New Delhi: Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan says he had “no regrets” about marrying Bollywood actor and his ex-wife Reena Roy. The cricketer recently opened up about his and Reena Roy’s divorce in an interview. Mohsin Khan married Reena Roy in 1983 and they divorced a few years later in the 90s. They have a daughter named Sanam together. In an interview with G Sports Network, Mohsin Khan was asked if he regretted marrying Reena Roy, to which Mohsin Khan replied, “I have no regrets. I had married a human being, I didn’t see who she was or where she was from. In the end I had decided that I wanted to stay in Pakistan. Even if I went to England to play, I wanted to stay in Pakistan.”
The 68-year-old added during the interview: “I never saw any of her films before our wedding, I swear to God, nobody believes this. I don’t watch, I rarely do. If I left home and there was an Amitabh Bachchan scene going on, I’d probably stop and watch it for a few minutes too. But otherwise, I never watched movies. And I was never impressed by beauty, I liked a good person.”
Besides cricket, Mohsin Khan also worked in a handful of films, including Batwara, Fateh, Gunehgar Kaun, Pratikar, Madam X and Saathi.
Reena Roy started her acting career at the age of 15 with the 1972 film Zaroorat. She continued to act in films such as Kaalicharan, Apnapan, Vishwanath the 1976 movie Nagin, Apnapan, Zakhmee, Jaani Dushman, Aasha, Arpan, Asha Jyoti, Naseeb and Sanam Teri Kasam among many others.
