Filmmaker Wajahat Rauf said he is proud of his son, singer and actor Aashir Wajahat, jokingly describing their dynamic as "reverse nepotism" and admitting that he is often recognised because of Aashir.

In an interview, Rauf opened up about his son's growing popularity in the entertainment industry, saying he is glad Aashir carved out his own path to success. Saying he is often recognised as Aashir's father, Rauf told the host, "I'm very happy you introduced me that way, that he is the father of a huge star. This might be reverse nepotism. It is a very good thing."

Reflecting on his family's experiences with fans, Rauf shared that they are now often recognised because of Aashir's success in music and his recent role in the drama Kafeel. "People used to come up to me for pictures, but ever since Aashir released his song Sadqay, nobody asks for me. I thank God for this, that they are interested in him," the filmmaker joked.
