Veteran actress Farida Jalal had once opened up about a deeply personal chapter of her life — her parents’ divorce and how it shaped her early years.

During her appearance on the celebrity talk show “Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai,” Jalal revealed that her parents separated when she was just two years old, following which the court ordered that the children be sent to a boarding school.

The ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ actress shared that her mother eventually took custody, and those experiences left a lasting impact on her childhood. When asked what drew her towards acting, Farida Jalal shared that her journey into films happened quite organically. Growing up with a deep love for performing and storytelling, she found herself naturally inclined toward the stage.
