According to Agha, her ancestors were in the film industry during pre-partition days. Meanwhile, Salma's latest husband, Manzar Shah, lives in Dubai.
Salma Agha lives in Mumbai, where her daughter Sasha is trying to gain a foothold in Bollywood films. Her present husband, Manzar Shah, is a Dubai-based businessman. Salma and Rahmat Khan got divorced in 2010, and in 2011, Salma Agha got married for a third time. They have two children together – Zara "Sasha" Agha Khan and Ali Agha Khan (Liaqat Ali Khan). After divorce from Javed Sheikh, Salma Agha married famous squash player Rahmat Khan in 1989. Her first husband was Javed Sheikh, with whom she had a rather brief and childless marriage in the 1980s. Apart from this relationship, Salma has been married three times. This relationship lasted many years, during which time Salma made her film debut, but it did not develop into marriage. Although Salma Agha is a distant relative of the Kapoors, the Kapoors do not acknowledge the relationship due to the fact that after Jugal Kishore Mehra (Salman Ahmed) abandoned his family and religion to marry Anwari Bai, his family cut off all ties with him.Īgha at the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2010Īgha had a long time relationship in the 1980s with London-based businessman Ayaz Sipra. Jugal Kishore Mehra was a first cousin of the Indian actors Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor, because their mother, Ramsarni Kapoor (née Mehra), was the sister of Jugal Kishore Mehra's (Salman Ahmed's) father. Since Anwari had a child, Jugal Kishore Mehra (Ahmed Salman) effectively became thestep- father of the infant Zarina/Nasreen. In order to marry Anwari, Jugal Kishore Mehra abandoned not only his family but also his religion he became a Muslim and took the name Ahmed Salman. Anwari and Rafiq Ghaznavi were divorced (or separated) after Zarina/Nasreen's birth, and Anwari then married a rich Hindu businessman named Jugal Kishore Mehra. He was given the title Aagha there, a kind of knighthood bestowed on a businessman of repute.” Her mother Nasreen (born as Zarina Ghaznavi) was the daughter of Rafiq Ghaznavi, a Pashtun musician, and his wife Anwari Bai Begum, who was one of the earliest actresses of Indian cinema, starring in Heer Ranjha (1932). She traces the origin of her surname ‘Aagha’, “My father (Liaqat Gul Tajik) traded in precious stones and antiques in Iran. Liaqat Gul Agha was a tradesman dealing in rugs and belonged to an Urdu speaking Muslim Pathan family based in Amritsar.
