KARACHI: Recently Love Aaj Kal Director Imtiaz Ali, separated from his wife, with the news spreading like wildfire through the social mediums. But the linking of his son to Pakistani Model Iman Ali seems to have hit a nerve with Ali’s family members.

According to Indian media sources Ali’s father said, “Imtiaz has gone to Belgium for a conference on international film promotion. He hasn’t told us anything about a rift with Preety.”

He further added that every divorce has several reasons behind it and that both his son and Preety are mature enough to deal with those problems.

“I am sure they will be able to handle the matter with grace. If any marriage is crumbling, there must be various reasons for it. Just the presence or absence of someone doesn’t break a marriage. As soon as Imtiaz returns from Belgium, we will ask him about the issue,” he said.

However, what really riled his most was the linking of his son to Model Iman. He was quoted as saying, “It wouldn’t be fair to link Imtiaz with anyone. Everyone is aware of the image Imtiaz has. Saying that he is involved with another lady is undignified.”
