Puppeteer Faizan Peerzada: It is shocking and sad news. When something shocking takes place one does not know how to react. I really don’t know what to say. I could not imagine such talk about a marriage ending like this.

Writer Haseena Moeen: Imran Khan is a national hero. I really feel bad about his divorce. I don’t know what is behind the divorce, but it should not have happened. If such things happen to good people, their personalities can be damaged.

Painter Dr Ajaz Anwar: The couple must have thought, ‘You live once’, so they decided what they thought was best for them.
