Bushra Ansari is a well-known actress in the Pakistani drama industry, famous for her powerful performances in many shows. However, she made headlines not just for her work but also for her personal life when she revealed that she had divorced her husband after 36 years of marriage. She later remarried but kept her relationship with her new husband, Iqbal Hussain, very private. Let’s look back at when Bushra Ansari spoke about her divorce and separation from her ex-husband.
In an interview with Desi TV, Bushra, known for her role in “Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum,” was asked if divorce should be more accepted in society. She explained, “After 36 years of marriage, I decided to end it. I had the right to divorce, which my father had ensured for me, so I could choose to divorce whenever I wanted. I wasn’t divorced by someone; I chose to give the divorce.”
Bushra also shared that by the time she and her ex-husband realized they had compatibility issues, their children were still young and attending school. She pointed out that today’s couples have more time to figure out if they are compatible, as many choose not to start a family for 5-6 years after getting married.
However, Bushra also expressed a different perspective on this. She said, “If people keep delaying having children to focus on testing their relationship’s compatibility, then no family will ever grow.”
Finally, Bushra mentioned that once her children were grown and living their own lives, she decided to give herself a new chance at happiness. This led to her decision to separate from her ex-husband, Iqbal Ansari, and they divorced after 36 years of marriage.
