The actor recently revealed in an interview with BBC Urdu, that his character ends up facing demise in almost every single one of his projects. He jokingly commented, “The first question I ask is which episode am I (the character) dying in.”
“The father has to die in every serial. Whenever you want to portray the heroine as the utmost victim, the first thing you do is cut off her support; she is left alone in the world to face her circumstances.” He added.
While speaking about Hum TV’s Sabaat, Ahmad also correlated to his own life.
“If I wasn’t a father to daughters, I wouldn’t have been able to portray these roles on screen. In my personal life, my wife and I decided we will give our daughters the best of education and the same has been reflected on television.”
