After their recent public appearance together sparked reunion rumours on social media, fashion designer Seema Sajdeh has finally addressed her relationship with former husband and actor-producer Sohail Khan.
The former couple, who ended their 24-year marriage in 2022, were recently seen attending a wedding function together in Pune. Their appearance immediately grabbed attention online, with many fans speculating that the two might have reconciled.
Seema Says Divorce Does Not Mean Becoming Enemies
Reacting to the rumours, Seema clarified that despite their divorce, she and Sohail continue to share a strong family bond because of their children.
Speaking openly about their equation, Seema said that people often assume divorced couples automatically become enemies, which is not always true. She explained that Sohail will always remain an important part of her life as he is the father of their two sons.
“We were married, we have two children together, and he is the father of my kids. We will always remain a family. That is the reality of my life,” Seema reportedly shared.
She also mentioned that divorce is never easy and that maintaining mutual respect is important, especially when children are involved.
“We Will Always Be a Family”
Seema further added that whether they agree on everything or not, they are still connected as a family. She expressed surprise over how quickly people assume that seeing them together means they are getting back together.
According to her, co-parenting and maintaining a healthy relationship after separation should not be viewed as unusual.
The statement has received mixed reactions online, with many social media users appreciating the maturity both Seema and Sohail have shown after their separation.
Seema and Sohail’s Love Story
Seema Sajdeh and Sohail Khan got married in 1998 after reportedly eloping against their family’s wishes. Seema comes from a Punjabi family based in Delhi, and her family was initially against her entering the film industry and marrying someone from a different religion.
Despite the opposition, Seema chose to follow her heart. Reports suggest that the couple got married late at night after calling a cleric to solemnize their marriage.
Over the years, the two became one of Bollywood’s well-known couples and later welcomed two sons, Yohan and Nirvaan Khan.
Divorce in 2022 Shocked Fans
News of their separation in 2022 came as a surprise to many fans and members of the film industry. Reports at the time suggested that personal and ideological differences led to the end of their marriage.
However, even after their divorce, both Sohail and Seema have continued to maintain a cordial relationship and are often seen together during family occasions and events involving their children.
Their recent statements and appearances prove that while marriages may end, family bonds can still remain strong.
