Divorce can be a very emotional journey filled with unexpected challenges and personal reflections.
Recently, actress Hiba Ali appeared as a guest on ‘Fuchsia Magazine’. She talked about the emotional journey of her unplanned divorce, her struggle with depression, and the challenges of her child custody case.
“For me, it was always unexpected. I wanted to stay with my husband because he was the father of my son, and I hoped for a relationship built on understanding,” said Hiba Ali when discussing her divorce.
She explained that he was “a good person” but they struggled with understanding each other on basic issues.
“He was educated, and I considered myself sensible; we couldn’t afford to argue over small things every day,” she explained.
“We decided on divorce at a dinner table,” she revealed.
Hiba Ali said she was “shocked” after the custody case as her former husband believed that she had distanced their son from him while he was in Canada.
“Ultimately, it was our child’s choice whether to communicate with his father or not. We reached a compromise on the custody case outside of court because I didn’t want to give in easily. I told him he would only be wasting his money.”
However, she feels conflicted about the decision.
“Looking back, I wonder if marrying was a mistake or if I should not have divorced at all,” she said.
Hiba Ali is currently starring in the drama serials ‘Shiddat’ and ‘Jaan Nisar.’
