“We never spoke then…”: Amar Khan discusses his connection with his father, who is alienated.

In a moving interview with former supermodel and current businesswoman Frieha Altaf for her podcast “FWhy,” Amar Khan revealed that her parents divorced when she was just two years old, leaving her mother, seasoned actress Fareeha Jabeen, to raise her alone at that time without any help from her father.

Khan said, “My parents separated when I was two, I guess,” recalling her upbringing in a Lahore family home with her maternal side of the family. I thus didn’t get to see my Abba too much. He had family in New York, which is why he was there.

She said, “I was raised by a single parent.”

The “Baddua” actor, who studied cinema, revealed that she had always wanted to be an actor but was hesitant to tell her mother about it because of all the struggles she had to face to become an actor.

She entered this field out of enthusiasm when she first started. She was a single mother, though, so she would accept any role—after all, it was her bread and butter—even if it was not the most important one, Khan added.

Khan shared a poignant story from her school days in which she was denied the opportunity to take examinations because she had not paid the semester fees. Khan appreciated this privilege, noting that her mother’s sacrifices had cleared the path for her daughter’s professional goals.

She revealed, “He wrote to me in a lengthy email when he learned that I was going into show business. We didn’t know each other well, but we had a formal connection. He said that my entering into show business like my mother would unintentionally bring dishonor to the family. “I don’t think I’ll bring shame to Mom especially and of course not to you also,” I responded in response.

Because of the way mom had taught me, I was unable to break the ice with him, show him a great deal of respect, and be friendly with him. After that, we didn’t communicate. We haven’t communicated since I graduated from BNU at the time,” Khan said.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not allowed to use the resources of the Provincial Government for a party protest, according to the Interior Ministry.

On November 24, the PTI has scheduled a protest, and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur has declared his intention to participate.

The Federal Government arrested a number of Provincial Government officials who were ordered to participate in the violent protest in Islamabad by the PTI, and confiscated vehicles used by the KP Government against the state during the previous protest in October.

However, the Jinnah Supermarket Traders Union has petitioned the Islamabad High Court to halt the PTI demonstration in the capital and deem it unlawful.

In the petition, the head of the Traders Union has asked the court to rule that the PTI protest violates fundamental human rights by preventing companies from operating and removing the public’s ability to visit stores for necessities.

The petition asked the high court to protect the capital’s workers and PTI founder from unlawful protests.
