In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, there is a lot that happens that meets the eye. Behind the picture-perfect life of an artist, there are often turbulent interpersonal relationships, complex dynamics that are overshadowed by the glamour. However, being a public figure, actors are always under high scrutiny, especially with the new age media where even an Instagram engagement becomes the headline. One such story is of an actress whose name started rising because of her work, however, it was her personal life that actually gained more attention from the audience.

The person we are talking about is no other than Zeba Bakhtiar. She is a Pakistani actress who captivated millions with her role in the film Henna, which came out in 1991.  Starring opposite Rishi Kapoor, this film was produced and directed by Raj Kapoor’s son, Randhir Kapoor. With this performance of hers, she quickly rose to fame and became a fan favorite; however, her Bollywood career didn’t last long. Zeba did a few more Hindi films, but they didn’t quite hit the mark, and eventually, she returned to Pakistan.

Zeba went back to her home country and became a popular star there. She resumed working in the film and TV industry there, eventually making her one of the most respected stars in Pakistan.

Besides Zeba’s successful career, it was her personal life that made headlines. Zeba was born in Quetta, and she is the daughter of a former Attorney General of Pakistan, late Yahya Bakhtiar. She was raised in Quetta and later moved to Karachi, where her acting career started.

However, it was her married life that was quite eventful. Zeba was married four times. First, she got married in 1982 to Salman Waliyani, a man from Quetta. They also have a daughter, but their relationship didn’t last for long, and they got divorced eventually.

Her second marriage was in 1989 with the famous Bollywood actor and comedian, Javed Jaffrey, which created a lot of buzz. Initially Zeba also denied the marriage but Javed Jaffrey exposed their marriage certificate, confirming their marriage. Their marriage was also short lived and ended up in a divorce within a year

In 1993, the Pakistani actress got married to Pakistani singer Adnan Sami for the third time. Their union also attracted significant attention. The couple even starred together in the Pakistani film called  Sargam, but their relationship ended in divorce in 1997. They had a son, Azaan Sami Khan, who is now a well-known figure himself. After their split, both parents fought for custody, eventually agreeing to co-parent. Azaan is now married and has children, making Zeba a proud grandmother.

Finally, in 2008, Zeba married Sohail Khan Leghari, marking her fourth marriage. Sohail and Zeba are happily married now and in a steady marriage.

Today, Zeba Bakhtiar continues to act in Pakistani television, enjoying both her professional life and family time as a grandmother.
