His remarks came after a major development in the drama involving Zamil and Zaryab, played by Durefishan Saleem. After being in a relationship for years, Zamil betrayed Zaryab after deciding that he wanted a more religious partner. He eventually married another woman secretly in Pakistan, leaving Zaryab devastated.
Addressing men directly, Khan said seeking popularity as a “hero” or “playboy” should never come at the expense of another person’s emotional wellbeing. He stressed that breaking a woman’s trust and leaving her with emotional trauma is not something to celebrate.
The actor ended his message with three reminders for men: to be respectful, remain honest and strive to become better people.
