Speaking about her marriage on the show, Siddique revealed that her husband had not seen any of her dramas before and it was something which stood him apart and she liked. “It was a love-cum-arrange marriage,” she told the host.
The actor also revealed that she met her husband via her sister-in-law, who was also a host on PTV and hence they crossed paths a few times. “Our personalities just clicked as he was a very different, intellectual type of person who had just returned from the USA after completing his PhD,” Siddique detailed.
