As the year 2023 comes to an end, Pakistani actor and former model Mikaal Zulfiqar has just the life advice for anyone in search of a prospective romantic partner. Appearing as a guest on a talk show with host-actor Imran Ashraf, Mikaal emphasised the importance of knowing someone and building a genuine connection before considering marriage.
“I would suggest just one thing: get to know the person you’re planning to marry,” the actor dispensed his wisdom. “It’s important to know the person before you consider [marriage],” Mikaal added. The celebrity further iterated how everyone should take their time before taking the big leap. “This decision should not be made in haste…Just know the person and know yourself,” he added.
Mikaal tied the knot with Sara Bhatti in 2010. In 2017, the Sherdil actor announced that he and his wife had gotten divorced shortly after rumours about the couple’s relationship began to circulate on the internet. In a Facebook post, Mikaal said that he and Sara decided to officially end their marriage after a long separation.
“Wanted to say this for a while. Finally found the courage to do so,” the actor penned in the short note. “Sad to announce, unfortunately my marriage of 6 years has ended. After a long separation and despite efforts from both ends, things could not be resolved, which has resulted in divorce.”
In October, Mikaal featured as a guest in The Knock Knock Show, where he contended that the Indian film industry and its filmmakers have often exploited Pakistani artists. Zulfiqar made his Bollywood debut with Naseeruddin Shah’s 2007 offering, Shoot on Sight and later starred in Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher’s 2015 action film Baby.
“India always takes advantage of Pakistani actors, either you are made to do something that shows you are a Pakistani or your role is portrayed in such a way,” he said.
Mikaal added, “To be honest, as far as what I have seen in my career, I think Pakistani actors are not on an equal footing in Indian films. I am speaking for the last 10-15 years, only. I don’t mind working across but if we aren’t given equal opportunities as our Indian counterparts. Just for a supporting role if you are made it do something that will be made fun of in Pakistan, then I am happy to be working only in our films and shows.”
