Fiza Ali recalls rejecting suitors who refused to accept her ‘daughter’
Pakistani actress, television host, and media personality Fiza Ali has candidly reflected on her life after divorce, revealing that while she was open to remarrying, every serious proposal came with one condition she could never accept, leaving her daughter behind. Her heartfelt remarks have earned widespread praise from fans, who applauded her unwavering commitment to motherhood and healthy co-parenting.
During her latest television appearance, Fiza shared that she never intended to remain single after her separation from former husband Fawad Farooq. Instead, she seriously considered remarriage and even got engaged at one point.
"I never decided that I wouldn't marry again after Fawad," she explained. "I received many proposals, and there was even a time when my engagement was finalized. But whenever things moved forward, I would eventually receive a sign that it wasn't the right decision."
Fiza revealed that the biggest obstacle was the attitude many prospective families had toward her daughter, Faral. According to the actress, several families insisted that after marriage, her daughter should live with her biological father instead of becoming part of their new household.
Recalling those conversations, Fiza said she firmly rejected such expectations.
"They would tell me that once I got married, I should leave my daughter with her father because she was his responsibility. My answer was always the same I would never sacrifice my daughter for anyone. If someone cannot accept my child, then I cannot accept them."
She added that she never hid her past from her current husband, Ejaz, and was completely transparent about the proposals and engagements that had taken place before their marriage.
The actress also spoke warmly about her relationship with her former husband, emphasizing that divorce should never come at the expense of a child's emotional well-being.
"Divorce happens between husband and wife not between parents and their child."
Fiza shared that she even prepared Faral to attend her father's wedding and personally congratulated Fawad on his new chapter in life. She credited both parents for ensuring their daughter was never exposed to conflict or emotional distress.
Speaking about her current husband, she noted that Ejaz also understands the importance of responsible parenting because he has experienced similar circumstances in his own life.
"He is a responsible father as well. In a marriage there are two people, but when children are involved, both parents must remain present in their lives. That has always been my belief, and thankfully it is his too. We never allowed our child to grow up in depression. Life moves on."
Fiza's honest reflections resonated strongly with viewers, many of whom praised her maturity and parenting approach.
One user commented, "Such a positive message. Divorce doesn't mean a child should be taught to hate either parent."
Another wrote, "She is protecting her daughter while also respecting her husband's previous family. This is what emotional maturity looks like."
A third remarked, "After watching this, I'm genuinely impressed. Whatever people may think, she's clearly a devoted mother."
Another fan added, "Faral is such a confident and positive child, and the credit goes to Fiza for raising her with love and balance."
