Senior actress Javaria Abbasi has confirmed her recent marriage, following an earlier ambiguous post that hinted at her union. She revealed on a morning show that she and her husband tied the knot three months ago.
During the program, Abbasi discussed her extensive showbiz career and her close friendship with actor Shahood Alvi. Regarding her marriage, she shared that she is now happily living with her husband, who is a businessman unrelated to the entertainment industry.
Abbasi mentioned that their married life is going smoothly and credited her daughter, Anzaila Abbasi, for encouraging her to take this step. She also highlighted the support she received from her family and close friend Shahood Alvi.
The actress explained that she had delayed getting married due to her responsibilities, including caring for her ill parents and supporting her unmarried siblings, including actress Anushe Abbasi.
The relationship between Javaria Abbasi and her husband developed gradually after they first met at an event. Although he proposed earlier, she initially hesitated due to her commitments.
Abbasi drew inspiration from veteran actresses Bushra Ansari and Samina Ahmed, who also married later in life. She mentioned that conversations with Bushra Ansari further motivated her to make this decision.
Despite facing criticism on social media for marrying later in life, Abbasi received substantial support from her fans who defended her choice. In May, she subtly announced her marriage with a photo from the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Javaria Abbasi’s first marriage to actor Shimoun Abbasi ended in divorce in 2007. They were married in 1997 and had a daughter, Anzaila Abbasi, two years later. Following their separation, Shimoun Abbasi remarried subsequently.
