I was an extremely supportive wife who took the entire responsibility on her shoulders alone just so Mikaal could travel and work, which he did non-stop. I never ever questioned him about women he worked with,” Sara added. “Yes, I did question him about the things which had actual ‘truth’ in them.”ย
Bhatti also said that she doesn’t think rumors are worth addressing, “I’ve been accused of being a bad mother, various lies are constantly published about me,” she wrote.ย She concluded on an optimistic note, “I’m on my life path, Alhamdulilah. I do hope that all those people doing this should be on their own life paths. I know for a fact God did not create you to spread gossip and lies about others.”ย
