Sadia Imam, a popular actress and TV host, has shared for the first time that her husband stopped her from working in showbiz after they got married. This comes 12 years after her marriage to Adnan Haider, a Pakistani-born German businessman, in 2012. The couple has a young daughter.
After her marriage, Sadia Imam stayed away from acting for many years but returned to TV programs and events recently. In a 2020 interview, she denied quitting showbiz and said her husband was the one who didn’t want her to work, though she hadn’t completely left the industry.
Now, Sadia Imam has admitted that her husband did stop her from working after their marriage. During a recent appearance on Samaa TV’s morning show, she talked about the difficulties women face before and after marriage, sharing her own experiences.
Sadia Imam said that, in the past, mothers used to teach their daughters how to handle family responsibilities, but this isn’t as common now. She mentioned that even though she was a famous actress, her mother always made sure she attended family events, which helped her maintain strong relationships.
Speaking about women who want to work after marriage, Sadia Imam said there is a mindset in society that holds them back, and she believes this needs to change, with help from TV and other media. She also shared that her husband liked her as an actress before they got married, but after the wedding, he didn’t want her to continue working. She explained that it wasn’t about her talent, but her husband’s ego that kept her from staying in showbiz.
