Sohail Khan and his wife Seema Sajdeh’s separation after 24 years of marriage sent shockwaves across the nation. The couple, who are parents to two kids - Nirvana and Yohan - announced their separation last year. Now, in a recent interview with Shivani Pau, Seema has shared several secrets from her life including several rumours about her divorce with Sohail.
She shared, “My father comes from a school of thought where he felt, ‘Now who will look after my daughter?’ Especially in our Indian culture, there is a stigma attached to divorce. Now we live in the day and age of social media so I have people comment like, ‘Oh she used him and that family for as long as she needed to, got where she wanted to get and now she wants to be free.’” ALSO READ | Seema Sajdeh Has SASSY Reply For Trolls Calling Her 'No More Bollywood Wife' After Her Split With Sohail Khan: ‘I Didn’t Know Women Were Defined By Their Husbands’
During the interview, the fashion designer revealed shocking details about her separation unknown to many. She shared that Sohail and her were separated for quite some years “but the world thought we were together.”
Sajdeh continued, “Why should I blame him, it suited both of us. Our son Nirvan was at that age where he didn’t want it but there came a time when I had to choose between my marriage and my son. My son was going down a path that I was very scared of. One morning I woke up and realised that either I focus all my energies on saving this marriage, or my son. That’s when I decided and chose him.”
While Seema and Sohail’s divorce reports hit the mainstream, a new rumour sparked, suggesting that the couple were going through a divorce because of ‘some other women’.
She revealed, “Some people say all sorts of things, that I felt because of other women, that’s the most common one. But no, I made a choice. When two people are in a situation where both of them are not happy, when there is constant fighting, the fallout is always the kids.”
She continued, “You don’t realise that in that phase of your life, time passes so quickly, kids grow up quickly, you don’t realise when you have done damage there (on the kids). The kids are collateral damage. So, it was a conscious decision for him.” ALSO READ | Sohail Khan's Ex-Wife Seema Sajdeh TROLLED For Drinking At Karan Johar’s Party; Netizen Says, ‘Itni Daaru Pee Rakhi, Ki Khadi Nhi Ho Pa Rehi’
