Dr Amir Liaquat has married for the second time with Tooba. However, Bushra has now confirmed that Amir had divorced her. “It’s time to elaborate my relationship with my former husband which is he had divorced me,” Bushra added.
She further said “Divorcing me is a separate thing, but by doing that on phone and also inviting Tooba in the joint call and then divorcing me on Tooba’s request was inappropriate.”
Bushra said it came as a shock and it was very painful. “I leave this matter to Allah Almighty,” she added.

Earlier this year a change to the Twitter profile of Amir Liaquat’s first wife Bushra had raised a lot of eyebrows. Bushra had removed Amir’s surname from her Twitter bio. Her profile then read, ‘Syeda Bushra Iqbal’ instead of ‘Syeda Bushra Amir’.
The sudden change had led to speculations about the couple on social media. Fans had assumed that the couple had been divorced. However, nothing had been confirmed from any of the parties then.
Nearly two years ago, the TV host and PTI representative married for the second time which had caused a lot of stir on media and he and his new wife Tooba Amir were heavily criticised on media.
Amir’s daughter Dua also had also expressed her resentment on social media after finding out about her father’s second marriage. In fact, she used terms like ‘homewrecker’ and ‘fake’ for Tooba but Bushra never came upfront and talked about the matter publicly.
