Mohammed Shami, who was regarded to be a fine gentleman, came under the scanner in 2018. His wife, Hasin Jahan, accused him of domestic violence and extra-marital affairs. There was an extensive list of allegations on him and he was surrounded by all sorts of controversies back then.

At this point in time, Hasin also revealed that Shami tried to commit suicide much before they met. She said that the pacer was in a relationship with his paternal aunt’s sister-in-law’s daughter. Apparently, Shami tried to kill himself as he wanted to marry her but his family came in between and prevented him from doing so.
