Famous actress, model, and TV host Nadia Khan opened up about her first marriage during a recent appearance on a private TV morning show, admitting that her decision to marry at the age of 20 was a mistake driven by stubbornness and ego.
Khan, known for her successful career in the entertainment industry, confessed that despite her parents' repeated warnings, she rushed into marriage without considering the long-term consequences.
“At the time, I was young, impulsive, and unaware. I married out of stubbornness and ego,” she shared candidly during the interview.
She revealed that her career was flourishing, and everything seemed to be falling into place, yet she chose to marry against her parents’ wishes.
"My parents kept telling me to wait, but I didn’t listen. I made the decision, and I alone am responsible for it," she said.
Reflecting on her mother's premonition, Khan recalled how her mother had dreamt that the marriage would not end well, a prediction that, sadly, came true. "She had a dream that my marriage wouldn't work, but I didn’t pay heed to her words. I lived through fear and anxiety during that time," Nadia admitted.
The actress emphasised that while many of her peers at the time were getting married, she did not have the experience or understanding needed to make such an important decision.
"Girls my age were either already married or in relationships, but I had never experienced such things, so I made this decision out of spite," she added.
Although admitting that her first marriage was a mistake, Khan did acknowledge the positive outcome of having two children from that union, which she described as a beautiful gift.
"Despite the failure of my first marriage, I gained two wonderful children, and they made my life beautiful," she said with gratitude.
Nadia Khan also spoke about the harsh reality that love alone does not guarantee a successful marriage. "Falling in love doesn’t automatically mean that the marriage will work. Married life is an entirely different experience," she explained, offering a valuable lesson to those in similar situations.
The actress’s first marriage took place in the 1990s, and although she immediately realized it was a mistake, she continued the marriage for ten years. She also revealed that she has a daughter from her first marriage, who is now over 20 years old, and a 15-year-old son.
Khan later married Faisal Rao in January 2021, marking her third marriage. Both her first two marriages ended in divorce, and her third husband's first marriage also ended in divorce.
Despite the challenges, Nadia Khan has remained a prominent figure in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, continuing her career as a beloved TV host and actress.
