In a recent interview on Madiha Naqvi’s morning show, actress Maham Amir shared an interesting and surprising story about how she was asked to marry actor Faizan Shaikh by his mother. Maham explained that only a few months after they had met and exchanged greetings, Faizan Shaikh’s mother, well-known actress Parveen Akbar, jokingly asked her to marry Faizan Shaikh in front of everyone at a party.
During the show, Maham Amir and Faizan Shaikh talked about their lives and how becoming parents has changed them. They said that after having their daughter, they’ve learned to be more patient and to see things differently. Faizan Shaikh also shared how his mother once told him that daughters belong to other families, which made him feel like his heart was being taken out. He added that when Maham recently joked about finding a future husband for their daughter, he felt as if a part of him was being taken away, even though their daughter is only two and a half years old.
Maham Amir also talked about her close relationship with her mother-in-law, Parveen Akbar. She said that they got to know each other while working in the theatre. At first, Maham called her Parveen Apa, but now she calls her just Parveen.
Maham Amir recalled the funny moment when she went to a birthday party to greet a director, and Faizan Shaikh’s mother, Parveen, was also there. In front of everyone, Parveen jokingly asked her to marry Faizan. Maham Amir replied with a laugh, saying Parveen should ask Faizan Shaikh if he wanted to marry her. Parveen confidently told her, You agree first, I’ll handle my son!
Maham Amir and Faizan Shaikh got married in August 2018 and are known as a loving couple. They welcomed their first daughter in December 2021 and have shared how becoming parents has strengthened their bond.
