Controversy
Sadaf Kanwal and her husband Shehroz Sabzwari have come under nationwide criticism for their marriage. Shehroz and Syra Yousuf parted ways earlier this year. Then Shehroz’s second marriage with model Sadaf Kanwal raised many questions on him. People have been calling him a cheater, disloyal, and whatnot. Similarly, his new wife Sadaf is also facing severe backlash for allegedly ruining Syra’s married life.
Shehroz also made a clarification through a video message that she didn’t cheat on Syra. He added he never wanted to divorce Syra but circumstances made it impossible for them to continue together. He also stated that the reason for his divorce with Syra was never Sadaf but some very ‘personal’ reason.
He said the people who were accusing him of infidelity should come and prove it. Shehroz in his very aggressive tone also challenged people to not accuse him of something he didn’t do. However, his statement didn’t hold back his haters from constant abuse.
After facing criticism from social media users for marrying, the newlyweds recently worked together on a festive Eid telefilm called Ghar Ke Na Ghat Ke. The short film supposed to be a light-hearted comedy, completely backfired!
While the couple wished to soften up people towards them, their attempt at fixing their image only blew up in their faces. In addition to this, the audience did not only pan the telefilm but also trolled both of them. Sadaf and Shahroz got criticism for their over-the-top acting and mediocre performances.
Ever since the photos of their nikkah ceremony surfaced on the Internet, the newlywed couple became a hot topic on social media. People took it to Twitter, expressing their strong disapproval.
It was evident the problem is not that Shehroz and Sadaf got married. The problem is they misled their fans in the first place which is why the public continues to stay angry with them and does not like them at all.
Most of the people continue to hold the grudge and are not over how Shahroz left Syra for Kanwal. Many continue to refer to Kanwal as the ‘homewrecker’ and whatnot. She has been a target of incessant trolling for a while now.
In October 2020, the renowned model uploaded pictures on her Instagram stories with red and grey hair. And people could not keep their cool and started to bash her. In one picture she was spotted with blonde hair and in another one, she had red hair.
Unfortunately for Sadaf, she was bashed for her looks by some viewers on social media.
It is evident that she does have to face some criticism. However, the fact can’t be denied that she is a successful actress.
