Javed Sheikh and Momal Sheikh are the star father-daughter duo. They have both done well in their careers with Javed Sahab being the absolute superstar both in films and television. They have had a turbulent family life initially when Javed Sheikh and his wife Zeenat Mangi went through separation and divorce. They have spoken about how children suffered and parents also had to go through hard times because of it. They reconciled as a family and brought their dad back home when Momal was getting married.
Javed Sheikh and Momal Sheikh were guests on Gohar Rasheed’s Ramz and spoke about how divore affects men and women. Javed said that he feels women suffer a lot more when a relationship breaks. A man busies himself in his work and outside but the woman is in the house. She is taking care of the children. She has to feel a lot more pressure and therefore she suffers a lot more.
This is what he said:
Momal Sheikh spoke for men who go through a divorce. She said that men’s emotions do get sidelined under such conditions. A man rarely gets the custody of the children. The woman will have the kids with her which will pacify her. A man is never asked how he will cope with not having his kids with him. Also men are not allowed to showcase their emotions. In a world where women also go out and work, a man should also get an equal chance with his children after divorce. His family can step in and help. Men also go through similar grief after getting divorced.
