Controversy
In 2010, Adnan and Roya lived in an apartment at Oberoi Skyheights in Lokhandwala Complex, which technically belonged to Adnan’s second wife, Sabah, since the luxury flat was bought with her money. Galadari Sabah found Roya living there when she went to check on her pet dog, which Adnan still cared for. As a result, the Family Court has ordered Roya not to live there. Following another complaint made by Sabah against Adnan under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, the court issued a restraining order. In an interview, while talking about this situation, Roya said,
I was taught by my parents that wherever my husband lives is where I belong.”
While defending his wife, Adnan challenged the order of the Family Court and said,
No one can ask any wife to leave her husband’s house. How would Sabah like it if my first wife Zeba Bakhtiar asked him to leave.”
