'Aap Ki Izzat' Star Ahsan Khan's powerful take on marriage wins hearts
Pakistani actor Ahsan Khan has won widespread praise after sharing his heartfelt views on marriage, equality and the importance of supporting women after marriage.
Speaking during a recent interview, the Aap Ki Izzat star said a real man is someone who supports his wife, helps her grow and walks beside her through every stage of life. He added that a successful marriage is built on partnership, where both husband and wife continue to grow together instead of one person moving ahead while the other is left behind.
Explaining his views further, Ahsan Khan said a real man is someone who holds his wife's hand and walks beside her through every stage of life. According to him, marriage should never limit a woman's ambitions or personal development. Instead, he believes husbands should encourage their wives to continue their education, build careers, and explore new opportunities after marriage.
Ahsan pointed out that many women are expected to focus only on household responsibilities, leaving little room for personal or professional growth. He said that if a husband wants his wife to become confident, knowledgeable, and successful, he must create an environment where she can learn, grow, and achieve her goals instead of restricting her to domestic duties.
The actor also spoke about a common issue he believes exists in many marriages. According to Ahsan, husbands often gain education, experience, confidence, and wider exposure to the world, while their wives remain confined to the home.
Over time, he explained, this creates an intellectual and emotional gap between partners that could have been avoided if both had been given equal opportunities to grow.
He believes a husband and wife should move forward together, supporting one another through every challenge and celebrating each other's achievements. In his view, relationships become stronger when both partners continue learning, evolving, and encouraging one another rather than competing or limiting each other's potential.
His remarks quickly resonated with social media users, many of whom praised his balanced and respectful outlook on marriage.
Ahsan Khan is currently receiving praise for his performance as Tabish in the HUM TV drama Aap Ki Izzat. During the same conversation, he also spoke about choosing the project, reuniting with Urwa Hocane, and the strong audience reaction to his character.
The actor revealed that viewers have become so invested in Tabish that some have even directed harsh comments at him online because of the character's actions, something he considers proof that the role has left a lasting impression on audiences.
