'Woman card' played against my son; Feroze Khan's mother defends him
Controversial actor Feroze Khan's mother, Fatima Khan, recently gave an interview in which she spoke for the first time about her son's divorce, the abuse allegations against him, and his past relationships. She claimed that the abuse allegations made by Feroze's ex-wife, Aliza Sultan, were completely false.
Khan’s mother deemed many accusations baseless, adding, "If I start revealing things, there's a lot I could say, but I choose to stay silent."
Without naming Aliza, she remarked that society often gives more weight to women's words.
"People think men are like stone or iron, that nothing affects them, but that's not true," she said.
She clarified that many men are loud and expressive, but that does not equate to abuse. She defended her son by saying he is a generous man who never hesitates to help anyone financially. "He's a king at heart. Whoever asks him for money, he gives without a second thought," she added.
Addressing rumours, Feroze Khan's mother dismissed claims that their joint family caused his divorce. She stated that even though they lived as a joint family, her son ensured his ex-wife had every comfort and facility she needed.
"It's not true that she was deprived because of the family dynamics," she said.
Feroze Khan’s mother also spoke about the struggles her family faced during that time, saying, "At the time of the divorce, the 'woman card' was being played everywhere. Everyone blamed my son, and nobody stood by him or said even one word in his favour."
She expressed disappointment with the showbiz industry, revealing that while they had hoped for support from many people, no one defended Feroze. "We went through a very tough time," she said.
When asked about Feroze's career during that period, she admitted, "We were all scared, thinking his career might be over. But God opened new doors for him, and the difficult time passed."
In the interview, Fatima Khan also spoke about Feroze's previous relationship with actress Sajal Aly and briefly discussed her daughter, Humaima Malick, and her acting career.
