In a recent interview, she finally spoke openly about her husband’s extra-marital affairs. Her words were shocking for many people, but they also showed how strong and patient she is as a woman.
❤️ How Their Love Story Started
Zarina met Aditya Pancholi during a film shoot. She saw him crying one day and held his hand to comfort him. This simple moment started their relationship. Just 15 to 20 days later, they got married. It was a quick decision, and many people said the marriage wouldn’t last long.
But Zarina and Aditya stayed together for more than 38 years. They have two children a son named Sooraj and a daughter named Sana. Even though their journey was full of ups and downs, they never got divorced.
🧨 Aditya Pancholi’s Affairs
Zarina knew her husband had extra-marital affairs. He was linked with actresses like Pooja Bedi and Kangana Ranaut. These relationships were public, and people in the industry and media talked about them a lot.
Zarina said that yes, she used to feel sad sometimes, but she never made a big deal about it. She decided not to fight or argue with him. She said,
“If I keep crying about it or keep fighting, I will be the one who suffers. I don’t want to suffer.”
🙏 Why She Never Left Him
Zarina made it clear that she was not weak or dependent on her husband. She said,
“I have my own house, my own money, and I can live alone if I want. But I don’t want to. I love him.”
She also said that many men in this world have affairs, but they still come home, take care of their families, and live normally. According to her,
“What matters is how the man is at home. My husband always respected me and our family at home.”
🤫 She Chose Silence Over Drama
Zarina said she never asked her husband about the affairs. She never shouted or argued. She believes asking too many questions only makes things worse.
She said,
“I used to laugh when I saw the news about him in the papers. What should I do? Cry every day? No, I chose peace.”
She believed that these relationships were just phases and would end. And they did.
👩👧 Her Role as a Mother
Zarina focused more on her children and home than her husband’s outside life. She raised her kids with love and discipline. She protected them from all the negativity around.
Her son Sooraj Pancholi was also in the news for legal issues related to actress Jiah Khan’s death. But Zarina stood by her son like a rock and always showed her support.
💬 Her Final Words in the Interview
In the interview, she said:
“I didn’t want to suffer. I wanted peace. That’s why I ignored many things and focused on my family. Today, I’m happy because I chose silence and patience.”
She also said that she never forced her husband to stay. She gave him freedom, and he came back home himself.
