Syeda Tuba says she did not marry Aamir Liaquat for fame, money

Tuba came under intense social media criticism after the news of the second marriage of Aamir Liaquat Hussain went viral on social media.

The former wife of Aamir Liaquat Hussain, Syeda Tuba, says she did not marry Aamir Liaquat Hussain for fame or money.

Tuba opened up about being the second wife of later televangelist Aamir Liaquat and being called a ‘home wrecker’ and ‘gold digger’. She also talked about how she dealt with it after being blamed for the death of Hussain. She said it was overwhelming for her to handle all this.

“I was getting into a relationship but I never thought about it from the public’s point of view. I was very young, and even naive, at that time and I didn’t have the right kind of exposure. I wasn’t ready for all the chaos. I didn’t even announce the news, it was leaked,” she said. “We wanted to announce the news. Not that it was a secret, but whoever gets married, it should be their decision to determine when to tell people. We were both not ready.”

Tuba came under intense social media criticism after the news of the second marriage of Aamir Liaquat Hussain went viral on social media. “When it all started, I was baffled and couldn’t make sense of why people are hating me so much. I couldn’t process the abuse that I was getting. It became so worse that at one point, I started getting death threats and rape threats. Men, women, everyone was just picking on anything and everything,” she said adding that the abuse wasn’t just limited online but also offline by “people she was associated with.”

Tuba says she even received rape threats and abuse on social media. She added that one should not pity themselves but grow by telling themselves that they are defined by the negative traits people associate with them. “Everything I am today, I have worked hard for it and I won’t let people tell me otherwise,” she said.
