These days we see the talented singer, Komal Rizvi, doing wonders on screen with her new on-screen role in Tana Bana. She plays phopho to Zain (Danyal Zafar) and is receiving good reviews for her performance. The actor, singer, and entrepreneur recently appeared on GMP’s Shan e Suhoor where she shared details of her first marriage and how horrific it had been.
Komal Rizvi was tortured and abused
Komal stressed the fact that no girl should ever withstand violence. Despite having a very strong background and support from her parents, she tried to mend ways with her first husband who would torture her endlessly.
“He once spilt coke over my head and punched me due to which my eye was all black. My parents got a hint that something was wrong and told me to leave him but I refused.”
“I was an educated, sane girl but I still withstood the torture because there is an expectation from women that they have to compromise. Although my parents never asked me to make any such compromise I always felt an obligation which was so wrong.”

Komal said that after coming out of the abusive marriage she realized that it is pivotal for girls to be financially independent and for that they need to learn skills.
“I always go to vocational training centres and encourage young girls to learn skills, be it cooking, stitching or anything, they should learn to earn,” said Komal.

Despite setbacks, Komal now feels she is on the right track and is very happy living with her family. Shoaib Malik also made an appearance on the same show and talked about his marriage with Sania Mirza that was nothing short of a roller coaster.
