Insights into Ismail’s Second Marriage

Ismail revealed that he was separated from his first wife, Farzana, when he met Ayesha. Upon being asked about his sons’ reactions to his new relationship, he praised their maturity. He noted that his separation from Farzana resulted from incompatibility rather than conflict.

In response to allegations of infidelity, Ismail recounted his proposal to Ayesha: “After an argument with Farzana, I called Ayesha for a drive. After about an hour, I stopped the car and asked her to marry me, and she said yes. I had begun to develop feelings for her, as she appreciated my work and we bonded through long conversations.”

He further acknowledged Ayesha’s sacrifice, stating she left her burgeoning career in the entertainment industry to focus on their family. “She dresses me even today, ties my shoelaces, and my sons, Awez and Zaid, lovingly call her ‘Ayesha mummy.’ They deeply respect her for how she raised their half-brother, Imaan,” he added.
