Sohail Khan recently made headlines after a video of him dining with a mystery woman on Monday (September 9) sparked speculation about whether he has found love again after parting ways with Seema Sajdeh. Notably, the dating rumor was fuelled by a paparazzi account, which suggested that Khan was seen on a dinner date with his girlfriend. Now, the actor broke his silence regarding this in an interview.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sohail Khan addressed the viral video of him dining with a mystery woman who started a dating rumor. However, dismissing the rumors, Sohail said, “No, it is not true. I am only answering you because you had the decency to question before assuming things. She is just an old friend of mine.”
The actor was earlier married to fashion designer Seema Sajdeh. However, the duo filed for divorce in 2022 after 24 years of marriage. They share two kids, Nirvaan and Yohan.
Seema later opened up on her life after her divorce as she appeared on Karan Johar’s show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. She shared that she still has a cordial equation with Sohail.
In an earlier interview with Shivani Pau, she said that she has no hard feelings for Sohail. “Why should I blame him? It suited both of us. Our son Nirvan was at that age where he didn’t want it but there came a time when I had to choose between my marriage and my son," Seema said.
She also added that his son was going down a path that he was very scared of and one morning she woke up and realized that either she focused all her energies on saving this marriage, or her son. "That’s when I decided and chose him,” she had said.
Seema had revealed that although the divorce was filed only in 2022, she and Sohail had been separated for quite a few years and did not live together. She said she only filed for divorce when her son Nirvan told her, “Mumma I am okay now, you can go ahead.
