Tabish Hashmi’s wife reveals sweet secret about their arranged marriage

Prominent host and comedian Tabish Hashmi and his wife Hira Khalid shared details about their first meeting for an arranged marriage.

The couple appeared for their first-ever joint interview with host Nida Yasir on ARY Digital’s Ramadan special transmission ‘Shan e Suhoor.’
Hira disclosed, “Tabish’s father and my grandfather used to be childhood friends.”

“But there was surely love at first sight,” the host said at which point Hira interrupted her, humourously saying, “From Tabish’s side.”

They reminisced about their initial meeting during the final days of Ramadan when Tabish, along with his family, visited Hira’s place, and Tabish fell in love with her at first sight.

When asked what initially attracted her to her husband, Hira said, “It was an arranged marriage. At that time, I agreed solely because of my parents’ decision, but eventually, gradually, I started liking many of his qualities.”

Hira also revealed that Tabish preferred face-to-face meetings over long calls during their engagement, prompting her to come up with excuses to meet him.
Hira and Tabish have been married for over 12 years and have two children together, a daughter and a son.
