Talking about her separation from her childhood sweetheart, Mahira had once told the same publication, "When you are going through it, it is very painful. You are sitting in a room, and you feel the walls are closing in on you. You feel anxious and you don’t know what it is. I think that is more painful than when you make a decision.” However, after she decided what she wanted in life, she became stronger. “I knew that I would take my child but I knew that I didn’t want to be dependent on anyone, not even my parents. When there was nobody with me, I had my work. It was a huge support".

"I think I couldn’t balance my marriage and my mother’s deteriorating health. I realised it was unfair to my husband to have my divided attention. I understood he deserved better and should go for that. He deserved the attention of a partner, not another headache and I didn’t want to share my time with anyone else but my mother. So when I finally gave up, I had a sense of relief," Sanam had said.
3) Adnan Sami-Zeba Bakhtiar
Pakistani singer Adnan Sami married Zeba Bakhtiar in 1993 at the age of 22. He was not a famous name at that time, so their relationship did not receive much attention. They were blessed with a son named Azaan in 1994. However, after 2 years, they fought for custody of their son.

During an interview with Aamna Haider Isani, Zeba had revealed her month-long custody fight for her child. "I lost my mind. I was functioning because that coping mechanism comes from somewhere, but I was not all there. I have big patches which I don't remember. It was very difficult. But I am thankful I got back with Azaan. It was 18 months of this custody battle. I wasn't working during that time, but a few friends of mine told me to work for my own sanity," she had said.
