She married a Pakistani citizen, Reza Pervaiz, in 1990. She then stayed in Karachi for while, where the couple had a son, Armaan in 1992.

Sadiya believes that her divorce is the first electronic termination of marriage in India but felt relieved as she had already broken up with her ex-husband long back.
