The actress made an appearance in Suno Digital’s podcast in which she talked about her ex-husband’s torturous behaviour and her abusive marital life.
Talking about meeting her ex-husband, Zainab said, “It was a love marriage, I knew my ex-husband and he was quite serious about me. He was forcing me to get married with him, he was insisting a lot. He wanted me to leave my profession to get married to him. Well, I met him in Lahore, when I was in Karachi he started pressurizing me for marriage, I couldn’t even investigate about him and got into his trap especially when he said that leave your profession and sit at home, you don’t need to work. In two years, I was completely hypnotized by him, I was in his control and wanted to marry him, however, my my family wasn’t agreed. Here is the link to the video:
She further revealed that her ex-husband was already married about which she knew but her family members didn’t know and they refused her to marry him. Here is the link to the video:
She further said that her husband was very much possessive, talking about it, she said, “once I was on my OST shoot, where I had to film a scene with leading actor by holding his hand, whenever I used to start that specific scene with the male lead, he would start crying, which was also noted by the director Abdullah Badini who warned me and said, “Zainab, you are badly trapped by him”.
Talking about her husband’s behaviour, she said, “He once asked me to give away all my jeans to which I agreed and promised him that I won’t wear jeans. I then asked him for money which he was supposed to give me but he refused to give it to me. I was okay with that too. He then urged me to make his first wife my business partner and to send my daughter to an average school where the fee was low because he couldn’t afford the fee for my daughter.”
She also said that her husband’s ex-wife accepted her instantly with a purpose: she began making plans to destroy her marriage by manipulating her ex-husband. Zainab stated that the ex-wife accepted her as part of a cunning move to create hurdles for her in future.
Zainab said, “His first wife was living with us because she wanted equal rights, she came at house, observed me and started playing her moves against me. She started manipulating my husband, she entered my house to know my nature and used it against me, she didn’t take stand but accepted me to destroy my marital life, she could communicate with me, I could to back out easily. He started taunting me on my expenses after which I restarted my social media and informed him.
