Veena Malik Reveals Domestic Violence Is The Reason For Her Divorce
| |||
Saturday, 18th March 2017, 9:40 PM IST Just a few days ago, Veena Malik shocked everyone by suddenly declaring that she is seeking divorce from her husband of three years. The mother of two recently declared in an interview that her husband would abuse and beat her up often, and hence she decided to separate from him to safeguard herself and her kids. Veena recalled, “It actually started from the day we got married. Uske pehle sab kuch suhana tha. Ours was an arranged marriage. My father selected Assad, and I was more than happy to go by my father’s decision. Assad was successful, handsome, loving and caring. Everything changed once we got married. I was looking at a different man, and a completely different life from what I had imagined for myself after marriage.” She continued, “Assad told me I couldn’t go out of the house on my own. He told me I had to do all the housework including the cooking and cleaning. It was always my dream to settle down one day and run my own house. So I willingly accepted his demands.” But it got worse, as Veena says, “He would shout at me and abuse me for no reason at all. I thought things would be better between us once we had a child. So I was very happy when I was pregnant with my son Abram. To my horror and shock my husband said he didn’t want the child. Since I refused to abort he had no choice. And we had our son Abram. Soon my daughter Amal was also born. But it changed nothing in his attitude. He got worse.” The physical violence also started. “No man would understand what a woman feels when she is assaulted. I bore with it hoping he would improve. It isn’t as if he’d get drunk to be abusive. He doesn’t drink. That’s the scary part. He was naturally abusive. And as my son grew older he became a horrified witness to his mother’s abuse. I had to leave for the sake of my children and for my own sake.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first BoxOffice mobile app from here – Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp | |||
