Following the recent criticism for Mohsin Abbas Haider’s abusive behavior towards his wife, actress Humaima Malick took to Instagram to share her own ordeal after years of keeping mum about it.
“I am shameful of myself today. I didn’t do anything for myself 3 years of abusive marriage, 7 years of another abusive relationship and it repeated again,†shared the actress on her Instagram story.
“While I was working making a good life for myself and my entire family, I was threatened, abused, and beaten to death not once but many times. I am not scared anymore. I am now shameful of silence,” wrote Humaima, who had previously been married to actor/director Shamoon Abbasi.
Humaima’s close friend and producer of The Legend of Maula Jatt, Ammara Hikmat, vouched for Humaima, saying that she had witnessed her struggle and was proud of her.
