Pakistani actress and former supermodel Zainab Qayyum recently shared some emotional and eye-opening details about her personal life during a web show. She revealed that her marriage ended just 10 months after it began.
Zainab said she got married in 2010 and later moved to Dubai and then London with her husband. She shared that she always believed her marriage would last forever. “I used to think I would stay with my husband for life, that even my funeral would be from his home, and my children would stand up for me if anyone ever wronged me,” she said. “But despite all that, my husband divorced me.”
The actress admitted that the divorce left her heartbroken and confused. “I kept thinking how, after having such a successful career, I couldn’t make my marriage work,” she said.
Zainab further explained that her husband felt they were not compatible. “He thought we just didn’t match. I’m actually thankful he ended things himself,” she added. “I gave my best to the marriage, so I have no regrets.”
Zainab Qayyum was one of the top supermodels in Pakistan’s fashion industry before she transitioned into acting. Today, she’s known for playing strong, mature female roles in Pakistani dramas.
It’s worth noting that Zainab also won the Lux Style Award for Best Model of the Year in 2004, a testament to her incredible career in modeling before making her mark on television.
