The Hidden Family Relation Between Surekha Sikri, Naseeruddin Shah And His First Wife, Parveen Murad

There are numerous family connections in the Hindi film industry that aren't known to many people because of their history. One such family relation is shared between late iconic actress, Surekha Sikri and legendary actor, Naseeruddin Shah. Even some of the biggest fans of these tremendous actors would not know how they're connected, and it's a bit interesting because the common link between them unfolds the hidden pages of Sureka Sikri and Naseeruddin Shah's lives.

Before exploring the family relation between the two iconic actors, it's essential to know the surprising fact that Surekha Sikri and Naseeruddin Shah have worked together in just one film. Yes! These two legends of the Hindi cinema had managed to work together on just one occasion, and that too was not very indulging. While Naseeruddin was the film's lead antagonist, Surekha had played a relatively minor supporting role in the film. The film was Sarfarosh (1990), and it is still regarded as one of the biggest films of Naseeruddin Shah's glorious career.

Before getting married to the iconic actress, Ratna Pathak, the ever-so-charming, Naseeruddin Shah was the moon of someone else's life. Yes! It is what you're thinking right now. Naseeruddin Shah was married to someone else, and his wedding with Ratna Pathak was his second marriage. According to multiple reports, Naseeruddin Shah had decided to marry his then-ladylove, Manara Sikri, despite her being 15 years elder than him. When the actor had told his parents about his decision to marry Manara, they strongly opposed it. The family was not in favour of Naseeruddin Shah's decision to marry a divorcee, who was living with her children in Iran.

However, Naseeruddin Shah had got married to Manara Sikri going against his family's will. Naseeruddin Shah and Manara were living a happy married life together and had also welcomed a daughter, whom they had lovingly named, Heeba Shah.

During that tough time, Manara Sikri reportedly had immense support from her sister, Surekha Sikri, who was riding high on the professional front at that time. However, Manara and Naseeruddin Shah's story had ended once and for all after the latter had fallen in love with Ratna Pathak. The couple had got married in 1982.
