After years of silence, Bollywood actor Sohail Khan has finally addressed his divorce from Seema Sajdeh, opening up about the reasons behind their split after 24 years of marriage. In a candid chat with ETimes, Sohail revealed that constant clashes had taken a toll on their relationship.
“I have lived 24 years with Seema. She is a beautiful girl, and somewhere, some things didn’t work out. But that doesn’t change the equation Seema and I have. She’s a lovely person and a very caring mother. It is always decided that once a year, as a family, we take our kids out for a holiday and enjoy ourselves. We will just be individual parents and have a great time,” the actor shared.
The Maine Dil Tujhko Diya star added that their decision was driven by concern for their sons, Nirvan and Yohan. “When the husband and wife start fighting, it only affects the children. The ego that the husband and wife have,they don’t realise that it affects the children, and then the children start getting disturbed. So they are spoiling the next generation. They are corrupting the next generation, and not just their lives. Then your children will grow up to be disturbed human beings. That is what me and Seema decided—that we didn’t want that,” he said.
Sohail and Seema married in 1998 after a whirlwind romance, defying family and religious differences. They tied the knot in an Arya Samaj wedding, followed by a nikaah and court marriage to honour both traditions. The couple officially parted ways in 2022, ending a marriage that lasted over two decades. While Seema has spoken about the split on Netflix’s Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, this marks Sohail’s first public statement on the subject.
