From an ugly-breakup with Melvin Lewis to quitting showbiz: Sana Khan’s controversial life before she got married

Sana Khan has embarked on a new journey and is enjoying every bit of parenthood with husband Anas Saiyed. The couple welcomed a baby boy on July 5. Even though the former actress is living a low-key life right now, she has been embroiled in many controversies in the past. From a public breakup, to getting trolled for her clothing choices, here’s a look at Sana Khan’s controversial life before her marriage.

Sana Khan entered the glamour industry when she was very young. She started her career as a model when she was only 18. She had acted in 18 movies over 5 different languages and have been a part of over 50 ad films. One of her most loved projects of all time has been reality show Bigg Boss 6.

Sana Khan appeared on Bigg Boss and became a household name because of her journey in the reality show. The actress received both love and hate while she was a part of the show. One of her most controversial moments was when fellow Bigg Boss 6 contestant Aashka was seen applying a balm on Sana’s chest. It led to rumours of them been romantically linked. However, they denied the claims and revealed that it was just a helpful gesture by Aashka as she (Sana) needed it. There were several such moments for which netizens raised eyebrows at her.

The former Bigg Boss 6 contestant was mistaken for a Pakistani actress (with the same name) who passed away in a road accident. She was bombarded with phones and messages from her close ones and fans after the fake news of her ‘death’ surfaced the internet. Sana was shocked to see the news and made a clarification on social media saying, “People were dedicating ‘Rest in Peace’ messages for me on social media. I’ve been getting calls from everywhere. I had to clarify that it’s not me.”

Another big controversy involving Sana Khan was the one where she was trolled for an advertisement. She was seen in an inner-wear advertisement and many even bashed her for “religious beliefs” and called her out for her clothing choices.

Sana Khan and Melvin Lewis dated for almost a year and were pretty open about their relationship on social media. However, the two had a very public breakup as Melvin was allegedly cheating on her with multiple women. She even revealed how he used to ill treat her in front of her friends.

Sana didn't spare her ex-boyfriend at the time and decided to expose him in-front of the world. She even opened up about it on her Instagram live-streams but also in several interviews. She even shared some personal messages of Melvin. She accused him of ‘getting a woman pregnant’ and cheating on her ‘with multiple women.’

Sana was pretty depressed after her breakup with Melvin. She started following the path of religion. In 2020, she decided to quit showbiz to follow her spiritual path and ‘serve humanity.’ She announced the news through a pot on social media. This left everyone shocked. The post read, “I declare today that from today onwards, I have resolved to say goodbye to my Showbiz lifestyle forever and serve humanity and follow the order of my Creator. All brothers and sisters are requested to pray for me to Allah to accept my repentance and grant me the true ability to live in accordance with my determination of spending my life following the commandments of my Creator and in the service of humanity, and grant me perseverance in it.”

_{Sana got married to Anas Saiyad in secret ceremony in 2020. The actress shared photos of her wedding and announced the good news to her followers. This came right after her decision to quit showbiz. The actress was brutally trolled for her martial choice after she posted pictures with Mufti Anas Saiyad on Instagram.}
