Women in my family made twice as much as males did: Ahmad Ali
During a guest visit on Masarrat Misbah’s show, Pakistani actor and comedian Ahmad Ali Butt—who is well-known for his wit and humor—recently shared his thoughts on housewives and business women. Ahmad clarified the influence of his mother Zil-e-Huma and his grandmother Noor Jehan, two well-known celebrities, on his childhood. Ahmad comes from a line of extraordinarily talented ladies.
Ahmad said in a recent interview that she was raised in a household where women outnumber males in terms of income and career, adding, “There was no’scene’ for men in our family.” As I have always stated, I was raised by powerful women. Even the breadwinners in our household made twice as much as males did.
“Even so, my family’s women never treated men badly,” the Chikkar actor emphasized, emphasizing how crucial it is to uphold respect. “The men knew full well what their own fears were.” Ahmad addressed a common dynamic in partnerships when a woman makes more money and emphasized her need to make her spouse feel safe. “It depends on the woman on how secure she can make him feel,” he said.
Ahmad also noted how uncommon it was to see the moms of his classmates being housewives, having grown up surrounded by these strong women. But as time went on, he developed a deep respect for housewives’ roles and saw them as much more important. “They don’t get time off; they are there 24/7,” he said.
The comedian emphasized the emotional toll that women bear and the permanent nature of a woman’s obligations in contrast to a man’s freedom of mobility. An individual have the ability to move about freely. A woman constantly takes her emotions with her and never leaves her baggage behind.
“To realize those emotions, if I can understand those emotions, it’s only because of my mother,” he said, attributing his emotional intelligence to his mother. that she gave me insight into the meaning and nature of these feelings.
Ahmad emphasized the value of men being emotionally open in a culture that is so focused on adhering to gender norms. He went on, “It’s critical to be emotionally honest. It’s reasonable that our culture demands that men act like men, yet a man ought to have emotional intelligence.
There is a growing need to discuss the importance of family values as more women seek employment. Ahmad’s remarks underline the necessity of expanding this conversation beyond personal decisions and emphasize the value of teamwork in establishing cultures and workplaces that enable women to succeed in both their personal and professional lives.
