Second marriages of Pakistani celebrities have gone viral in the past few years. In the past, weddings and divorces were not largely announced by the stars but with the new era rushing in, stars are getting hitched in a younger age and also properly announce their marriages. They also announce if things do not work out and divorces happen. Many big names have also gotten married again in the last decade or so and their second marriages became the talk of the town.
The Controversial Announcements
Marriages end in bitter ways and when you are a public figure, things get really tricky as many people see your daily life and personality and your decisions are scrutinized brutally at times. Thus, getting into a new relationship also brings a new wave of public opinion and stars are not always able to handle things in a graceful manner. Here are a few big names whose second marriages went viral on social media and not in a good way:
Feroze Khan
Feroze Khan is a big star in Pakistan and has a lot of influence in the industry. He was previously married to Syeda Aliza Sultan and the couple had two kids. Their divorce happened in a very ugly manner. Pictures of alleged physical abuse to child custody battle raged on. They have settled everything now and the industry which initially shunned Feroze has taken him back with open arms as he has a huge fan following (something Mohsin Abbas Haider who had this similar situation lacked).
Feroze Khan has now moved forward from the challenging time and he has gotten married once again. He shared a picture with new wife Dua as he welcomed her into his world. The reaction however, was not all positive. A lot of memes, criticism and sympathy for Aliza poured out and many on the internet are debating how men move forward so easily while women are left behind taking care of children.
Aamir Liaquat Hussain
Late Aamir Liaquat Hussain was a scholar, host and politician but in the end what he was known for were his marriages and his divorces. He was married to scholar and host Bushra Iqbal first and the couple had two children. They had a beautiful relationship until he married Syeda Tuba Anwar.
His marriage to Tuba did not last long and they separated after a brief period together. Syeda Tuba Anwar has now become an actress. She came to television alongside Aamir Liaquat who used to take her to live shows. She is successful in her career now and she announced her divorce back in the day when it happened.
Aamir then got married to Dania who proved to be a nightmare for him. They separated and she leaked her husband’s private videos online. Aamir Liaquat sadly passed away in a few days while his family is still fighting to get justice for him.
Iqrar Ul Hassan
Iqrar ul Hassan is another celebrity who is now known more for his marriages and less for his work lately. A very famous anchor, Iqrar ul Hassan got married to his first wife Qurutulain who he has the highest regards for. She was also an anchor and now she is a teacher.
His second marriage was to another anchor Farah Iqrar. This was a shock for people and he got a lot of criticism as this marriage was revealed after five years. Iqrar has always maintained that circumstances pushed him for this marriage and that is all he wants to say about this.
What further shocked people was his third marriage to anchor Aroosa Khan that just took place and his life and son have accepted it with open arms. The public however did not.
Shahroz Sabzwari
Shahroz Sabzwari and Syra Yousuf seemed to have a fairytale marriage until the news of their separation came out. Shahroz initially released a statement calling it fake news but within weeks the couple was not only divorced, Shahroz Sabzwari was spotted with the new love of his life. This created a whole mess initially as the divorce was just finalized.
Shahroz then got married to Sadaf Kanwal in an intimate ceremony and it became a huge controversy on social media. Shahroz and Sadaf got a lot of hate and things took time to settle down.
Shoaib Malik
Shoaib Malik is another name who has been famous for his marriage news. His first marriage to Ayesha Siddique in India was hidden when he went off to marry tennis star Sania Mirza. He went through a whole legal battle then and divorced his first wife as he got married to Sania Mirza.
Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik seemed to have a great marriage from the outside. They share a son Izhaan Mirza Malik and are both successful athletes. Things started falling apart last year as news of their separation came out but they never announced their divorce.
Shoaib Malik then got married to actress Sana Javed without announcing his divorce to Sania Mirza and this created further controversy. Sania’s family had to come forward and announce the divorce through social media.
Sana Javed
Sana Javed also took a similar trajectory and things looked very wrong from the outside. She was previously married to singer Umair Jaswal and later on released a marriage picture with Shoaib Malik while people thought that she was still married to Umair Jaswal.
Shoaib and Sana got a lot of hate in the way they do not properly release statements about their previous marriages ending and just dropped a bombshell in the shape of their wedding pictures.
Reham Khan
Reham Khan is an anchor and film producer. She was first married to Dr Ijaz ur Rehman. The couple had three kids and the marriage ended in a divorce.
Her second marriage was the most viral as she got married to cricket superstar and ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan in a simple ceremony. The marriage ended within a span of 10 months.
She is now married to actor Mirza Bilal and her third marriage also went viral.
Bushra Ansari
Bushra Ansari was married to Iqbal Ansari for three decades before they got divorced. They have two daughters and she is still very respectful towards him. Things did not work out and they finally parted ways.
She later got married to director Iqbal Hussain and the couple did not open up about their marriage. It was only recently that Bushra Ansari disclosed her second marriage and the news went viral all over social media. There were concerns about Iqbal’s children with ex Farah Sadia but things have settled down now.
The Happy Announcements
There have been second chances at love that were endorsed by the public and people loved those marriages. These second marriages proved to be happy moments for these celebrities and they also showed society how taking a second chance is never a bad idea:
Asad Siddiqui And Zara Noor Abbas
Asad Siddiqui and Zara Noor Abbas both went through bad experiences in their life before they found each other. They had a beautiful marriage and support and love each other a lot. They have recently been blessed with a beautiful daughter and they make the world believe in love.

Sanam Saeed And Mohib Mirza

Kiran Ashfaque Hussein Dar
Kiran Ashfaque was married to Imran Ashraf and the ex-couple has a son. They got divorced and Kiran took all the criticism head on and fought that getting divorced is not a taboo and not a woman’s fault.
She has found love again in Hamza Chaudhry. They got married in a simple ceremony and they are both very happy.
Madiha Rizvi
Madiha Rizvi was previously married to actor Hasan Noman. They share two daughters and their divorce was a shock for everyone. Hasan was not happy with how things went and shared his sentiments against divorce at the time.
Madiha Rizvi has now married again and to her cousin this time. It was a simple and happy ceremony and she looks content.
We wish all these stars and their ex and current partners healing and love as they move forward in their lives!
