Veteran Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh recently opened up about the challenges his children faced following his two divorces. Renowned for his stellar career in both Pakistani television and Bollywood, Sheikh has always been a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
Despite his fame, he has been transparent about his personal life, particularly his struggles with relationships. In a candid conversation, Sheikh discussed his two marriages-first with Zeenat Mangi and later with Salma Aagha. Both marriages lasted around three years and ended in divorce, which, according to him, was a painful experience. The actor shared that the breakdown of his relationships deeply affected his children, Shahzad Sheikh and Momal Sheikh, who were young at the time. The separation disrupted their lives and caused them considerable distress.
However, Sheikh expressed no regrets about his role as a father. He reflected on the moments when he was there for his children, particularly when it came to supporting them through significant life events like their education and weddings.
He mentioned that despite the turbulence in his personal life, he made sure to provide for his children and be present for them during important milestones. This, he said, has given him peace of mind, knowing that he was able to fulfill his duties as a father. In the end, Sheikh feels grateful for being able to offer stability and guidance to his children, despite the challenges he faced in his own relationships.
