‘Bohat mushkil tha’: Syra Yousuf makes blasting revelations about divorce, betrayal and industry’s bombardment

Actor Syra Yousuf has opened up about her widely speculated divorce with Shahroz Sabzwari, media’s wide and insensitive coverage of the issue and how she battled with that phase in a recent interview.

The Mera Naseeb diva spoke about how her personal life was sensationalised across the board, with her divorce being highlighted in the media repeatedly, Syra shared, “I don’t feel betrayed because I didn’t expect much. But I do find it very insensitive because where you are recycling a story and making connections again and again for the sake of likes and numbers, it’s very important for you to understand that someone else is actually living through what you are constantly talking about.” 

She elaborated further, “For me, it was my life in real-time, and I was experiencing it already, and that kind of bombardment from the industry, I feel like it was insensitive. Personal lives should stay personal, and if you do end up finding something out from some source, there’s a way to put it out there.” 

Speaking about how, initially, the media storm made her feel vulnerable, the Project Ghazi star added, “I felt very exposed. I just kept wondering when people would stop talking about it so that I could process it on my own.”

However, the actor explained how she found light at the end of the tunnel, sharing, “I feel like in shutting out the outside world, I had the opportunity to go inwards. So, sometimes uncomfortable situations can actually help you end up in a better place.” 

Syra and Shahroz tied the knot in 2012 after a long on-off relationship which began in 2006. The celebrity couple separated in late 2019 and later confirmed their divorce in February 2020. The very same year later, Shahroz tied the knot with model Sadaf Kanwal.

On the work front, Syra is currently starring seen in ARY’s Sinf-e-Aahan, written by Umera Ahmed and helmed by Nadeem Baig.
