Shami’s daughter currently lives with her mother Hasin Jahan in Kolkata. The couple married in 2014 and welcomed Aaira a year later. However, their relationship turned sour after Jahan made serious allegations against Shami in 2018, including claims of domestic abuse and match-fixing. Since then, the two have lived separately.
Shami had earlier shared a video of the two shopping at a mall after being apart for a long time. In the video, he captioned, “Time stood still when I saw her again after a long time. Love you more than words can say, Bebo.”
High Court Orders Monthly Maintenance of Rs 4 Lakh
The Calcutta High Court recently directed Mohammed Shami to pay a total of Rs 4 lakh per month as maintenance. Of this, Rs 1.5 lakh will go to Hasin Jahan and Rs 2.5 lakh to their daughter, according to the reports. Jahan had originally requested Rs 10 lakh monthly maintenance, seeking Rs 7 lakh for herself and Rs 3 lakh for her daughter. The lower court had dismissed her plea, but the recent high court ruling granted partial relief.
Speaking to PTI, Jahan said, “The maintenance amount is decided based on the husband’s income and social status. As per a strict Supreme Court directive, a husband is required to provide his wife and children the same lavish lifestyle he enjoys. So, considering Shami Ahmed’s luxurious lifestyle, I believe Rs 4 lakh is too little. We had initially demanded Rs 10 lakh, and that too seven years and four months ago. With inflation now, we will pursue a revision. This order is a big victory for me.”
