Marriage and personal life

While working at United Biscuits in 2002 she met the man who later converted to Islam and became her husband: Steve Hyde. "I knew instantly that Steve was the one," says Saira. "I had a mental tick list of what I wanted in a person. It was never about the looks although of course he is a handsome man. He was career-minded and I never wanted to be hanging around with a lazy slob. Keeping fit was a big part of his life, and mine, and he liked a hot curry. He ticked all my boxes." Her mother however was initially opposed to the union. "I never introduced Steve as a boyfriend," said Saira. "She was furious at first but she's come round. I was the first girl in my family to marry outside the culture."
