KARACHI — November 11, 2025: A new family controversy has surfaced in Pakistan’s entertainment industry after actress Anzela Abbasi publicly spoke about her strained relationship with her father, veteran actor Shamoon Abbasi. The comments, made during a podcast appearance with Ahmed Ali Butt, quickly made headlines and sparked debate across social media.
Anzela Abbasi, daughter of the former celebrity couple Shamoon Abbasi and Javeria Abbasi, shared that she grew up without a father-figure, saying that her mother fulfilled both parental roles. She further remarked that she never viewed her father as a guiding presence in her life.

These rare and direct comments stand in contrast to the long-standing public silence both Shamoon and Javeria Abbasi have maintained regarding their divorce and parenting dynamics. Although the two have acknowledged difficult family relations in the past, neither has openly criticized the other.
Shamoon Abbasi has now responded in his own subtle yet pointed way. The actor took to Facebook, posting a series of photos with Anzela from different stages of her life. The album was captioned “THE ABSENT FATHER,” hinting at his disagreement with the narrative without issuing a direct statement.

The post marks Shamoon’s first public reaction after years of speculation about his distance from his daughter, including his absence from her wedding. Both Shamoon and Javeria have since moved on in their personal lives and had previously refrained from discussing past tensions.
As the issue continues to gain traction, neither party has offered further clarification — leaving fans and followers of the Abbasi family closely watching how this deeply personal story unfolds in the public eye.
