In an interview, Khalil-ur-Rehman shared one of the pieces of advice he gave to his wife after getting married.
“I always tell my wife that she is immature right now and so, she should not befriend any woman who has gone through a breakup or gotten divorced. Not to say divorced women are bad but frankly, they can never be happy in your happiness, because they’ve just lost what you have”.
Saba Faisal
Senior actress Saba Faisal made it to the headlines when she brought up her family issues on social media.
Saba shared a video and announced that she has cut ties with her son Salman and his wife Neha. “To everyone who has been abusing me under Neha’s post, I want to say that when a woman like Neha becomes a part of a family – someone who’s as negative as her – then those families fall apart”.
Later, the actress addressed the matter and said she regrets posting videos against her son and daughter-in-law.
Hassan Ahmed
Another celebrity who brought his personal matter on social media is Hassan Ahmed. The actor made a response video against his wife Sunita Marshal as she talked about his struggles at the beginning of his acting career in an interview.

I am a strong man, and it is my choice if I want to share my struggles or not”.
Behroz Sabzwari
Veteran actor Behroz Sabzwari received criticism online for her comment regarding women dressing styles.
