood, while her husband revealed that he is three years younger than the actor.
Speaking of the age difference, Perwez said, “I never thought of it like that which is why it wasn’t a big deal for me. However, the only challenge – since I’ve never been married before – was to adjust with the kids who are already grown up and bond with them.”
He added, “We started discussing marriage only after she was sure that the three of us [Madiha’s two daughters and Junaid] could get along well.”
Madiha Rizvi, the daughter of veteran actor Deeba Rizvi, was formerly wedded to fellow actor Hasan Noman, the son of the late prolific artist Rasheed Naz, from 2013 to 2022. Together, the former couple has two daughters.
