Pakistani actress and Tamasha Season 2 winner Aruba Mirza has shared details of one of the most painful experiences of her personal life. She revealed that she discovered her former fiancé had married another woman after their seven-year relationship.
Aruba discussed the emotional experience during an appearance on Mazaaqrat, hosted by Imran Ashraf. While discussing betrayal, she became emotional and recalled how unexpectedly her relationship came to an end.
Aruba Mirza Recalls Seven-Year Relationship
Aruba said she had been with her former partner for seven years. Marriage had also been part of their plans, making the eventual betrayal even more difficult.
She explained that people close to them knew about their plans to marry. Therefore, she had no reason to suspect that their relationship was about to end.
According to Aruba, her former partner told her that he was travelling to Islamabad for family-related reasons. Meanwhile, she remained busy with a professional shoot.
She continued working normally and did not suspect anything unusual. However, everything changed when a friend contacted her during the shoot.
Actress Discovers Ex-Fiancé’s Nikah
Aruba recalled receiving a message from a friend asking her to look at some pictures. When she opened them, she discovered something deeply upsetting.
The pictures showed her former partner’s Nikah with another woman.
The revelation left Aruba devastated. She recalled breaking down and crying while she was still on set.
People around her became concerned after seeing her emotional reaction. However, she struggled to explain the actual reason behind her tears.
When her makeup artist asked why she was crying, Aruba said she could not reveal the truth at that moment. Eventually, someone on the set reportedly gave an excuse that her grandmother had died.
Aruba Describes the Pain of Betrayal
Looking back, Aruba said the emotional shock was difficult to conceal. She had invested seven years in the relationship and expected it to lead to marriage.
Instead, she suddenly had to face the reality that her former partner had married someone else. The unexpected revelation left her struggling to process what had happened.
Aruba also spoke about betrayal beyond romantic relationships. She explained that betrayal can come from both friends and partners.
The actress described herself as someone who has experienced betrayal from both sides. She also acknowledged the lasting emotional effect such experiences can create.
“Living Corpse” Describes Severe Heartbreak
During the conversation, Aruba used the phrase “living corpse” to describe the feeling of extreme heartbreak.
Her description reflected how someone can continue their daily routine while feeling emotionally empty. A person may still work, meet people and fulfil responsibilities despite carrying intense personal pain.
For Aruba, this experience was particularly difficult because she had to continue working in the public eye. Even after receiving devastating personal news, she still had to remain around colleagues and complete her professional commitments.
Time and Friendship Helped Aruba Heal
Despite the painful experience, Aruba said life continues after heartbreak. She acknowledged that healing takes time and does not happen immediately.
She also credited friendship with helping her cope and gradually move forward. Support from close friends, along with time, helped her recover from the emotional impact of the betrayal.
The actress’s comments have since drawn attention on social media. Many viewers expressed sympathy for her and appreciated her openness about such a difficult chapter.
Aruba Mirza’s Acting Career
Aruba Mirza has appeared in several popular Pakistani dramas during her acting career. Her television credits include Shahrukh Ki Saliyan, Rang Mahal and Intiqam.
She gained wider recognition after winning Tamasha Season 2 in 2023. Since then, she has continued to remain active in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
Her recent comments have offered audiences a more personal look at the experiences behind her public career. They also highlight how emotional struggles can remain hidden even when someone continues working and appearing on screen.
