Behroze Sabzwari is a renowned Pakistani actor, beloved for his powerful roles in iconic dramas such as Khuda Ki Basti, Tanhayan, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, and Humsafar.
His iconic characters, like Nosha and Qabacha, have etched him as one of the most respected figures in the entertainment industry. With his impeccable acting skills, Sabzwari has built a career spanning decades, constantly earning accolades for his performances.
His opinions on societal issues are as vocal as his career, never shying away from expressing his views.
Recently, Sabzwari appeared on Madeha Naqvi’s morning show, Subh Ka Samaa, along with his wife Safeena Sheikh. The topic of the increasing divorce rates was raised, with the host mentioning how these separations have become painful for parents. She posed the question to the couple, seeking their perspective on the matter.
While Safeena Sheikh responded diplomatically, emphasizing miscommunication and differences in expectations as the main causes behind misunderstandings leading to divorce, Behroze Sabzwari took a more direct approach. He boldly claimed that the rising divorce rate is a result of girls being overly pampered by their families.
“I attend elaborate wedding events with a budget of 20 crores, yet they don’t last even a few months or days. The situation in marriages nowadays has changed. Parents pamper their daughters excessively, telling them, ‘Don’t worry, live like a queen; we’ve spent ten crores on your wedding,’” he remarked sarcastically.
According to Sabzwari, this overindulgence leads to an inflated sense of entitlement. He pointed out that these young women, who are treated like royalty by their parents, often carry the belief that they can make all the decisions once they marry.
He further explained, “As a result, she starts seeing herself as a queen who makes all the decisions. However, no matter how modern her husband is, he is ultimately the son of his parents. The parents of girls and girls are responsible for divorces.” Hmm...yikes! Is this truly the only reason?
This sharp observation left many to ponder if familial expectations are at the root of many failed marriages. Safina, on the other hand, expressed the importance of simplicity, advocating for simple Nikah ceremonies over extravagant weddings to avoid unnecessary pressures.
Sabzwari also remarked that many young people today are choosing love marriages or what he refers to as "infatuation," only to realize that the reality of married life is quite different once the honeymoon phase is over.
It’s important to note that Behroze Sabzwari’s son, Shehroze Sabzwari, also a well-known actor in Pakistan, was previously married to actress Syra Yousuf.
Their marriage lasted for eight years, and they share a daughter together. Shehroze is now married to model Sadaf Kanwal, which naturally adds a layer of intrigue to the conversation.
Some may wonder whether there’s an underlying connection between Behroze’s strong statements on divorce and his son’s own relationship history.
Is there some shade being thrown here?
