Music composer Ismail Darbar has two wives, Farzana and Ayesha. His second wife, Ayesha, was originally a Hindu named Preeti. However, to marry Ismail, Preeti embraced Islam.
In a recent interview with Vicky Lalwani, Ismail addressed whether his second wife was forced to convert to Islam. He stated, “She converted because she wanted to. There was no pressure from my side.”
Denying allegations of infidelity, Ismail shared, “After an argument with Farzana, I called Ayesha, and we went for a drive. After an hour, I stopped the car and asked her to marry me. She said yes. To be honest, I had started developing feelings for her. She admired my work and became attached to me after our long conversations.”
He also revealed how Ayesha left the glamour industry for him and took care of the family. “She dresses me even today, she ties my shoelaces. She left her glamour career behind for our children,” Darbar said.
Ismail spoke about how his kids reacted to his second marriage, saying, “They understood the situation and never judged me. I’m proud of how they’ve handled everything.”
### Ismail Darbar Faces Social Media Backlash
Meanwhile, the music composer is facing criticism on social media for his statements about his daughter-in-law, Gauahar Khan. During the same interview, he remarked,
“I come from a backward family. We used to turn away whenever a sensuous type of scene came in a movie. This happens in our house even today. Gauahar is a part of our family now, and we are responsible for her reputation. But I can’t tell her not to work; that right belongs only to Zaid. So, I don’t indulge in activities that might bother me.”
He further added, “I’m not one to mince my words. I know that I will not be able to tolerate what I see, and if I am not able to tolerate what I see, I will confront them.”
These comments have sparked debate and backlash, with many expressing their opinions on the composer’s views and family dynamics.
