Zarina Wahab and Aditya Pancholi, married for over 30 years, have faced challenges in their relationship. They met on the sets of Kalank Ka Tika, and despite Zarina being six years older and her mother’s opposition, they followed their hearts and married in 1986.
Despite the public controversies, Zarina Wahab revealed in a recent interview with Lehren Retro that she was always aware of Aditya’s affairs but chose not to confront him. She explained that she focused on how he treated her at home and avoided questioning him, as she felt it would make him less accountable. She was prepared for his extramarital relationships.
When asked about the accusations made by his former girlfriends, Pooja Bedi and Kangana Ranaut, Zarina defended her husband, saying that he has never been abusive. She described him as a “sweetheart” and jokingly added that she might be the one to beat him. Zarina believes his ex-girlfriends made these accusations because they didn’t get what they wanted from him.
The veteran actress later discussed Kangana, who she mentioned had dated her husband for four and a half years. She shared that she was always kind to Kangana, who frequently visited their home, and that her husband was very nice to her. Zarina expressed that while she couldn’t pinpoint what went wrong, she could see something that he couldn’t, and eventually, things unfolded as they did.
Despite the controversies and affairs, Zarina described Aditya as a “great husband and father.” She praised him for his support, saying he never stopped her from pursuing anything, whether it was acting in films or traveling. She emphasized that he always allowed her to follow her passions.
