Recently, Rizvi appeared on Nadir Ali’s podcast and spoke candidly about her divorce, expressing her emotions with a heavy heart. She revealed that her marriage, which was semi-arranged, was plagued by abuse and manipulation from her husband. Despite trying her best to make the marriage work, she was unaware of the line that should not be crossed in any relationship and suffered in silence for four years.
The 41-year-old spoke candidly about being hit, manipulated, and subjected to psychological abuse, and expressed regret for wasting her prime years on someone who was not deserving of her love and care.

Acknowledging the challenges and hardships she faced during that time, she shares that at some point she thought her life was over but has since learned to heal and find happiness.
