Pakistani actor Agha Ali has opened up about his divorce from actress Hina Altaf, sharing the reasons behind their separation and his thoughts on future relationships in a recent TV appearance.

Speaking on a private TV talk show, Ali discussed his decision to marry Hina, explaining that it was influenced by the global uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“When I married Hina Altaf, it was a completely different experience and a different time. At that time, everyone was thinking the world might end soon, and we made the decision to marry because of that mindset,” he revealed.

Ali said that at the time of marriage, Hina was well aware of his values, preferences, and ethics. “I chose to enter into relationship like marriage because she knew me well, and I believed it was the right step,” he added.

Reflecting on the challenges in relationships, Ali stated that maintaining a marriage requires effort from both partners. "For me, marrying Hina was never a difficult decision, but relationships can’t work if only one person is trying. Both individuals must play their part,” he said.

He also commented on why many marriages fail, stating, "I believe marriages fail because people start taking their partners for granted."

Discussing his divorce, Ali confirmed that he had been separated from Altaf for over a year and that their divorce was finalised more than 18 months ago.

He emphasised that he did not wish to speak extensively about the divorce, adding, “The other person is not here, and they are no longer a part of my life. In my opinion, every story is different, and what happened with us was destined. That’s why we chose to part ways amicably.”

When asked about his future, Ali shared that he was not ready for a new relationship just yet. “I believe I need to become a better person first,” he said. "I don’t want to rush into another relationship; I need time to learn and grow. I am not mentally prepared for marriage right now."
