New Delhi: Reena Roy is suddenly in the news after she appeared on Indian Idol 13 along with Jayaprada. A lot of skeletons tumbled out of the cupboard as she spoke about her affair with Shatrughan Sinha and how she went on to get married to Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan.
Reena marked her acting debut at the age of 15 with Zaroorat (1972) and went on to rule the silver screen in the 70s and 80s. At the peak of her career, she quit films and tied the knot with Mohsin Khan. The couple got married in 1983 and Reena moved to Pakistan.

“I have no regrets. I had married a human being, I didn’t see who she was or where she was from. But I had decided that I want to stay in Pakistan… Pakistan is our identity. I never watched any of her films before our wedding, no one believes this. If I was leaving home and there was an Amitabh Bachchan scene going on, I would probably stop and watch, but otherwise I have never watched films. And I was never impressed by beauty, I liked a good human being,” he said.
Reena got custody of her daughter Sanam. In an interview with ETimes, the actress opened up about Mohsin and said, “He’s the father of my daughter. He’s in touch with her. They share a close father-daughter bond. He’s settled well in life. I pray that God keeps him healthy and happy.”
