Pakistani singer, Komal Rizvi appeared on a talk show and revealed why her six-year-long marriage ended.
The Lambi Judaai singer shared, “I have a strong backing and by that, I mean a lot of supporters such as my brother and parents who have helped me through this journey.”
She went on, “It doesn’t matter if you’re independent, strong or even educated when you encounter a mentally ill person who you are destined to spend rest of your life with. I was married for six years where I found myself to be helpless. I was physically abused and went to bed on an empty stomach for months because I didn’t have allowance to even eat.”
Rizvi said she was in Oman and couldn’t work due to many reasons. “I was living for four years with him and the only way I could do something for myself was to give tuitions to earn. Later, I learnt how to cook and that became the way for me to earn. I would sell my food at stores in order to survive an abusive marriage.”
Rizvi recalled the time when physical abuse started, “The first time he hit me with a soda bottle and pushed me. I developed a bruise around my eye and when my parents noticed it they immediately wanted me to come back home.”
Rizvi concluded, “If your partner is supportive and great, then life will be heavenly. But if your partner is problematic, then your life is worse than hell.”
