‘Wish he were as good a husband, father as he is a player’: Mohd Shami’s wife
Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan have been engaged in a bitter legal battle after she filed a police complaint accusing Shami of adultery and domestic abuse.
Cricketer Mohammed Shami is in red-hot form in the ongoing ODI World Cup, taking 23 wickets so far. While Shami is proving his worth in the Indian cricket team, his estranged wife Hasin Jahan wished if he “was as good a person as he is a player”.
Shami separated from his wife in 2018 after the latter accused him of domestic violence and adultery.
“If he were also a good person, as good a player as he is, we could have led a good life. My daughter, my husband, and I could have led a happy life if he were a good person. And it would be even more a matter of respect and honour if he were not only a good player but also a good husband and a good father,” said the cricketer’s estranged wife.
Hasin Jahan continued, “But due to Shami's mistakes, due to greed, and due to his dirty mind, the three of us have to face the consequences. However, he is trying to hide his negative points through money.”
When asked if she felt special when Shami broke records with his seven-wicket haul against New Zealand in the semi-final match, Hasin Jahan said, “I don't feel anything special. But it feels good that India has won the semi-final match. I pray that India wins the final as well."
She also spoke about the proposal that Shami got from actress-turned-politician Payal Ghosh.
“These things keep happening to celebrities. It’s normal. I don’t want to comment on it,” she said.
Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan have been engaged in a bitter legal battle after she filed a police complaint accusing Shami of adultery and domestic abuse. Following the complaint, Shami was slapped with non-bailable charges of domestic abuse and attempt to murder.
Hasin Jahan claimed that the cricketer and his family tortured her whenever they went to his hometown in Uttar Pradesh.
However, Shami always denied Hasin Jahan’s claims, saying it was a conspiracy to defame him.
In September this year, before the World Cup began, Shami appeared before a local court in Kolkata and got bail in the domestic violence case filed by Hasin Jahan in 2018.
