Neelima Azeem, the mother of Bollywood actors Shahid Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, has openly discussed the criticism she receives on social media regarding her three marriages. In an interview with Zoom TV, she expressed her frustration over false narratives, particularly a recent comment suggesting she drinks alcohol, which she refuted, stating, 'I don’t even drink.' Azeem, who was married to Pankaj Kapur, Rajesh Khatter, and Ustaad Raza Ali Khan, shared her belief that she married for love and talent rather than material gain. She noted that if she doesn't speak out, her voice and truth could be suppressed, especially by other women. Reflecting on her past, she acknowledged that marriage is complex and often influenced by personal growth and life phases. Neelima concluded by emphasizing the importance of self-love, stating, 'I love myself the most besides my kids,' and that mistakes should not define a person.
