Popular Pakistani host and actor Azfar Ali has opened up about his third marriage, sharing details publicly for the first time. Known for hosting the famous “Azfar Mani Show” and for dramas like Sab Set Hai and Shahrukh Ki Saliyaan, Azfar recently appeared as a guest on Nadia Khan’s show “Rise and Shine,” where he spoke about his personal life and shared pictures from his wedding.
Azfar explained that he got married last October in what was an arranged match. He said his sisters had been encouraging him to remarry for a while, even though he wasn’t initially keen on the idea. Eventually, his sister introduced him to Rida-e-Zehra, who was working as an HR head in Dubai at the time. Azfar asked her to relocate to Pakistan before marriage, since he wasn’t comfortable settling abroad. The two spoke for about six months before getting married in October 2025.
Reflecting on his journey, Azfar shared that time and experience have changed him a lot since his second divorce, which happened 12 years ago. He said he now approaches relationships with more patience and humility, and no longer puts pressure on his partner the way he may have in the past. He also mentioned shifting his focus from just career success to building a more balanced personal life.
Azfar was previously married to Salma Hassan, and later to actress Naveen Naqvi, known for her role in Humsafar. Both marriages ended in divorce before he found happiness the third time around.
