From taking divorce after having three children to struggling in the US all alone post being banned from television, Lodhi surely did not have it easy.

A few years back, Lodhi got involved in a controversy and she had to leave the country.

“I had to fly to the US because I was getting threats. My three children and my parents accompanied me but after some time I had to send them back. I was running out of money, I had no idea if the next paycheque will come or not,” Lodhi opened up. “After I sent my family to Pakistan, I sat at the airport and cried. No one could help me out.”

“I had little money left so I lived in a shabby hotel in the US and only had tea and biscuits for three consecutive days. It was the worst period of my life. I couldn’t even go back because I was getting death threats.”

The unhappy marriage

The morning show host revealed that she had taken many tough decisions in life, one of them being her divorce. “My mother did not talk to me for two or three years because she was against my divorce but I was clear that I could not live in an unhappy marriage.”
