Meet Aamir Khan's co-star who fled home at 19 with her 8-month-old daughter who is now popular OTT star
Not every actor in the industry has a journey of fairytale in the world of glitz and glamor. The actor we're talking about today has worked with the likes of Aamir Khan and Rishi Kapoor.

Fresh out of school, at the age of 17, Ruskhar was already playing lead roles in major production. However, this success was short-lived as her parents didn't view acting as a respectable career path. They always believed that a stable family life was more important and arranged her marriage. Unfortunately, her married life anyway fell apart, and she ran away from her house at the age of 19 with her 8-month-old daughter, Aisha Ahmed. While speaking with Humans of Bombay, the actress recalled going back to her father, who stood by her decision. She opened up a boutique, but her inner calling remained for acting. In 2005, she made another tough decision of leaving her daughter with her parents. While it was difficult, she knew it was important to provide her daughter with the life she deserved.

New Delhi: Rukhsar Rehman, who was a regular in serials and made a few cameos in films like PK, Sarkar, and God Tussi Great Ho, recently opened up about the challenges she faced in her personal life while trying to make a place in the industry. Rukhsar revealed she was married off forcibly by her parents. She fled with her infant daughter to survive when she was only 19. In an interaction with Humans of Bombay, Rukhsar Rehman said she made her debut in Deepak Anand's Yaad Rakhegi Duniya (1992) when she was 17. The actor also featured with Rishi Kapoor in the film Inteha Pyar Ki. However, her parents didn't approve of her career and made her quit acting forcibly to get her married. At 19, Rukshar became a mother of a baby girl, Aisha. "With Aisha, I found my new purpose. Life looked perfect from the outside. I was trying to be a good wife. But over time, the cracks began to show. And the marriage fell apart," she said. One day, Rukhsar mustered the courage to take a step forward for herself - she fled with her 8-month old daughter on her lap. "One night, I packed what little I could and left. My daughter was just 8 months old, asleep, unaware our life was about to change. I kept asking myself, 'Am I doing the right thing?' But I knew I had tried everything. When my father opened the door, he didn't ask questions - just said, 'You'll be okay," she recalled. To make ends meet, she then opened a garment boutique in her hometown Rampur, Uttar Pradesh. But the actor inside her always wanted to make a comeback. Rukhsar made cameos in films like D, Sarkar, PK, Uri, 83. Years later, Rukhsar also married filmmaker Faruk Kabir, but they filed for divorce after 13 years. "It hurt, but Aisha was by my side. I believe she raised me too. There was a time I thought my story was over. But I loved acting too much to let it go. When you're meant to do something, you find your way back - when you're ready," she concluded.

Rukhsar Rehman Reveals Being Forcibly Married Off By Parents, Fleeing With Baby At 19
Last Updated: Rukhsar debuted at 17 in Yaad Rakhegi Duniya and starred with Rishi Kapoor in Inteha Pyar Ki. Forced to quit acting and marry, she had daughter Aisha at 19. There are stories that never quite make it to the spotlight, those quiet tales of resilience, sacrifice, and the stubborn pursuit of dreams. Rukhsar Rehman's is one of them. Long before she graced the screens in PK, Sarkar, or Uri, Rukhsar was just a 17-year-old girl stepping into the world of cinema with Yaad Rakhegi Duniya. She shared screen space with Rishi Kapoor in Inteha Pyar Ki, but her dreams were short-lived. Under pressure from her family, she walked away from acting. Her parents arranged her marriage, and by 19, she had become a mother. 'With Aisha, I found my new purpose. Life looked perfect from the outside. I was trying to be a good wife. But over time, the cracks began to show. And the marriage fell apart," Rukhsar told Humans Of Bombay. There was no dramatic exit, no grand farewell to that chapter. 'One night, I packed what little I could and left. My daughter was just 8 months old, asleep, unaware our life was about to change. I kept asking myself, 'Am I doing the right thing?' But I knew I had tried everything. When my father opened the door, he didn't ask questions — just said, 'You'll be okay.'" With nothing but grit, she started over in her hometown Rampur, opening a small garment boutique to support herself and Aisha. But the artist in her wasn't ready to disappear. 'Years passed. One day, I grew too restless. I left Aisha with my parents — the hardest thing I've ever done. But I had to find myself again if I wanted to give her the life she deserved. In 2005, after over a decade away, I started from scratch — small roles, auditions, rejections. But I kept going." The path back to acting wasn't easy. But one role led to another – films, TV, and recognition slowly returned. She even found love again and married filmmaker Faruk Kabir. Yet, life had more heartbreak in store. 'It hurt, but Aisha was by my side. I believe she raised me too. There was a time I thought my story was over. But I loved acting too much to let it go. When you're meant to do something, you find your way back — when you're ready." Up next, Rukhsar Rehman is set to appear in Uttar Da Puttar, a social drama helmed by director Ravinder Siwach and starring Annu Kapoor in a key role. She also makes a special appearance in the upcoming film Thanks Maa. First Published:
