Yesteryear
actress
Mumtaz
in
her
recent
interview
with
a
news
portal,
spoke
at
length
about
her
personal
life.
The
Aap
Ki
Kasam
actress
recalled
how
she
had
an
extra-marital
affair
after
her
husband
Mayur
Madhwani
had
one
too.
However,
Mumtaz
also
added
that
it
was
a
temporary
phase
which
ended
soon.
Mumtaz
told
Pinkvilla,
"It's
quite
common
for
men
to
have
affairs
through
the
backdoor.
My
husband
didn't
have
any...
except
one.
I
respect
him
because
he
himself
told
me
about
it.
He
confided
that
he'd
developed
a
liking
for
a
girl
in
the
US.
He
was
born
and
brought
up
in
America.
But
he
insisted,
'Mumtaz,
you're
my
wife.
I
love
you
and
will
always
love
you.
I
will
never
leave
you.'"
She
continued,
"The
problem
arose
because
I
was
a
little
ziddi
(stubborn),
thodi
nakchadi
(difficult)
thi.
But
today,
it's
a
forgotten
story.
Maaf
toh
zindagi
mein
ek
baar
Khuda
bhi
karta
hai.
I
live
like
a
queen.
My
husband
has
never
kept
me
wanting
for
anything."
Mumtaz
shared
that
after
she
came
to
know
about
her
hubby's
affair,
she
started
feeling
lonely
and
ended
up
having
an
extra-marital
affair
herself.
Talking
about
it,
she
said,
"When
you're
amidst
thorns
and
someone
comes
along
with
a
rose,
you
do
get
carried
away.
But
it
was
nothing
serious.
Just
a
temporary
phase,
which
ended
soon.
I'm
lucky
that
my
husband
still
loves
me
so
much.
Even
if
I
fall
a
bit
sick,
hungama
khada
ho
jaata
hai
(there
is
hue
and
cry
about
it)."
In
the
same
interview,
she
also
talked
about
the
difficulties
she
faced
during
her
pregnancies
after
suffering
from
three-four
miscarriages.
Mumtaz
recalled,
"I'd
to
take
hormone
injections
every
morning
and
tablets
in
the
evening.
I
conceived
Natasha
(married
to
actor
Fardeen
Khan)
in
Uganda.
While
carrying
Tanya,
I
was
stuck
here
in
my
house
in
Cuffe
Parade.
I
was
not
allowed
to
travel.
But
because
I
didn't
give
up,
I
was
blessed
with
wonderful
daughters.
In
the
same
way,
I
didn't
give
up
on
my
marriage...
Isiliye
mera
miyan
bhi
mera
hi
hai.
He
loves
me
so
much."
Mumtaz
was
one
of
the
most
sought-after
actresses
in
60s
and
70s.
Her
last
on
screen
appearance
was
the
1990
film
Aandhiyan
post
which
she
bid
adieu
to
acting.
