Asma Abbas is one of the most respected senior actresses in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Known for her powerful performances, graceful personality and natural screen presence, she has remained a prominent figure in television and film for decades. She is also the sister of veteran actress and host Bushra Ansari. Over the years, Asma has openly discussed different aspects of her personal life, including her marriage to retired Colonel Ghulam Abbas, who was previously married.

Recently, Asma Abbas and her husband appeared on Zabardast, hosted by Wasi Shah, where they spoke candidly about their relationship and some emotional experiences from their past. During the conversation, Colonel Abbas opened up about a regret he has carried regarding his first wife and his decision to marry Asma.

According to him, one of his biggest regrets is that he did not immediately tell his first wife about his marriage to Asma. Instead, he admitted that he initially hid the truth and even lied about it. Looking back, he believes that his approach was wrong and that he should have been honest with his first wife from the beginning.

Colonel Abbas explained that he feels he should have accepted responsibility for his decision rather than keeping it hidden. He expressed regret that he did not handle the situation in the way he believes he should have. For him, being honest and openly acknowledging such an important decision would have been a more appropriate way to deal with the situation.

Asma Abbas also reflected on the relationship between her husband and his first wife. She revealed that despite the guilt he carried, he never properly expressed those feelings to his first wife while she was alive. This became an emotional part of their conversation as they discussed the importance of saying what is in one’s heart before it is too late.

Colonel Abbas agreed that people should express their feelings during their lifetime rather than leaving important emotions unspoken. He explained that while people can sometimes understand each other through emotions and actions, directly expressing feelings in words is equally important.

The conversation became particularly emotional when Colonel Abbas remembered his first wife’s final moments. He recalled how much pain she was experiencing toward the end of her life and became tearful while speaking about their relationship.

He also remembered touching her feet as a way of expressing the guilt he had carried inside. However, he admitted that he never actually put those feelings into words while she was alive. Remembering the moment appeared to bring back a deep sense of emotion and regret for him.

Interestingly, Asma Abbas also shared that she had a good relationship with her husband’s first wife. Despite the complicated circumstances surrounding their marriage, the two women were able to maintain a positive bond.

The emotional discussion offered viewers a rare glimpse into the personal struggles and regrets that can remain hidden within families. Colonel Abbas’s reflections also highlighted the importance of honesty, communication and expressing emotions openly, particularly with the people who matter most. His tearful recollection showed that some feelings can remain deeply painful even years later.
