Age is just a number, says Ahad Raza Mir
In an interview with Faridoon Shahryar, Ahad Raza Mir shared his views on whether a large age gap matters in a romantic relationship. "I don't think so. I think age at one point is just a number, really. I think we look at age sometimes as if it's this hard and fast rule about how old someone should be or how young they should be," he said. Adding that he knows couples who are 12 years apart and some who are 6 years apart, he said, "I think when two people come together, when it makes sense, when there's love there, it doesn't matter. Looking at a lot of couples around me, age is not really a thing as long as those two people love each other." Talha, Ahad's character in Meem Se Mohabbat, is significantly older than his co-star Dananeer Mobeen's character, Roshi. Despite this fact, the two are praised for their onscreen chemistry. Speaking more on his character's archetype, he said, "There's a reason that this type of male character is brooding or arrogant, that he's cruel to one person but loving to another." He credits the story and the people he works with for enhancing his ability to do justice to a character. "The story really allows me to dig into a character and ask myself questions about why my character is acting a certain way." But praise and recognition also make room for criticism, though Ahad takes it all with a stride. "I don't find that I censor myself in any way. When it comes to judgement and criticism, I think that's going to happen no matter what. People aren't going to like everything I do. I might even have to bring some people to my side by doing better work," he acknowledged. The Ehde Wafa actor added that the roles he picks up are always close to his heart. "If it's a story that needs to be told or if it's a character that I think I haven't explored before, then I hundred per cent go for it. But on a societal level I think that I have a very open mind. I don't necessarily restrict myself when it comes to work," he said. Diving into the impact that his upbringing in both Canada and Pakistan has had on his mindset, he added, "You kind of understand both places differently, and you also realise that it's not fair to compare. Every country has its pros and cons. You have to be sensitive of where you are."

Ahad Raza Mir stuns fans with rare IG spree
Ahad Raza Mir, who has a habit of disappearing from social media, is active on Instagram again, and fans can't help but be sceptical. In a photo shared on Tuesday, the Yaqeen Ka Safar actor shared two photos of himself, clad in a padded jacket, casual t-shirt and jeans, and sunglasses, with the wind making a mess of his hair. "Yeah, I'm a little lost," he wrote. The top comment? "Your account definitely got hacked." Other fans seemed to echo the sentiment, with one writing, "This can't be Ahad. I refuse to believe it's him posting these!" Another fan posed, "Ahad Raza Mir, are you okay? So many posts in one month?" While the actor's usual inactivity left his fans questioning the sudden burst of posts, his peers had other things to point out. "Your hair's hairing," wrote Iqra Aziz, to which Ahad replied with a promising "My hair's just getting started." Meanwhile, his Ehde Wafa co-star Osman Khalid Butt hilariously remarked, "Babygirl?" The fans seemed to agree, spamming Osman's comment with laughing emojis. Maintaining the joke, Ahad replied, "Come, save me." The fanbase's fondness for Ahad offers something new under every post. Under the Ye Dil Mera actor's second latest post, which was a carousel of his time in Japan, fans couldn't help but voice out their grievances after the recent episode of Meem Se Mohabbat. Ahad plays a single father, Talha, in the serial, which also stars Dananeer Mobeen as Roshi. "Here's Sir Talha, enjoying his life after traumatising the audience," a fan wrote. "Talha after giving us depression," echoed another. But in the end, the melancholic admirers also couldn't get enough of their favourite star's charm. "Ahad posting such a cute thread made my day," a user wrote. Though, certain truths needed to be acknowledged as another user joked, "Ahad, you posted content for a whole year. Now, it's time to hibernate."

Pampered with two cakes, Osman sat surrounded by close family as he flashed a bright smile to the camera. "With the family," he wrote in French, adding his birth date to the caption. Celebrity friends were quick to dispense birthday wishes to the Baaghi actor. "Happy birthday, brother!" wrote Anaa actor Usman Mukhtar. "A happy birthday and blessed years ahead," wished veteran actor Simi Raheal. Meanwhile, Ehde Wafa co-star Zara Noor Abbas sneaked in a cheeky reference to the project in her wish. "Happy birthday, Malik Shahzain," she wrote, nodding to Osman's character in the serial. Even fans poured an abundance of wishes and compliments. "Happy belated birthday! That first picture is such a good snap with the sparklers framing you," a user noted, referring to the birthday star's wholesome solo photo, whereas another zeroed in on the family portrait by saying, "That second picture is everything I was waiting for." Followers even penned thoughtful notes for Osman, with many fondly invoking his nickname, 'Obi'. "Happy birthday to an incredible talent and an even more amazing person!" wrote a fan. "On your special day, I want to thank you for sharing your gift with the world. Your passion, dedication, and kindness have inspired me in ways you'll never know. Here's to another year of shining bright, breaking barriers, and touching hearts. May your day be filled with love, laughter, and all your favourite things. You deserve to be celebrated!" Some fans couldn't help but channel Osman's own comedic nature as they wished him well. "Two cakes? A poetic balance of depth and comedy - just like you! Hope your birthday was a perfect masterpiece. Happy belated birthday, Obi!" a user wrote. While the Aunn Zara actor did manage to offer his individual thanks to some, he also offered his collective gratitude with one final message in the comments section. "Thank you everyone for the lovely wishes - my birthday was actually last Sunday but it's been a crazy busy week (if you know, you know) so get ready for a content dump," he teased. As of late, Osman has been keenly involved in the wedding festivities of industry peer Ahmed Ali Akbar. Standing with the groom's side, he was spotted in photos with other celebrities like singer Uzair Jaswal and Usman Mukhtar.
