Actor and comedian Ahmad Ali Butt, known for his wit and humour, gave his two cents on career women during a guest appearance on a show. Coming from a family of exceptionally accomplished women, including his grandmother the renowned Noor Jehan and his mother Zil-e-Huma, both celebrated superstars, Ahmad shed light on the impact of these influential women on his upbringing.
He recounted growing up in a family where women outshone men both, professionally and financially, stating, “I have always said this, I have been raised by very strong women. They made twice as much as men.”
“Still, the women in my family never demeaned men,” the Chikkar actor underlined the importance of maintaining respect. Ahmad emphasised that it is her responsibility to ensure her partner feels secure. He remarked, “It’s on the woman on how secure she can make him feel.” The actor credited his mother for imparting emotional intelligence and urged the importance of emotional openness for men. “If I can understand those emotions, it’s only because of my mother. She taught me what these emotions mean, what they are,” he maintained and continued, “It’s very important to be emotionally open. In our society, we insist on men being men, which is fair, but a man should be emotionally aware.”
