Key facts
- Sohail Khan said he 'wasn't in the right frame of mind' during the divorce
- He was married to Seema Sajdeh before the separation
- Both are co-parents to their children
Sohail Khan has broken his silence on his divorce from Seema Sajdeh, saying he was not in the right frame of mind when the separation took place. The actor, who has maintained a relatively low profile on the subject, made the admission in an interview reported by The Indian Express — a moment of unusual candour from a member of the Khan family.
The divorce between Sohail and Seema, who later took back the surname Sajdeh, played out in the public eye over recent years. Seema has spoken about the relationship and its end in several prior interviews, making Sohail's willingness to now address it directly something of a departure from his usual reticence.
By framing his mental state as a key factor, Sohail opens a window into the personal difficulties that often underlie the polished surface of celebrity marriages. His phrasing — that he was not in the right frame of mind — does not assign blame but instead acknowledges a period of personal struggle, a more reflective tone than audiences have seen from him previously.
The couple share children and have continued to co-parent following the split. Sohail's remarks are likely to be discussed widely, given the sustained public interest in the circumstances of the divorce and how each party has navigated life since.
