‘I met Quaid-e-Azam as a child,’ says Faisal Rehman

Veteran Pakistani actor Faisal Rehman recently made a surprising claim during a podcast appearance.

While speaking on a private TV channel’s talk show, he revealed that he once met Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah during his childhood. This statement left both the host and the viewers stunned.

The actor revealed this when the host asked him about his age. With his signature charm, Faisal replied,
“I won’t tell you my age, but I’ll give you a hint: I met Quaid-e-Azam when I was a child. You can figure out my age from that… but it’s a little less than 80.”

He added casually, “I was very young when I met Quaid-e-Azam.”

The claim sparked immediate reactions online, with fans expressing disbelief, amusement, and curiosity.

While some took it as a humorous comment, others speculated whether it might actually be true, considering Faisal Rehman’s long-standing presence in the industry.

He also opened up about a topic fans have often wondered about: his decision to never get married.

Addressing the question directly, he explained,

“My decision not to marry wasn’t because of a broken heart, but to avoid any interference in my life from another person.”

Faisal, who has been admired for his timeless looks and romantic roles for over four decades, shared that although he did consider marriage in the past, he ultimately chose independence.

“I’ve given it thought, and things even moved forward a few times,” he said. “But I realised I enjoy living freely. When you’ve lived independently for so long, it becomes hard to let someone else into your space.”

He made it clear that he doesn’t believe marriage is wrong; it simply wasn’t the right path for him.
