Actor Usama Khan isn't just known for his prodigious talent, he’s also making headlines with his candid thoughts on love and life. 

 

Appearing as a guest on Nadan Maizban hosted by Danish Nawaz, Yasir Nawaz and Nida Yasir, the Ghair actor clears the air about his personal life.

 

 “Then, you (Nida Yasir) congratulated Zainab on her engagement, but after the break, you changed the topic, and people thought I was engaged. That was a big misunderstanding, and it’s been following me ever since,” Usama Khan clarified.

 

In addition to addressing this misconception, Usama shared some insights into what he looks for in an ideal life partner.

 

Usama also opened up about a more personal matter his father’s COVID diagnosis. He explained that during the pandemic, his family kept the diagnosis a secret from his father, telling him only that he had an infection.

 

 “My father was sick and had COVID, but no one told him it was COVID. They just said he had an infection, that he was having trouble breathing, and had an oxygen cylinder. This was during the COVID days,” he revealed.

 

He further explained how he reassured his father when asked if he had COVID, saying, “I was sitting with my father, and he asked me, 'Did I get COVID?' I told him, 'No, it's just an infection, it’ll get better.' He said, 'Okay, fine,' and he was calm. But he had no idea what was really going on.”

 

Despite these misunderstandings, Usama continues to remain open about his personal life, making it clear what qualities he values in a life partner while clearing up misconceptions.

 

 Earlier, Usama Khan, the hero of Pakistani film Nayab, has revealed how rumors about his engagement with co-star Zainab Shabbir spread.

 

Appearing as a guest on Nida Yasir’s Good Morning show.

 

Talking about the rumors of his engagement with co-star Zainab Shabbir during the show, he said, “The rumors of me and Zainab’s engagement were spread due to a misunderstanding by the anchor of the show.”

 

Nida admitted that the rumors were spread because of her mistake. “I congratulated them on their engagement on the show, but later I found out the truth,” she confessed.

 

Once Nida Yasir finished speaking, Usama Khan added, “Everyone in the industry was also convinced that Zainab and I were engaged, but I denied the rumors myself.”

 

He continued, “I told everyone that I am not engaged, but I am looking for a girl.”

 

He jokingly added, “If there is a girl watching the show now who is interested in me, she can also contact me.”
