Veteran Pakistani actor Jamal Shah has expressed regret over his divorce from former actress Feryal Gohar, recalling their past relationship and the reasons behind their separation.
Speaking during a recent appearance on a private TV show, Jamal Shah responded to various questions from the host, including which broken relationship had affected him the most. In reply, the actor said his first marriage to Feryal Gohar was a love marriage and the couple was widely admired at the time.
He explained that after their marriage, he realised that their personalities and outlook on life were very different. “I later discovered that I had more traditional views, while Feryal was very independent,” he said, adding that these differences gradually created difficulties in their relationship.
Shah said that initially he felt the marriage might not work, and eventually both decided to part ways as continuing the relationship became increasingly difficult.
The topic resurfaced recently when Jamal Shah and Feryal Gohar appeared together in a private TV channel’s Ramadan transmission. During the programme, Feryal Gohar remarked that marrying Jamal Shah had been “a wrong decision” in her life.
Once considered one of the showbiz industry’s most admired couples, Jamal Shah and Feryal Gohar eventually separated in 1992.
