LAHORE — Having concealed the fact for about two years, film actress Saima has ultimately disclosed that she has married her mentor — writer and director Syed Noor.
She told reporters here that the wedding had taken place a couple of years ago (July 24, 2005), but was not announced for professional reasons. However, she said, valima ceremony would be organised in the near future.
The couple has been a subject of media speculations for the last many years, and rumour mongers have been claiming they were married.
To a question, Saima said it would not be shocking for Noor’s wife Rukhsana for she already knew everything since our marriage took place two years ago. “Our relationship would be a good one,” she hoped.
When asked was there any special reason for disclosing the wedlock now, she claimed there was no urgency and she just thought it appropriate to make the relationship public.
Saima further said she was under no pressure to disclose the marriage. To another query, she said she had a strong belief in Noor that he would never deceive her.
Noor’s wife Rukhsana, when asked to comment, said: “Ask her (Saima) who seeks popularity.” She said she had not seen any statement by Syed Noor himself and it was only Saima who was issuing such statements. She said that she had not talked to Noor on the issue.
