Zeba Bakhtiar discusses her disastrous marriage to Adnan Sami, saying "I lost my mind."


The veteran talked extensively about her personal life in the most recent interview with a local YouTube channel, including the 18-month court case she had to win custody of her son Azaan Sami Khan from her ex-husband.

"I had just finished shooting a few movies when I got married to Adnan. I didn't want to carry on acting at that point. I desired to write and possibly produce. I wasn't really involved in acting," Bakhtiar recalled.

Then I married Adnan, and when Azaan was born, I completely invested in it, she continued. But after the marriage failed, I began working on productions and other things.

Zeba Bakhtiar and musician Adnan Sami had a contentious divorce. 


The veteran continued, "I lost my mind. Further pondering on the difficult custody battle that took a toll on my mental health. I was able to operate because of that coping strategy, but I wasn't fully present. I have large patches of hair that I can't place. It was quite challenging.

"However, I'm grateful that I returned with Azaan. This dispute for custody lasted 18 months.

"At the time, I wasn't working, but a few of my friends advised me to do so for the sake of my own sanity, and I joined a friend's series in England. For that, I spent a few months in London," Bakhtiar explained.
