Anchor Ayesha Jehanzeb who is currently making headlines on social media for sharing her painful domestic abuse story, recently appeared in a podcast and talked about her tough life.
She also opened up about the failure of her first marriage and her father’s behavior who disowned her.
Talking about it, she said, “I got married at a very young age. It was a love marriage. We were the most famous couple in our friend’s community, people used to call us Saif and Kareena. We were a perfect couple. He was Rajpoot, I belonged to an Araain family but that marriage failed badly.
"After two days, I got to know that he was an alcoholic. I didn’t know about it, we were kids when we fell for each other. I got married at 22, and at 24 I knew that it was the biggest mistake of my life. He was interested in someone else too. Well, I still love him, he’s now dead but still, I have feelings for him, I had to forgive him so that he would be at peace”.
Ayesha further added, “Jehanzeb gave me three beautiful kids. He passed away when I was twenty-seven or thirty. I didn’t know that he was suffering from cancer because we were apart. It was the 4th stage of cancer. My in-laws didn’t tell me about it, it was the doctor who called me and told me about his situation and asked me to be good with him as he was about to go.
At that time, I decided to contact my father and I complained to him that just because of his absence in my life, I found security in the very first person I knew. I also asked him to meet Jehanzeb for the last time after which he demanded a grand announcement function from me. It was unbearable, at that time I gave up on my father and informed him that he wouldn’t be able to see Jehanzeb in his life and the same happened and Jehanzeb passed away.
"I was literally unconscious after Jehanzeb’s burial when people took me to a man and asked me to meet, it was my father. I cried my heart out and forgave him, I had to forgive him. If I could forgive my husband, I could do the same to my father”.
