KARACHI: Over the years, Feroze Khan has come to be known to take up extremely problematic characters in dramas. Violent, aggressive and very unlikable. However, no one expected that the same characteristics would end up translating into his real persona. That is until Feroze Khan was accused of domestic abuse by his now ex-wife Aliza Sultan. The details are harrowing, to say the least.
It began with a statement put out by Sultan which claimed, “Our marriage of four years was an utter chaos. In addition to continuous physical and psychological violence during this period, I had to endure infidelity, blackmail and degradation at my husband’s hands.” She also wrote, “The welfare and wellbeing of my children have played a significant role in this decision.”
