Who is Hasin Jahan? Mohammed Shami's Wife's First Husband & Troubled Marriage to Cheerleading Days, Everything to Know

It has been over a week Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has dominated the major headlines. But sadly, it is not concerning his career highs but his personal-life lows. Mohammed Shami’s estranged wife Hasin Jahan has levelled a string of serious charges against the 28-year-old pacer and his family. She has accused Shami of having extra-marital affairs (including a Pakistani girlfriend), forcing her to have physical relations with his brother, hatching a murder plan as well as match-fixing! These startling revelations which were first made by Hasin Jahan on March 7 (the day BCCI contracts were to be awarded) are getting murkier with each passing day. But is Mohammed Shami the only one with shocking secrets? The news reports do not suggest so. There is a lot Hasin Jahan has well been hiding about her past, a hidden past she apparently has lied about according to Shami. It includes Hasin Jahan’s troubled first marriage, ex-husband and two daughters and so much more!

Mohammed Shami married Hasin Jahan on June 6, 2014. While it was the first marriage for the Team India player, it reportedly was a second marriage for the Kolkata model. Hasin Jahan had been previously married and is a mother of two daughters. In a recent interview to NewsX, Mohammad Shami claimed of being unaware of his wife’s previous marriage and her children from her first husband. Shami was quoted saying, “I was not aware of her first marriage when we got married. But slowly, she started telling me. She said that the girls (Hasin’s daughters from her first marriage) are daughters of my late sister. Till now, my family thought that they are her cousin’s kids.” Shocking, right!

Who is Hasin Jahan’s First Husband?

With the celebrity couple washing their dirty linens in public, it has brought each other’s hidden pasts up at the surface. Till a few days ago, all eyes were fixed on Mohammad Shami’s list of alleged girlfriends but lately, it is Hasin Jahan’s private life that has come under the scanner. It has happened after Hasin Jahan’s first husband Sheikh Saifuddin came into the picture. Not many knew about Hasin Jahan being previously married to the said person before he gave an interview to Zee 24 Ghanta.

Sheikh Saifuddin claims he married Hasin Jahan in 2002 despite family’s disapproval (even Mohammad Shami’s wedding with Hasin took place without the family's approval). However, moving on with Saifuddin’s story, the man recalled that the couple lived in the same locality in Siuri, Birbhum in West Bengal and that he had first met Hasin in 2000 and got married a couple of years later. Hasin gave birth to couple’s children, two daughters in 2003 and 2006.

What is the Reality of Hasin Jahan’s Troubled First Marriage?

According to Sheikh Saifuddin, the trouble in their marriage started brewing after Hasin Jahan expressed her desire to study further and become an independent person. Her progressive liberal thoughts did not sit well with his orthodox middle-class family. With constant disharmony, the pair decided to split and got divorced in 2010. Upon their separation, Hasin and Saifuddin’s daughters were given to the lady but after she married Mohammed Shami, the girls returned to their father’s house in Birbhum. They are currently studying in tenth and sixth standards respectively.

Hasin Jahan’s first husband and her elder daughter have both expressed their desire to see her resolve the differences with Mohammed Shami. Their presence and Mohammad Shami’s comment on not having a knowledge about their relations with Hasin Jahan has again given the case a new turn. According to Shami, his wife claimed the children to be her late sister’s children.

What is Hasin Jahan’s Claim to Fame?

So, exactly what do we know about Hasin Jahan? There is very little known about the woman who gained the celebrity status post her marriage to India’s frontline pacer Mohammed Shami in the year 2014. She is said to be 26 years of age (though several unverified reports claim her to be much older than the 28-year-old cricketer). Hasin Jahan first met Shami in 2011. She is a former model and also a cheerleader with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), an Indian Premier League team co-owned by Bollywood superstar actor Shah Rukh Khan. She has a four-year-old daughter with Mohammed Shami. Ironically, before the ongoing domestic feud, Hasin Jahan would feature in the news headlines every time Shami defended her honour against the faceless trolls who would target his wife and family’s liberal lifestyle. One cannot claim if that was all hogwash on part of the cricketer hearing Hasin Jahan’s appalling accusations against him. Meanwhile, Hasin Jahan has lately been captured on camera attacking the media persons who were trying to get her reaction on the entire episode.

How it Affected Mohammed Shami’s Life?

Since March 7, Hasin Jahan has been making one scandalous revelation after another about her husband, which has not only affected their family life but also jeopardized Mohammed Shami’s cricketing career. She began with accusing Shami of cheating on her and having several extra-marital affairs. Jahan moved on to alleging that Shami forced his brother to have physical relations with her as well as his family has been attempting to murder her! Hasin Jahan has also accused Shami of fixing matches of Indian cricket team and what not. This has resulted in a case being registered against Shami on under non-bailable sections 307 (attempt to murder), 498-A (subjecting a woman to cruelty) and 376 (punishment for rape). Along with Shami, four others have been booked under bailable sections 323 (causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation).

While these legal proceedings are on, Shami seems to have been declared a criminal. At least, that is how the Board of Control for Cricket in India have conveyed with their initial action. They have put Shami’s annual contract on hold. Not just the national cricket team, Shami’s future in domestic tournament, Indian Premier League is in limbo. His franchise, Delhi Daredevils are yet to give green signal to the bowler over his participation in the 11th edition.

Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan’s domestic row has become a matter of hot debate everywhere, right from national television news channels to the digital platform. It is another case of media trial where Hasin Jahan’s first-hand rants are making sensational ‘breaking news’ headlines without waiting for the official investigators to reach any conclusion. We have seen in the past (remember, Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan’s controversy) and it is time the media stop with their biased reporting and stick to reporting the news and stating the facts.
