After Finding Love At 49, Sohail Khan's Ex-Wife Seema Sajdeh Says, "Infidelity Is Not A Deal-Breaker"
Sohail Khan's ex-wife and fashion designer Seema Sajdeh rose to fame after she featured in the Netflix reality series Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. During a recent conversation with Filmfare, Seema Sajdeh opened up about her equation with current boyfriend Vikram Ahuja, whom she was engaged to before she eloped with Sohail Khan in 1998. Seema also said that infidelity is not a deal-breaker for her in a marriage.
What's Happening
Seema and Sohail called it quits after 24 years of their marriage in 2022. While she never discussed the reason behind her separation, she said she can't tolerate "disrespect" in a relationship.
Asked if infidelity was a reason, she explained, "I am not condoning infidelity but people do slip. It all depends on the situation and how you navigate through that phase and what you learn from it. Personally, I wouldn't regard infidelity as a deal-breaker, especially when you have children. Their stability comes before yours. Nevertheless, people separate and get divorced for various reasons. I am no one to judge."
Speaking about her "companionship" with Vikram, Seema said, "I have known Vikram since I was 13. We grew up together. Getting engaged was natural as we'd been seeing each other for so long. Eventually, our paths deviated because we were too young. Today, it's more of a solid friendship, a companionship that we enjoy. At this age, it's not the butterflies in your stomach feeling. Rather it's a sense of stability that I look for, something that will stay for the long run."
Asked if marriage is on the cards, Seema shared, "I am going to be 49 soon. I have two children. My partner has two children. He's got a life. I have a life. And we both have a life together. When you are together without expecting anything, it's beautiful. I am not dependent on Vikram for anything. He's not dependent on me either. So being together is a conscious choice we have made without the pressure of getting married. We are comfortable and secure with each other. A piece of paper is not going to change that."
Seema's Family Life
Seema and Sohail got divorced in 2022. They are parents to two sons, Nirvaan and Yohaan. After their divorce, they continue to co-parent their sons. They were seen on family vacations after parting ways.
In A Nutshell
Seema Sajdeh said that she doesn't feel pressure to get married to her current boyfriend Vikram Ahuja, whom she was engaged to before getting married to Sohail.

Parineeta director Pradeep Sarkar didn't talk to Vidya Balan for years, died before they could sort out differences: ‘I called him every day'
Director Pradeep Sarkar's Parineeta is widely regarded as one of the best Hindi films of this century. The director paid fitting tribute to the source material while giving Vidya Balan an introduction that many would dream of, and a soundtrack worth being talked about all these years later. In a recent interview, the actor talked about the struggles she faced on the road to her debut and how her relationship with the director, Pradeep Sarkar, or Dada, changed over the years. Talking to Filmfare about falling for false promises, Vidya shared the story of how she met Pradeep and said, 'The start of my career was quite rocky, and I couldn't land a role. One day a journalist came to my house and told me that he was willing to publish a fake story saying that I have been signed by some big banners, which will help break the jinx, but I said no. I was this jinxed actor even before becoming an actor. So after all these films, which never happened, I met Pradeep during an ad film. Then I worked with Dada (Pradeep) on a music video for Euphoria. We shot the video, and everything was great, but suddenly I heard that the music video might not get released. Now I definitely thought I was jinxed, but then it somehow got fixed, and the song came out.' ALSO READ: Vidya Balan supports Deepika Padukone for flexible working hours, says she works 12 hours because she's not a mom: 'I have all the time in the world' Vidya admitted that she missed Pradeep immensely and regrets the fact that he isn't here to see the kind of love a film like Parineeta still gets. She said, 'I went to the 20th anniversary of Parineeta, and I spoke to Mr Chopra (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) and to Dada's wife. It's unbelievable that he is not there anymore. He believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. I remember that Mr Chopra had told me to get a surgery for my nose, and I got so scared. I came home and called Dada and asked him to save me because I didn't want to change anything. He told people on the sets of Parineeta, 'If Vidya works, then this film will work.'' The Kahaani actor recalled how the relationship between the two of them changed when she refused to work on a film with him and how much she wishes she could talk to Pradeep now and tell him how indebted she feels towards him. 'He was definitely miffed with me for saying no to Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. He didn't speak to me for 2 to 3 years. I think he felt that whatever the film was, I should have had faith in him, that he would make something out of it. For some reason that story never resonated with me, and I found the story a bit dated. Saying no to Dada was very tough, and I used to call him every day to know how he was. It's so sad that someone who I feel so much gratitude towards, I didn't manage to keep in touch with. I felt misunderstood, and someone told me that 'don't let gratitude become a noose.' But when he passed away, I was so broken. I wanted to tell him that whatever I am is because of Parineeta.' Vidya got emotional and concluded that she wishes she could have made everything alright with Pradeep before he passed away. She even revealed that she had planned to go to his office the day she got the news of his death. But before she could, she got word that he had passed away.
