Ahsan Khan has urged men to actively support their wives by investing in their education, encouraging financial independence and helping them pursue personal ambitions instead of limiting them to traditional household roles. Speaking in a recent interview, the Pakistani actor said a strong marriage is built on partnership, where both spouses grow and succeed together.

The actor stressed that husbands should never feel insecure if their wives become more successful or earn more than they do. Ahsan Khan said true success comes from lifting each other up rather than holding a partner back.

“If you are doing well in life, hold your wife’s hand and take her with you. Don’t leave her in the kitchen or expect her to only take care of the children. Help her become independent and stand beside you,” he said.

Sharing personal experiences, Khan revealed that he has always encouraged his wife, Fatima, to develop new skills and follow her interests. Although she graduated from the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), she later wanted to study baking, and Khan said he supported her by arranging professional training and purchasing the equipment she needed.

When she later became interested in interior design, Khan encouraged her to enrol in another course and even offered to stay home with their children while she attended classes.

“I want my wife to become even more successful than me,” he said, adding that he also encouraged her to become more independent by teaching her to drive, manage household bills and handle banking tasks herself.

The actor argued that Pakistani society should embrace a healthier view of marriage, where financial success is not determined by gender. He said there is nothing wrong if a wife earns more than her husband, as mutual support should matter more than income differences.

Khan also criticised the way couples often speak negatively about one another in public or among friends, saying such behaviour shapes unhealthy perceptions of relationships.

Recalling one of his previous viral interviews, he explained that a light-hearted comment about his wife not cooking for him had been taken out of context, creating misleading headlines. He emphasised that marriage should focus on companionship, trust and respect rather than outdated expectations.

During the interview, Khan also discussed his latest television drama, Aap Ki Izzat, where he portrays the character Tabish. Comparing the role with his acclaimed performance in Udaari, he said Tabish is a morally complex character rather than a traditional villain.

He explained that while Tabish makes serious mistakes, the character also has the capacity for redemption, adding that people should be given the opportunity to change instead of being permanently judged for their actions.

Khan described Aap Ki Izzat as a story that reflects the realities of many Pakistani households, particularly marriages where women experience emotional neglect or abuse. He believes audiences can relate to the drama because similar situations affect many families.

The actor also praised his co-star Urwa Hocane, calling her an exceptionally talented performer who deserves more opportunities. He commended her for choosing a realistic and imperfect character instead of a stereotypical glamorous lead, saying her performance adds authenticity to the drama.

Khan concluded by asking viewers not to judge his character too quickly, hinting that future episodes would reveal a different side of Tabish as the story develops.
