This is from his biography review:
Shah shows courage in writing about his failed first marriage, to Parveen Murad, who was 15 years older than him, and about becoming a father at 19. He admits he cringes when he thinks about the selfishness with which he acted after his first daughter, Heeba, was born. Shah did not see Heeba for the first 12 years of her life. She now shares his passion for theatre.

This is from an article:
According to a report, at the age of 20, Naseer married Manara Sikri, who was 15 years older to him. Manara was also known as Parveen Murad and was the sister of famous actress Surekha Sikri. When Nasir expressed his desire to marry Manara in front of his parents, he had to face their anger due to the age gap and Parveen was a divorcee with children from a previous marriage, living with her family in Iran.
Overcoming those obstacles, Naseer married Manara 1969. After one year of marriage, they had a daughter named Heeba Shah. Heeba was just one year old when due to a rift Naseer and Parveen parted their ways.
The couple got separated but did not file for divorce. Since Shah was not in a financial condition to provide the large sum of money in one go, it took him 12 years to sum up the money for Parveen’s alimony, and secure a divorce.
Meanwhile, Manara and her daughter shifted to Iran.
After separation, Naseer joined the National School of Drama for acting courses. He started his new life.
