Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Shaikh were once one of the most loved couples of the television industry. The duo, who got married in 2012, separated in 2020. Sanjeeda recently made a statement about demotivating partners during an interview that grabbed attention. Now Aamir Ali has reacted to that comment in a recent interview with News18. Aamir clarified that the two have been separated for several years, suggesting that Sanjeeda's comments might reflect experiences she had during their time apart.
What Aamir said
Aamir stated, “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. 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.”
What Sanjeeda said
In an earlier interview with Hauterrfly, Sanjeeda shared her thoughts on toxic relationships, saying, "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. 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.”
Sanjeeda also reflected on her personal growth, stating, “I feel I am very lucky (to have emerged from) whatever happened with me. Maybe I felt then that I was the most depressed person, or I was very sad, or, ‘What is happening with me, what is happening with my life?’ But to overcome all of that, to think like that and to be happy with this version of myself, I am blessed."
