Having children is often considered a natural and inevitable part of marriage in many cultures, especially in Pakistan. However, some Pakistani celebrity couples have decided not to have children of their own, either by choice or by circumstance. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind their decision and how they cope with the social pressure and stigma that comes with being childless.
Why These Pakistani Celebrity Couples Chose to Remain Childless

Mohammad Ali and Zeba are one of the most iconic and admired couples of the old Lollywood industry. They starred in many hit films together and became the epitome of romance on screen. They got married in 1966 and remained together until Mohammad Ali’s death in 2006. However, they never had any children of their own, despite being married for 40 years.
According to some sources, the reason for their childlessness was that Zeba had a miscarriage early in their marriage and could not conceive again. However, they never let this affect their love and happiness. They adopted two daughters, Samina and Sana, and treated them as their own. They also had many pets in their house and were very fond of them. They showed the world that true love does not need any biological affirmation.
