Sadia Imam reveals her husband stopped her from working after marriage

TV host Sadia Imam has admitted for the first time, after 12 years of marriage, that her husband stopped her from working after her wedding.

Sadia Imam married Pakistani-born German industrialist Adnan Haider in 2012, and they have a daughter.

After marriage, Sadia Imam stayed away from showbiz for a long time, but in recent years, she has appeared in TV programs and at events. In 2020, during an interview, she denied rumors of quitting showbiz and clarified that it was her husband who stopped her, but she had not left the industry.

Now, however, Sadia Imam has openly admitted that her husband did stop her from working in showbiz after marriage.

The actress recently appeared on Samaa TV’s morning show, where she discussed challenges before and after marriage, sharing her own experiences.

During the show, she mentioned that in the past, mothers used to train their daughters well, but that seems to have changed now. She explained that, despite being a well-known actress, her mother would insist she attend family weddings and other functions. “Even if I didn’t want to, I would still go to family events because of my mother’s insistence.”

Sadia Imam said that her parents instilled in her the habit of attending family gatherings, which she still practices today. She believes that this strengthens family bonds and provides valuable lessons. She noted that such training isn’t seen in today’s generation, as the upbringing of girls has changed.

Speaking about women who want to work or pursue a career after marriage, Sadia Imam said that there is a mindset in society that needs to change. She emphasized, “This mentality can be changed through media, including TV programs.”

She revealed, “My husband liked me as an actress before marriage, but after we got married, he stopped me from working in showbiz.”

She shared, “I had the talent and desire to continue my work in showbiz, but there was nothing, just my husband’s ego problem preventing me from working in showbiz.”
