Veteran Pakistani actor Firdous Jamal has recently dismissed widespread rumors suggesting he and his wife have divorced after 35 years of marriage. In response to the claims, Jamal clarified the situation in a social media interview, stressing that there is “no truth” to the rumors. “My wife has not taken ‘khula’ (divorce),” Jamal confirmed, dismissing the talk as baseless speculation.
The rumors initially gained traction when Jamal’s son, Hamza Firdous, shared in a video that his mother had sought ‘khula’ from his father, mentioning that family relations had been strained for some time. This statement sparked widespread discussion, leading to assumptions about the actor’s marital status.
Jamal addressed these statements with clarity, emphasizing that he values peace and family unity, especially at his current stage in life. “I’m at an age where family and tranquility mean everything to me. My children are all grown up, and I am a grandfather now. Why would I want to get divorced?” he reasoned.
He further shared that while he chooses to live separately for his own peace, he maintains close contact with his sons, who understand and respect his decision. Jamal’s perspective aligns with his previous statements about seeking solitude after a demanding career and being diagnosed with cancer. Reflecting on a lifetime in the limelight, he conveyed a desire to enjoy a quieter life now, free from public and personal upheaval.
Firdous Jamal’s distinguished career spans numerous roles in television dramas and films, establishing him as a highly respected figure in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
