ODHRAN — Dania Shah, the widow of late TV host Aamir Liaquat Hussain, has confirmed her second marriage in a video released on Tuesday. The announcement comes in response to widespread speculation and controversy surrounding her previous marriage and subsequent legal issues.
Dania Shah gained public attention in 2022 when Aamir Liaquat Hussain, a prominent televangelist, announced their marriage. The couple’s union quickly became a focal point of media scrutiny and public debate. The controversy intensified after Liaquat’s death under mysterious circumstances later that year. Dania was subsequently arrested over indecent videos linked to the case, which were allegedly leaked before Liaquat’s passing.
Dr. Bushra Iqbal, Liaquat’s first wife, along with her children, pursued legal action against Dania. In 2023, Dania was indicted for her involvement in the video scandal and was released on bail after posting a surety bond of Rs2 million. This legal battle added to the public’s perception of Dania’s marriage to Liaquat as problematic.
In her latest video, Dania addressed ongoing skepticism regarding her marital status. She revealed that she has recently married a man named Shehzad, confirming the news in a bid to dispel doubts and criticisms about her previous union. Dania disclosed that she married Shehzad a few months ago and expressed her reasons for remarrying.
“There were so many problems in my life, and I needed a mehram, a man who could support me everywhere,” Dania explained in the video. She elaborated that Shehzad’s marriage proposal came at a time when she was seeking stability and support, prompting her to make a well-considered decision to marry him.
Shehzad, in a separate video statement, addressed the critics who had dismissed his marriage to Dania as insincere. He emphasized that the confirmation of their marriage was a response to those who had mocked their union. “The people who have been calling my marriage with Dania Shah ‘a joke,’ you can now see and confirm this with her yourselves,” he stated.
Shehzad further shared his perspective on the importance of marriage and respect. He encouraged others to follow a path of genuine commitment rather than engaging in fleeting relationships. “I have made marriage easier and explained that you all should not indulge yourselves in love affairs, instead be [real] men, marry and give respect to someone,” he added.
The confirmation of Dania’s second marriage comes at a time when her personal life has been under intense public scrutiny. The combination of her previous legal troubles, the tragic death of her first husband, and the subsequent controversy has kept her in the media spotlight. Dania’s latest move aims to set the record straight and put an end to the speculation about her personal life.
Despite her efforts to clarify her current status, Dania Shah’s life remains a subject of considerable public interest and media coverage. Her statements and actions reflect her attempt to navigate the complex and often challenging landscape of public scrutiny while seeking personal stability and respect.
