Remember this actress who played Salman Khan's wife? Fell in love on a movie set, got married, then suddenly disappeared, her name is...
In 90s, actress Sheeba Sabir rose to fame with her power-packed performances in films like Miss 420, Sanam Teri Kasam, and Pyar Ka Rog. She also portrayed Salman Khan's wife in fantasy horror film titled Suryavanshi. While the 1992 film tanked at the box office, Sheeba got her dues. Apart from her glorious career in films, she also made an impactful television career with shows like Kutumb, Karishma-The Miracles Of Destiny, Haasil and few others.
In 1996, Sheeba got married to her Pyar Ka Rog director Akashdeep Singh. They first met on the sets of Sheeba's film, Miss 420 , and soon their friendship blossomed into love. Reminiscing about their early stages of relationship, Sheeba recalled in an interview with BollywoodShaadis.
'We became good friends, but it was only later when we went to Goa for shooting the film, Miss 420 that the flame of love was ignited. I was attracted by his sense of humour and easy-going nature. I was apprehensive in the beginning. It upset me when people on the sets talked about us. However, I realised that as long as it did not affect my work, it was nobody's business to interfere with my life.' Sheeba said.
After their wholesome wedding, the two flew off to Australia for their Honeymoon. Sharing the most happy and memorable moments of their life, Sheeba recalled, 'My parents did not oppose our relationship, as they believed in me. They trusted that I would never get into a relationship with my eyes closed. The fact that both were Punjabis made things easier. After seven months of courtship, we got married on November 27, 1996. We booked three floors of Hotel Horizon in Mumbai for an entire week. Both our families stayed in the hotel, itself. Besides the wedding we had all the other ceremonies like the sangeet, the haldi and the cocktail party at the hotel. Both the families bonded so well that it was difficult to recognise who belonged to the bride's family and who belonged to the groom's. We went to the Gold coast in Australia as backpackers for our honeymoon.'
After few years of marriage, the couple embraced parenthood by welcoming two boys- Hriday and Bhavishya. Sheeba collaborated with her husband post-marriage in the television serial Karishma-The Miracles Of Destiny. Praising Akashdeep for not being a typical male chauvinist, she said, 'We understand the pressures of work as we both belong to the same profession. In the glamour industry, you have to make an extra effort to understand the demands of work and the erratic timings. You have to be mature and tolerant. Akash is quite mature. Not only does he understand the pressures of my job, but he also takes care of the home and children when I am working in a double shift.'
After captivating audiences with her stellar performances in 90s, Sheeba returned to the limelight with her compelling performance in Alia Bhatt's Jigra. She also made a cameo appearance in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Khaani. Along with acting, Sheeba also co-produces films and shows, with her husband, Akashdeep.
