Ali Abbas jokes about having a crush on Mahira Khan and how she didn’t care
Television actor Ali Abbas recently shared insights into why women seem to naturally gravitate towards him during a recent appearance on Imran Ashraf’s show. With candid honesty and no reservations, the Guddu star stated, “It has nothing to do with my looks. But the thing is, I have always respected women.”
Expanding on his demeanor off-screen, Ali further explained, “When a man opens a door for a woman, or pulls out a chair for her, or simply asks about her well-being – I believe that is sufficient.”
Ali elaborated that his gentlemanly demeanor translated well into his acting, allowing him to effortlessly portray romantic scenes. “People believe I excel in romance,” he expressed. “Many actors have praised my romantic performances, and let me tell you, only someone with a big heart can excel as an actor!”
In a playful manner, Ali humorously mentioned his long-standing admiration for showbiz star Mahira Khan, jokingly claiming he had been in love with her “ever since she was a VJ.” However, he humorously lamented that his affection was not reciprocated. He then playfully declared actor Iqra Aziz as his current crush, highlighting the beauty of love. “Love keeps you youthful, happy, and grounded,” he shared with the audience.
Despite his playful remarks about other celebrities, Ali assured the audience of his contentment in his marriage to his wife, Hamna. “My true love is my wife,” he declared, receiving cheers from the crowd. In a jesting tone, he added, “Now, she’s the one holding the door open for me and asking when I’ll be off to shoot!” Nevertheless, he emphasized the strength of his relationship, crediting Hamna as his pillar of support. “She is the reason I am whole,” he concluded.
The son of renowned actors Waseem Abbas and Saba Hameed, Ali initially faced resistance from his father when expressing his desire to pursue a career in showbiz. Despite completing a law degree and briefly working in an office, Ali ultimately transitioned to television production before embarking on his acting journey. Beginning his acting career in 2014, Ali’s most recent role is in the television drama Baylagaam, where he portrays the lead character, Afnan.
