Mohammed Shami accused [Source: @san_x_m/X.com]
The legal battle between Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami and his estranged wife Hasin Jahan has taken a dramatic turn. Just days after the Calcutta High Court ordered Shami to pay a monthly amount of Rs 4 lakh for the upkeep of Jahan and their daughter Aaira, new and serious allegations have come to light.
To begin with, this case dates back to 2018, when Hasin Jahan, who was once a model, accused Shami of domestic violence and infidelity. Their marriage, which began in 2014, came to an abrupt end, and since then, the two have been locked in a bitter and long-running court battle.
Recently, Jahan went back to court to challenge an earlier decision that offered her far less financial support. The High Court sided with her, increasing the monthly maintenance from a combined Rs 1.3 lakh to Rs 4 lakh, Rs 1.5 lakh for her and Rs 2.5 lakh for their daughter.
However, what truly shocked everyone were the statements Jahan made shortly after the ruling.
Hasin Jahan Makes Explosive Claims On Social Media
In an emotional and intense Instagram post on July 4, Hasin Jahan accused Mohammed Shami of not just neglecting his family but also going to extreme lengths to make her life miserable. She alleged that Shami bribed criminals to “harm, defame, and harass” her throughout the seven years of their legal fight.
According to her, instead of investing in their daughter’s education and well-being, Shami spent his money on “crooks and prostitutes.” She labelled him as “characterless, greedy, and mean-minded,” accusing him of ruining their family due to his own choices.
Jahan also expressed frustration over what she views as the injustice of living in a male-dominated society where she was wrongfully portrayed.
Though the court’s decision gives temporary relief to Jahan and her daughter, she still feels the amount ordered is not enough. Given Shami’s income and public status, she argues that Rs 4 lakh per month doesn’t match the standard of living their daughter deserves. She has reportedly demanded Rs 10 lakh per month going forward.
On the other side, Mohammed Shami has mostly stayed silent on the matter. While he hasn’t spoken much publicly, he continues to play international cricket and has secured lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) contracts over the years. He has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal.
