Actress Eva Grover has finally broken her silence on her troubled marriage to Hyder Ali Khan, actor Aamir Khan’s step-brother. In a recent heart-to-heart, she revealed that she tied the knot with him after knowing him for only 18 days, and alleged that the relationship soon turned physically abusive.
Grover, best known for her role in the TV series Shaktimaan and films like Ready, opened up about the dark chapter of her life, giving fans a glimpse into what really went down behind closed doors.
The whirlwind romance that ended too soon
Grover admitted that the marriage was impulsive. She said in the interview that she had dated Hyder Ali for barely 18 days before saying ‘I do.’ Reflecting on it now, she confessed that in such a short time, you can’t truly know a person. She even took partial responsibility, acknowledging that maybe she rushed into it too quickly.
For the uninitiated, Hyder Ali Khan is Aamir Khan’s half-brother from his father’s first marriage. He has largely stayed away from the limelight, but this revelation has put him back in the news for all the wrong reasons.
When love turned toxic
Grover alleged that soon after the wedding, her husband’s anger issues surfaced. She claimed that he became physically violent, and the environment at home became unbearable. The actress did not hold back while describing the abuse, but she also made it clear that she doesn’t want to paint herself as a complete victim. She believes both of them made mistakes, but the violence was something she could not tolerate.
While she didn’t go into graphic details, her words were enough to shock fans who remember her as the bubbly girl from the 90s television circuit. Many have since taken to social media to express their support.
Finding the strength to walk away
Grover also spoke about the support system that helped her gather the courage to leave the marriage. She credited friends and family for standing by her during the tough phase. Though she did not name anyone specific, she expressed gratitude for those who encouraged her to prioritise her safety and well-being.
Today, Eva Grover is in a much better place emotionally and professionally. She continues to act and remains a familiar face on Indian television. Her decision to speak out, years after the fact, is being seen as an act of empowerment—especially for women who might be going through similar situations in silence.
As for Hyder Ali Khan, there has been no response from him or the Khan family at the time of writing. But one thing is clear: this story has once again highlighted how even the glitziest of Bollywood families can have their share of dark secrets.
