Actor Juvaria Abbasi has a stranger personal life than most; her ex-husband is also her stepbrother.

She appeared on Nida Yasir's show and made some shocking revelations that have the internet scratching its collective head.

Yasir said the Geo Entertainment drama Hum Tum, which starred Atiqa Odho, Sajid Hassan, Aamina Sheikh and Mohib Mirza, was based on Juvaria's life.

"Juvaria's mother and Shamoon's father got married. Javeria and Shamoon were step-siblings," revealed Yasir.

Juvaria married her ex-husband Shamoon at tender age of 17, when he was 22. The two were engaged when their parents got married, and the awkward step-sibling situation was born. The two were married for 10 years before divorcing and have a now adult daughter.

"People get really confused with this story," Juvaria said, adding, "So I don't want to create any confusion. The rest of our siblings were from our mother and father. That's why people get really confused whether Anoushey Abbasi is my sister or Shamoon's. She's both."

Juvaria confessed that she had to move to her maternal uncle's house in order to be married into her in-laws' place, which was also her parents' home then, after her mother's marriage.

As Yasir revealed Juvaria married the first man she saw, we saw the humour of the situation wasn't lost on Juvaria, who laughed as she said, "He was the first man so I thought I'd just hold onto him. But that's a big exaggeration. However, the idea was to bring the whole family together. We would live together, share a house, so it was a good idea and it worked."

One intriguing question the host wanted to settle was how her relationship with her in-laws was after her marriage. Given that her mother-in-law also happened to be her birth mother, one would assume that though an extremely uneasy position to find one's self in, this one aspect would be easier. "Oh no, I had it worse!" the actor replied.

"My mother was on a mission to prove how her daughter was the best. Apart from working 12 hours a day, I would do rest of the chores as well."

Pakistanis are having a tough time processing this and we're having a tough time figuring out the logistics of the situation too.

What is this, a Dark episode?

While it's clear that the two are not related by blood, the situation is more than a bit strange and it will take the internet a while to get over.

Religiously, the situation is in order because, the husband became step brother after he got married with his step sister by law.

Strangely we are loosing our values and becoming similar to the West. The only difference in the West is that the siblings get to have the confirmation through a DNA test contrary to this one as they already knew. What a mess this Pakistani society is becoming.

Technically, the child of step mother or step father from his /her previous life has nil genetic or blood connection with the child of partner from his/her previous marriage. The partners through marriage are connected in a civil bond not in a blood bond. Hence it s un-understandable as to why people are criticising this relationship/marriage negatively and why Javeria has made an issue out of it.

This relation is not called step-brother. It is a stupid issue.

Why is everyone shocked? Such marriages are common and it is better than marrying your first cousin.

This is called becoming News. Shamoon is nothing to her. He is just a previous son of her Step Mother. She is just a previous daughter from his new Step Father. Neither Shamoon is a blood relation of her real father, Nor she is a blood relation to Shamoon's real mother. So can she now call him her Step Brother ?. She should not confuse the public like this. She got diviorced. While her father married another woman who happens to be Shamoon's mother.

Stop fooling others, this relationship dosen't make them siblings, they are not hereditary, or genetically related.

What do you get when you cross a stepmother and wood cutter? Step cutter! When you cross two divorcees with children, you get a step-siblings (steppers) - not half brother or sister!! Steppers are genetically and medically unrelated children and have no blood relationship i,e. not related by blood. In any home there should NOT be any half or step siblings, there should only be ONE family!!.. The only steps in the home are the ones going upstairs.

I read...."You cant pick who you are born with, or end up with. family is family. Ironically in blended families the bond that links family is not always blood, but by choice, respect and joy in each other's hearts. Last names may not match but the hearts certainly do. "

This is exactly why divorce as an act is condemned in Islam but all these so called empowered women on television are justifying and are in favour of it all the time

Why is this blowing people's mind? I fail to understand. They are from two different fathers, so no harm in marrying. We all need to get a life or focus on the one we already have.

We have an example of it in mughal history. Jahangir son prince Shah Jahan also married to his father's second wife Noor Jahan 's daughter from her first husband.
