Eva Grover Recalls Her 'Abusive Marriage' With Aamir Khan's Stepbrother Hyder: He Wasn’t Mature...
Eva Grover also opened up about how she was not allowed to meet her daughter for 10 years after her divorce from Aamir Khan's stepbrother Hyder Ali Khan.
Eva Grover has been in the TV industry for over two decades now. She has played mostly supportive roles, including playing the mother of Ram Kapoor in Bade Acche Lagte Hai. While we all know about her professional life, not many know that she was once married to Aamir Khan's step-brother Hyder Ali Khan. In a recent interview, she candidly opened up about her troubled marriage and how she lost custody of her daughter.
Eva Grover's mother was against her inter-faith relationship with Hyder
In an interview with Coffee Unfiltered, Eva was asked about her troubled marriage. The actress admitted to making mistakes and low later she tried to save her marriage. She recounted having all the happiness in the world and doing well professionally at that time. "But that was not just what I wanted, I wanted a home, a loving husband, and loving kids. I wanted to be a homemaker. But instead of achieving this dream of mine, I got everything else," she continued.
The actress added that she had a love marriage, she eloped and got married in 18 days. Her mother didn't want her to marry Hyder that's why they ran away from home. However, by the fourth day of the marriage, she realised, "If this is what marriage is, why does the institute even exist?”
Her marriage lasted for about five years and she tried her "best" to save her home from breaking, but nothing happened. "I guess he wasn’t mature enough to take that kind of responsibility. He was Aamir Khan’s stepbrother, he was a very different person from who I had dated. It was one of the most abusive marriages.”
How did Eva Grover lose custody of her daughter?
The actress revealed that her daughter was taken away from her when she was three years old. The actress was shooting for a show in Mumbai and when she returned later that day she didn't find her daughter at home. When she asked her mother she said "she gave her to her father".
"I lost my daughter and didn’t get to see her for 10 years. She now lives with her aunt. I meet her occasionally and have stayed with her," she added.
Eva was last seen in the 2015 show Tashan-E-Ishq. She has also been part of several Bollywood movies, including Ready, Aunty No. 1, Krishna and Kattumarakaran.
