Shami was born on 3 September 1990 to Tousif Ali Ahmed and his wife Anjuman Ara Begum in Sahaspur Ali Nagar village in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh. He has a sister, Sabina Anjum, and two brothers, Mohammed Haseeb Ahmad and Mohammed Kaif. 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Jahan lodged a complaint at the Jadavpur police station, leveling charges of domestic violence, infidelity, attempted murder, and marital rape against Shami. In response, Shami vehemently denied all the allegations on both his Facebook page and Twitter handle. He asserted that the accusations were part of a conspiracy designed to damage his reputation. 8 9  In January 2023, a Kolkata court ordered Mohammed Shami to pay a monthly alimony of ₹1,30,000 to Hasin Jahan. This sum includes ₹50,000 as personal alimony to Jahan and the remaining ₹80,000 as maintenance costs for their daughter Aairah Shami, who resides with her mother. 10 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
