Commenting on recent viral videos showing Ahad and Sajal appearing together at a public event, Asif Raza Mir expressed his family’s decision to refrain from reacting emotionally. “We are mature enough not to dwell on it,” he explained. “Relationships sometimes work and sometimes don’t. The important thing is to heal and move on—without scratching old wounds.”
With his remarks, Asif Raza Mir not only offered a glimpse into the personal side of one of Pakistan’s most admired acting families but also conveyed a message of emotional intelligence, healing, and professional integrity in the face of public scrutiny.
