On the morning show hosted by Nida Yasir, actor and singer Hadiqa Kiani opened up on topics ranging from her professional life to her personal life. The Raqeeb Se diva also opened up about her failed marriage with Syed Fareed Sarwary, a UK-based Afghan businessman.
During the interview, the host asked Hadiqa Kiani about her former husband, how she met him, and the reason for her divorce. “It was a completely arranged marriage,” the singer responded. “He was a 3D animator and used to make my videos in the 90s.”
“He fell in love with me,” she added. “One of our mutual friends helped him in sending a marriage proposal to my house. My family accepted the proposal since they were already looking for a proposal for me.”
“The major obstacle in my marriage was his mother,” the singer continued. “She had a problem with my music. We lived together for five and a half years and after that, we parted ways.”
“The biggest mistake I made was that when I was engaged to him I was not happy and satisfied with it, but during this time period he attempted suicide by eating pills, which changed my mind about it,” Kiani recalled.
The Dobara star then revealed that she later married an Afghani man who lived in United Kingdom to give her child a surname and to complete his paperwork.
Last year she took to her Instagram handle and posted a long note in which she appreciated the government’s new policy related to allow children of single mothers eligible to acquire CNIC without father’s information.
In a ruling, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) to issue Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) to a woman who didn’t know about her father’s whereabouts.
The Zindagi Gulzar Hai singer stated: “Only Allah knows the hardships a single mother faces in our country. Today I have been sent so many clips from my conversation with Sameena Peerzada regarding only the surface of those hard realities but today our country has taken one step forward. I am so grateful to the courageous men and women who fought to make this change. Let’s continue on the right path, let’s make a stronger and safer Pakistan.”
Hadiqa adopted her son Naad-E-Ali in 2005 from Edhi Foundation, and has raised her child as a single mother.
