The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed Indian fast bowler Mohammad Shami to pay ₹4 lakh per month as maintenance to his wife Hasin Jahan and their daughter during the ongoing legal dispute.
Sports News: The story of Indian cricketer Mohammad Shami and his wife Hasin Jahan seems straight out of a film script. There was a time when their love was held up as an example, but today this relationship has taken the form of hatred and a legal battle. Recently, the Calcutta High Court ordered Shami to pay ₹4 lakh per month as maintenance, including ₹1.5 lakh for Hasin Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh for the upbringing of their daughter Aaira.
Hasin and Shami's First Meeting
Hasin and Shami met in 2012 during an IPL match, when Hasin was working as a cheerleader for the Kolkata Knight Riders. It is said that Shami fell for her at first sight. They became friends, then their love blossomed, and after about two years of dating, they got married on June 6, 2014, in a five-star hotel in Murabad. Not many people attended this wedding, but their relationship was much talked about. After the marriage, Hasin Jahan left her career in modeling and cheerleading and was seen with Shami's family and on his tours.
This couple's happy picture shattered when, in 2018, Hasin leveled serious allegations against Shami, including domestic violence, mental and physical harassment, and even match-fixing.
When Did the Rift Begin in Hasin and Shami's Relationship?
In March 2018, Hasin filed an FIR against Shami and his family at the Jadavpur police station, in which she accused them of neglecting their minor daughter and assaulting her. These allegations had also shocked cricket fans, as Shami's name was always taken as a hardworking and disciplined player.
Hasin had told the court that her monthly expenses were around ₹6.5 lakh, while Shami's annual income was more than ₹7.5 crore. Therefore, Shami should pay a large sum for her and their daughter's care. In response, Shami also made several serious points. He claimed that Hasin Jahan had hidden the fact of her first marriage from him. According to Shami, this was Hasin's second marriage and she also had two daughters from her first marriage. Shami said that Hasin had introduced these daughters as her sister's daughters, but in reality, they were her own children.
Hasin's first husband, Saifuddin, had told the media that they were married in 2002 and divorced in 2010. Saifuddin said that Hasin wanted to do modeling and make her own identity since childhood, but her in-laws did not allow women to work, so they separated.
Amid these controversies, Shami alleged that Hasin was putting pressure on him only for money and that it was all a conspiracy. However, after analyzing the financial documents, the court ruled that Shami's financial condition was good and that he was in a position to provide better maintenance to Hasin and their daughter.
Shami to Pay Maintenance
Earlier, the district court had ordered Shami to pay ₹80,000 per month for his daughter and ₹50,000 for his wife, but Hasin called it insufficient and approached the High Court. Now the High Court has issued a new order to pay ₹4 lakh per month. Despite all this, Shami made a brilliant comeback in his professional life. Recovering from injuries and controversies, he re-established his place in Team India, but this fight in his personal life has not yet subsided.
The story of Shami and Hasin teaches us that despite being a public figure, there are ups and downs in personal relationships, and when the dispute reaches the court, the picture of a perfect couple can also completely shatter.
The beginning of this love story was as cinematic as its end seems bitter. It will be interesting to see when this case in court will be over and what the outcome will be. For now, the fight between Hasin Jahan and Shami has once again created a stir on social media and in the news, and many questions have also been raised about the future of their daughter Aaira.
