Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Shaikh were granted divorce in 2021.
Aamir Ali feels Sanjeeda Shaikh may have been with a demotivating partner post divorce with him. He also refers to their relationship as ‘an old story’.
Former spouses Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Shaikh have once again hit the headlines. In a recent interview, the Heeramandi actor seemingly spoke about the time after her divorce with Aamir. Sanjeeda’s statement about partners who are ‘demotivating’ grabbed a lot of eyeballs and even though she refused to take any names, the internet began speculating that she referred to Aamir as someone who demotivated her.
Not the one to be talking about his personal life or relationship with Sanjeeda anymore, Aamir finally reacts to her statement. When News18 Showsha reached out to Aamir to address the same, he exclusively told us to take these things with a pinch of salt. “Not everything that she and I say about one another is about us. We have not been together for nearly five years now. She must have gone through something like that in that period, I guess,” he said.
The actor, who was recently seen in the web series Lootere, added that he went through a lot of lows during the time when they had separated but he doesn’t believe in talking about them in public. “Ours is an old story now which is over. I know what I went through in that separation period and what happened to me. But washing dirty linen in public is not my class. I’ve never put anyone down and I never will, especially who I have shared a relationship with,” he stated.
For the unversed, Sanjeeda in a recent chat with Hauterrfly, said, “There are men, and there are partners who try to demotivate you, who tell you that you can’t do anything. Or they will say you will not be able to do this. It’s better to be away from such people.” She added, “There are phases in every relationship where you are happy, and then there are some when you are not, and then you take a call for your life and that’s what I did for myself, because I started loving myself and I started prioritising myself and that is very, very important.”
Aamir and Sanjeeda used to be one of television’s most loved couples. They first met on the sets of the television show Kya Dil Mein Hai and reportedly, there was an instant spark. They dated for several years before tying the knot in 2012. In 2018, they welcomed a daughter through surrogacy. The couple separated two years later in 2020 and was granted divorce in 2021. Following the divorce proceedings, Sanjeeda won their daughter’s custody. In 2022, Aamir had revealed that he hasn’t been allowed to meet their daughter for about ten months.
