My son needs his father: Emaan Rajab's tearful appeal strikes a chord online
Emaan Rajab, wife of Rajab Butt has sparked widespread discussion after breaking down in tears during an emotional live session, where she made a heartfelt appeal for the well-being of her son, Kivan.
Addressing the ongoing public dispute surrounding her separation from YouTuber Rajab Butt, Emaan urged both families to put their differences aside and resolve the matter privately. Fighting back tears, she said her greatest wish is for Kivan to grow up with the love, care, and presence of both his parents.
Speaking directly to her followers, Emaan said the constant rumours, accusations, and discussions on social media had taken a serious toll on her mental health. She explained that from the very beginning, her only goal had been to save her family, not for herself, but for her son.
According to Emaan, she never wanted Kivan to suffer because of mistakes or conflicts between adults.
She said she had remained silent for a long time because she did not want her family's private matters to become a public spectacle. Even now, she added, her only intention is to stop the ongoing controversy and prevent further humiliation of both families on social media.
She appealed to everyone involved to sit together respectfully and resolve the matter through dialogue instead of allowing outside opinions to make the situation worse.
During the emotional live session, Emaan said many false stories were being circulated online that had no connection to reality. She claimed that repeated public statements and personal attacks were only creating more misunderstandings and causing additional pain for everyone involved.
Speaking about her son, Kivan, Emaan became visibly emotional and described him as the greatest blessing in her life. She said she works hard to provide him with everything he needs but believes there is one thing no mother can replace a father's love.
According to Emaan, Kivan deserves to grow up with both parents in his life, receiving his father's affection, care, guidance, and support.
Addressing Rajab Butt directly, Emaan said she had never stopped him from meeting their son. She stated that she had repeatedly informed him through messages and other means that he was welcome to meet Kivan whenever he wished.
She also rejected allegations that he had been harassed during his visits, describing those claims as completely false. Referring to reports that he arrived with security guards and friends, she questioned how such visits could be described as harassment.
Emaan also denied claims that she had wanted to live separately from a joint family. She explained that she herself was raised in a joint family and had never demanded a separate household. She further said she had always respected Rajab's parents as her own and had never behaved disrespectfully toward them.
Reflecting on her marriage, Emaan said she had spent only a short period living with her husband. Despite the limited time they shared together, she said she always stood by him during difficult moments, including when he was abroad.
She claimed that many of the problems which later surfaced were unrelated to her and insisted she had always tried to protect the relationship rather than damage it.
Emaan also addressed the bouquet she had sent to Rajab, explaining that it was a personal gesture and not something she had intended to publicize. She said she only spoke about it after fan pages incorrectly suggested it had come from someone else.
According to her, many of her efforts to improve the situation had gone unnoticed despite her attempts to keep family matters private.
Without revealing specific details, Emaan said she had information that could affect people's reputations but deliberately chose not to make it public. She explained that exposing private matters would go against her values, adding that she believes people should protect one another's dignity instead of exposing personal issues for public attention.
Emaan also explained why she had publicly shared the divorce documents, saying she did so only after repeated calls and messages to Rajab allegedly went unanswered.
According to her, she felt she had no other option. However, she stressed that she was not seeking sympathy and remained focused on raising her son with peace of mind.
Concluding her emotional appeal, Emaan once again requested that both families resolve their differences privately and stop involving social media.She urged followers not to spread hate against either family and warned that she would pursue legal action against anyone who continued spreading false allegations or violating her privacy.
Ending her message with a heartfelt prayer, she expressed hope that every daughter is blessed with a happy home and protected from those who try to destroy families.
Emaan's live session came shortly after Rajab Butt publicly dismissed rumours of reconciliation. During a TikTok Live, Rajab said their divorce was final and clarified that a bouquet sent by Emaan's family should not be interpreted as a sign that they were getting back together. While maintaining that reconciliation was no longer possible, he also stated that he would continue fulfilling all of his legal and parental responsibilities toward their son, Kivan.
