Pakistani actor Ahsan Khan has opened up about some of the most pressing social issues, including the need to empower daughters, unrealistic relationship expectations, and poor parenting practices. In a recent interview, the actor shared his views on the changing dynamics of relationships and how the younger generation is being affected by flawed upbringing.
Unrealistic Expectations Are Damaging Relationships
Ahsan Khan emphasized that many modern relationships break down over trivial matters, often due to unrealistic expectations between partners. He particularly criticized how men expect perfection from women, leading to dissatisfaction and emotional disconnect.
> “Boys often fall for an idealized version of a girl that exists only in their imagination. When reality doesn’t match their fantasy, they end the relationship,” Ahsan stated.
Girls Face Greater Challenges After Marriage
Speaking about gender roles, Ahsan noted that girls in our society face more pressure after marriage. Unlike men, who often remain in familiar surroundings, women must adjust to a new family, new customs, and an entirely different environment, which isn’t easy.
Parents Must Invest in Their Daughters’ Future
The actor pointed out a major gap in our social system: lack of investment in daughters’ empowerment. According to Ahsan, parents must raise girls in a way that they become independent, educated, and capable of handling life’s challenges on their own.
> “We need to make our daughters so strong that if they ever face divorce or the death of a spouse, they know how to survive without depending on anyone.”
Empowerment Doesn’t Mean Rejecting Culture or Religion
Ahsan Khan made it clear that empowering women doesn’t mean they should turn away from religion, culture, or social values. Instead, empowerment should equip them with the strength and confidence to face reality with dignity and resilience.
The Role of Parents in Shaping Young Minds
Reflecting on his own childhood, Ahsan admitted that even he wasn’t fully prepared by his parents for life. It was life experience that taught him most of what he knows today. He called on parents to pay more attention to raising sons responsibly, not just daughters.
True Love Takes Time and Understanding
On the topic of love, Ahsan said that true love is not instant. It develops over time, through understanding, shared experiences, and mutual respect. The idea of love at first sight is often just tempor
ary attraction, not lasting emotional connection.
