Dilip Kumar’s second wife Asma Rehman moved to Canada after divorce, said no one knew about her ‘private’ conversations with star

Asma was asked about her move to Canada and why she left India and she expressed that she moved because of her family but also because she wanted to get away from the media. “Firstly, I wanted to move here because I have family here. Secondly, it was because of the media which was hounding me. I just wanted to get away from it but I just can’t,” she said.

Asma claimed that 95 percent of whatever was written about her and Dilip Kumar was fabricated and had no truth to it. “People write whatever they want, they just want to fill up the space,” she said and added, “95 percent of the things that were written about me were false.” Asma insisted that no one knew about the conversations between her and Dilip but people had “wild imagination.” “Conversations that take place between two people, which are personal and private in nature, how can anyone know about them? But these people’s imagination is just so wild that they just make up stories,” she said.

In his memoir, Dilip Kumar had confessed to getting married to Asma without informing his first wife Saira. “I can never forget or forgive myself for the hurt I caused to Saira and the shattering of the unshakeable faith she had in me,” he wrote as he recalled that incident. He divorced Asma eventually and got back with Saira. “Saira stood by me when I admitted the grave mistake and asked her to give me some time to undo the wrong through proper legal processes and restore the sanctity of our marriage of sixteen years. I requested Saira to give me some time to sort it all out,” he said.

Dilip and Saira stayed married till his death in 2021.
