Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami’s former wife, Haseen Jahan, has accused him of neglecting their daughter’s education expenses while allegedly spending lavishly on the children of his girlfriends.

 

Jahan, a former model, married Shami in 2014, and the couple welcomed their daughter Aira in 2015. In 2018, she separated from the cricketer after accusing him of domestic violence, adultery, and dowry harassment.

In a social media post, Jahan alleged that Shami refused to support their daughter’s admission to a good school. Sharing Aira’s photo on Instagram, she wrote, “By the grace of Allah, I am very happy today, because enemies wanted my daughter not to get admission in a good school, but with Allah’s blessings, my daughter has now been admitted to a reputed international school. Alhamdulillah.”

 

She further claimed that, despite his wealth, Shami tried to obstruct their daughter’s education. “The father of my daughter, who is a multi-millionaire, tried hard to stop her from studying in a good school. Just because of his affairs with other women, he was playing with his daughter’s future. He sent his girlfriends’ children to the best schools, spent lakhs on business class flights for women, but refused to pay for his own daughter’s education,” she said.

 

Jahan added, “I thank Allah that there is law in this country, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened to us.”

 

Last month, the Kolkata High Court ordered Shami to pay a monthly allowance of 400,000 Indian rupees to his estranged wife and daughter. According to the ruling, Jahan will receive 150,000 rupees per month while Aira will receive 250,000 rupees. The court also said Shami is free to voluntarily contribute toward his daughter’s educational and other expenses.

 

However, Jahan challenged the ruling, filing a plea in the High Court to raise the allowance to 700,000 rupees for herself and 300,000 rupees for her daughter.
