Personal life[]

Shahid's first wife, to whom he has been married for some 50 years, and to whom he remains married, is Begum Munaza Shahid. They were both very young when they were married, and the match was arranged by their families in the usual south Asian manner. They are blessed with three sons, Kamran, Imran and Zaheer. Their son Kamran is a noted TV anchor and hosts a show on the Duniya News (Pakistan) TV channel called On The Front with Kamran Shahid.

Islamic law permits a Muslim man to have up to four wives concurrently. In the early 1980s, while married to his first wife, Shahid also married and divorced three popular Pakistani actresses, Zumurrud, Ishrat Chaudhry and Babra Sharif. Begum Munaza Shahid accepted these marriages as par for the course, receiving and bidding goodbye to each of her co-wives with equanimity and unfailing self-confidence. She attributed her equanimity to the fact that she was Shahid's traditional wife, in whom is vested the honour of the entire family, and who is bound by long-standing links of affection and honor to every member of the family - Shahid's parents, uncles, aunts, siblings and cousins - whereas the other wives were from the entertainment industry, and had a relationship only with Shahid, which relationship also was based on attraction. She is said to have attributed his multiple marriages to the fact that her husband is a good-looking and wealthy film star. Indeed, Shahid was the most famous in the film industry due to his multiple marriages with different actresses.
