It all began when rumors surfaced that Sanjeeda had cheated on Aamir with actor Harshvardhan Rane. The whispers grew louder when, after their divorce, Sanjeeda was spotted sharing vacation pictures from the same locations as Harshvardhan. The backgrounds matched, the jeep was the same, and their posts were just too similar to ignore. While both denied the rumors directly, their vague responses only fueled speculation that an extra-marital affair had led to the breakup.

But the drama didn’t stop there. Sanjeeda and Aamir had a daughter through surrogacy in 2018. After their separation, reports claimed that Sanjeeda kept their daughter away from Aamir, refusing to let him meet her. Despite Aamir’s dignified silence and respectful statements about wishing Sanjeeda well, it was clear he was hurting. Many felt sympathy for him, seeing him as a genuinely nice guy who was dealt a cruel hand.

Fans wondered: Was Sanjeeda really the villain in this story? Did her alleged affair destroy a 13-year relationship and separate a father from his child?

Complicating matters further, Sanjeeda’s sister-in-law filed a domestic violence case against Sanjeeda and her family, accusing them of verbal and physical abuse. She claimed Sanjeeda’s family lied about her brother’s profession before marriage and tried to force her out of their home. These accusations painted a troubling picture of Sanjeeda’s personal life.

Professionally, Sanjeeda continued to shine, recently starring in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s web series “Heeramandi.” But her interviews raised eyebrows. She hinted that her partner didn’t support her career, suggesting Aamir was insecure or unsupportive. Some speculated that her desire to work in Bollywood, rather than just television, caused friction in their marriage. Others absurdly blamed her choice of revealing outfits, but those who knew her dismissed these claims—Sanjeeda had always dressed boldly, and Aamir had never seemed bothered.

Perhaps the most controversial moment came during a recent interview. When asked about harassment, Sanjeeda shared an incident where a man touched her inappropriately. She then claimed, “Women are no less than men,” arguing that women, too, can be wrong and shouldn’t always play the victim card. While she was right in saying everyone should be held accountable, her comments seemed to downplay the prevalence of harassment faced by women, especially in India. Many felt she was normalizing a serious issue, which didn’t sit well with viewers.

So, what really happened between Sanjeeda and Aamir? Was it betrayal, career ambition, or family drama that tore them apart? And is Sanjeeda’s behavior truly problematic, or is she just misunderstood?
