LAHORE:
Humaira Arshad may have ruled out the possibility of reuniting with husband Ahmad Butt, but he seems to be looking forward to reconciliation. After the two went public, levelling allegations against each other amid the possibility of a split, Butt told The Express Tribune, “Family and close friends from both sides are making efforts for a patch-up.”
Citing how he wishes to resolve the impending issues for his son, he said, “I’m willing to withdraw my case and compromise just for the sake of our child’s future.” He added, “We briefed our elders about our differences and despite our differences, I want to be on good terms with Humaira because I can’t see my child suffering.”
The actor said he’s hopeful that things will fall back into place. “I haven’t seen Humaira since the press conference … didn’t even meet her … but I’m hopeful that friends, who want to see us united again, will play their role and will be successful.” He went on to say, “Although I appeared in court with regard to our case, I feel this will all end well and we’ll start a new life together. Soon, I’ll give good news to you all because I can see that things moving in a positive direction.”
But Arshad doesn’t seem as hopeful as her estranged partner. Denying Butt’s claims, the singer said, “I don’t feel we will reunite as no such development has taken place yet. It’s true that some elders are making their efforts for a possible reunion, but nothing has materialized so far.” She added, “I can’t disclose or make any comment on whether I want to continue with this relationship, as I’ve left it to my elders. They will decide it.”
While Butt had accused Arshad of property fraud, among other thing, Arshad alleged Butt used to beat her up in public. She also disclosed that she had been running domestic affairs all by herself, being the sole breadwinner of the family, adding that Butt used to take money from her instead of extending financial support to her and her son.
