Ali Rehman Khan recently appeared on Gohar Rasheed’s talk show where he shared insights about life, family, relationships, and social expectations. He revealed that his mother is his best friend, while he greatly admired his father and always sought his approval. According to him, mothers focus on nurturing children, whereas fathers teach them how to behave with others. This balance shaped his outlook on family dynamics.

He also disclosed that his father never discouraged him from acting but advised him to maintain a regular job alongside his acting career. Comparing parenting styles, Ali Rehman noted that today’s parents have become more like friends to their children, openly expressing their love. In contrast, earlier generations, especially fathers, maintained strict discipline and distance. This shift reflects changing cultural attitudes towards parenting.

Ali Rehman further addressed the societal expectations placed on men to hide their emotions. He said men are often expected to conceal their struggles, and if they express pain, they face ridicule. People question what is wrong because men are supposed to be strong and unaffected. This pressure creates challenges for men dealing with emotional difficulties in silence.

The actor also shared how broken relationships deeply affected his mental health in the past. It was not only romantic relationships but close bonds of all kinds that hurt him. He put his whole heart into every relationship and gave 100 percent, so when they ended, the pain was intense. Despite not being at fault, he often bore the blame, which took a toll on his psychological wellbeing.

Ali Rehman Khan is one of Pakistan’s popular actors. He started his career working at the United Nations before quitting his job to pursue acting full time. His fame rose through hit drama series like Diyar-e-Dil and Guroo, making him a household name. His candidness about personal struggles highlights the emotional realities many men face but seldom discuss openly.
