Comedian Nasra Yusuf has confirmed that she broke up with her husband and fellow comedian Director Rashid.
The funny woman took to her social media to announce it in a lengthy post saying that she fought for the relationship and lost a lot while at it, “So yes I am single…Anyone that knows me, knows that I fought for that relationship. I lost touch with family because of it, I lost myself and my career because of it, I lost friends because of it, and I got constant criticism from my community because of it but I was still willing to make it work even though the roots of our problems were the same year in year out for 5 years.”
Adding that its not been an easy marriage, “Moving on hasn’t been easy on me, I had very extremely low moments, I cried myself to sleep, I broke down several times in front of friends and strangers, I was in denial, and I had so much regret, but I finally accepted that it was time to close that chapter. I went through all the stages of grief and were it not for my mom, sister, and friends, I would have sunk even deeper, so thank you guys for walking with me during this hard period.”
She was however not bitter about it and wished Rashid the very best, “I sincerely wish Director Rashid the best life has to offer, you are an incredible human being, you deserve to be happy and you also deserve someone better. May Allah open doors for you, and may you never lack amin.”
This is not their first-time partying ways. In December last year they announced they had broken up only to rekindle their love again this year. Moreover, in July Nasra posted a photo of her in a hospital bed saying she had lost their baby, “Losing my little angel before I even met him/her makes it even harder to process I was way too excited for this journey, I had everything, from the name to the sort of life he/she would have all figured out in my mind. Oh how I wish I just saw your little face, my baby,” she wrote.
