Is Aisamul Haq single again?
The news of tennis star Aisamul Haq separating ways with Faha Akmal made the rounds on major television networks Sunday. The pair had tied the knot in December last year and were said to have had a rocky union thus far.
Sources revealed that Haq has signed divorce papers and sent them to Faha Akmal in London.
Aisamul Haq’s father Ehtishamul Haq has denied the divorce proceedings over a text message and admonished the media for the “scandalous broadcast of such personal matters.”
Interestingly, Faha has confirmed the divorce. Communicating through Facebook, she writes: “I respect Ehtishaam Uncle, but he is wrong about the divorce. Aisam and I are not happy with each other, and Aisam has already signed the divorce papers”.
In yet another comment she talks about their embittered marriage, “Aisam has a very busy life. He plays tennis for 38 weeks in a year. He never gave me enough time or treated me as a wife.”
Faha elaborates that there were many misunderstandings between her and Aisam, particularly in the last two months.
The decision to dissolve the marriage is quite mutual since they are both “done with each other”.
She explains that the contrast between her stance and that of her father-in-law arises because their “families don’t want to reveal the issue.”
Aisam and Faha were engaged for some six months before their marriage. After the wedding, Faha flew back to London after spending some two months at Aisam’s residence in Lahore.
Since then, Aisam has been visiting her in London from time to time.
Faha’s facebook page, however, still has her wedding photograph with Aisam as her background picture.

lets pray for both for good news
Lol ! Lets face it aisam ul haq is no federer or djokovic who play tennis round the year but yet mrs federer is seen at all matches and never complains if this is faha's reason its laughable sportsmen allover the world have gruelling training regimes and seasons to endure for 9 months a year yet there wives all stick to them and get on with it ! There is more to it then meets the eye ! But she made it public when she took it to her public page on facebook not much need of privacy at thia horrible time more like needing publicity !
people really need to do their own business and stop meddling in other people affairs .we dont know any facts .so stop taking sides .
I don't understand why the media is publicizing and unfolding a story when it is really a personal issue between a couple rather two families. I think we should let them decide their fate and resolve their issues. My simple question to all of our readers and above commentators is that if they were in place of Aisam and Faha, would they like to be discussed openly in media if such would have happened in their life?
This must be very painful for the both of them.
The people crying over their privacy were drooling when the whole Pakistan media was live broadcasting their wedding. The media should broad cast their divorce proceedings as well, please respect the right of the media to invade privacy just as they did on their wedding day.
@Ch. Allah Dad Aisam-ul-Haq is actually fancied by girls in Pakistan? Who are those girls?
And the Fb account is fake. It's stupid to use it as a news source.
Mr. Allah Daad.... that's really none of your business. Be respective of other people's personal lives. It would serve you well in life...
ET, leave them alone for God's sake!
Very Sad!
A sad news. Both of them should respect each other and should not indulge in public accusations.
It is surprising that Faha is denying her father in law to whom she respect most, and seems in hurry to declare that marriage has dissolved. Putting news on media may give worst comments and worst results.
Leave them ALONE! Its a private matter. Stop scandalizaing everything!! Stupid media!!!!
i really dont understand why are we infringing on his privacy? so what if even he is getting a dvorce? isnt it quite common here? i really dnt feel just cause someone is famous the media has a right to go knocknig into their private matters!! we have many pressing issues at hand rather than the fact if someone is single or not!!
The facebook page of her cannot be confirmed if its authentic. Using that as a source of information is really stupid of our media
Faha, You are an eductated, modern British girl. You knew his sports engagements and busy life before marriage. Please tell us the real reason.. As a celebrity and one of the most famous Pakistani star, Aisam is very popular amongst Pakistani girls. Single once again, many girls would be willing to marry him. Do you want to ruin one more life? Therefore you must tell us the real story. Is he violent, abusive, greedy, or.....or...? Your truth will save a life..
Celebrities usually lead non traditional lifestyles (unusual working hours/demands) and generally won't be compatible with those who lead more traditional lifestyles (stay at home or 9-5 jobs). This is the down side of having a non-traditional career or any career with out of norm working hours. I have observed that the divorce rate is much higher when at least one individual in the marriage leads a nontraditional career or has a career that doesn't allow for more of a balanced life.
I think it's very sad and the media should leave the couple alone and respect their privacy. Separation and divorce are very extreme steps taken by any couple and are very hard to deal with . There can never be a one single reason for it so let just not judge them and wish them the best for their future.
