Bollywood actors Zarina Wahab and Aditya Pancholi got married back in 1986, despite there being a six-year age gap between them. Since Zarina was elder to Aditya, her mother didn’t quite support her decision, but she listened to her heart and tied the knot anyway. Their marriage of over three decades has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, especially because of the multiple extramarital affairs of Aditya.
Aditya Pancholi’s affairs with Pooja Bedi and Kangana Ranaut
Reports of Aditya and Pooja Bedi’s affair were making headlines back in 1993 and apparently the duo was quite open about their relationship as well. However, things turned bitter when Aditya was accused of sexual abuse by Pooja’s (then teenaged) maid, leading to Pooja filing an FIR against Aditya.
11 years later, Aditya’s name was linked with Kangana Ranaut in 2004. Several media outlets reported the duo to be dating at the time. However, their relationship later got embroiled in a lot of controversies and public spats when Kangana accused Aditya of physically abusing her. Aditya retorted by alleging that Kangana had financially abused him. Kangana went on to file an FIR against him, alleging that he raped her when she was new to the film industry. Aditya retaliated by claiming that her lawyer had threatened to file a rape case against him.
‘I was always aware of Nirmal’s affairs’
In a recent interview with Lehren Retro, Zarina opened up about the extramarital affairs of her husband and made some explosive statements that have now gone viral. Referring to Aditya by his real name, Nirmal, Zarina said that she was always aware of his affairs but she never asked him any questions. “I only cared about how he treated me when he was home,” she told the digital channel and added that she ignored asking him anything as she thought it would make him even more fearless. “I was completely prepared for him to have affairs,” she said.
‘He has never been an abusive husband’
Commenting on the accusations of abuse by Pooja and Kangana, Zarina came to Aditya’s defense and said that he’s never been an abusive husband and that he’s a “sweetheart”. “Ulta main maar du use (Instead, I may end up hitting him),” she said adding that his girlfriends made those allegations because “they didn’t get what they wanted.”
‘Kangana often visited my home’
Talking about Kangana’s relationship with Aditya, she told the channel that he was always very nice to her, so she doesn’t know what went wrong between the two. She also revealed that Kangana often visited her home and that she was always nice to her as well. She added that even then she could see what Aditya couldn’t and “eventually that happened.” She added, “I just thought time would tell, and I didn’t want to say anything.”
