Azfar Ali is a prominent Pakistani host, actor, and producer, widely recognized for hit drama projects such as Sab Set Hai, Shahrukh Ki Saliyaan, and Ab Bajaey Gi Shehnai. Beyond his acting career, he hosted the popular Azfar Mani Show and is credited with introducing star host Tabish Hashmi to mainstream media. Alongside his professional journey, Azfar’s personal life has often drawn public attention. He was initially married to actress Salma Hassan before entering a high-profile second marriage with Humsafar fame Naveen Waqar, though that relationship ultimately ended in divorce.
Recently, during an appearance on Nadia Khan’s show Rise and Shine, Azfar publicly announced his third marriage and shared pictures with his fans for the first time.
Opening up about this new chapter, Azfar revealed:
“I haven’t shared this on camera before, but I’ve actually been married for a while now. I tied the knot for the third time in October last year, and it has been a wonderful experience. It was an arranged marriage to Rida-e-Zehra, organized by my sisters after they continuously nudged me to settle down, as I wasn’t initially interested. She was living in Dubai at the time, working as an HR head, but I requested that she relocate to Pakistan first since moving to Dubai wasn’t feasible for me. We communicated for about six months before getting married in October 2025.
I’ve evolved a lot as a person over time—it’s been 12 years since my second divorce, and life experiences have made me much more grounded and humble. I view relationships through a completely different lens now. I don’t force expectations onto my wife, and while I used to be entirely career-focused, my priority today is nurturing my personal life.”
