Rida and Syed decided to get married, but Rida’s parents were not in favour of their marriage as Syed belonged to a different community. Somehow, Rida convinced her parents to her marriage to Syed, and in 2013, they got engaged. In 2016, after being in a courtship period of around three years, Rida went to the US for some official work and her fiancé leaked her intimate video all over the internet. In an interview, on being asked about the leaked MMS controversy and the person behind it, Rida replied, My trust was broken by my fiancé. I had convinced my parents for him, and my mindset was conservative so I wanted to be with only one person. He wasn't even wealthy, but when he proposed to me, I accepted it. Three years after our engagement, he leaked my pictures when I was in the US. People urged me to do a press conference but I did not because it was his deed and my tragedy which will go with me to my grave." [7]Zee News

  The biggest lie she told was that I had assaulted her with a hot [clothes] iron. I have never attempted to physically harm her, I swear to Allah. The second biggest lie is that I had threatened to throw her off the third floor. I allowed my profession to suffer because of her. I went against my family for her.

On the contrary, she raised all these false allegations against me. She didn’t consider all the things I did for her.” ^[8]Lens
