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.”
