Recently, Sania Khan had taken to TikTok to speak about divorce and talked about the hardships she faced as a divorced woman.

On her TikTok account, the victim shared, “As a South Asian woman going through a divorce, it feels like you’ve failed in life, the lack of emotional support you get and someone to be with. The stress of being faced with the words ‘what will people say’?”

Sania Khan shared her feelings and added, “It’s painful to walk away from someone you once loved, but it’s even more painful to love someone who doesn’t care about you.”
