Do Men Face The Same Challenges As Women In The Industry? Ali Rehman Khan Shares His Views
Ali Rehman Khan shared his thoughts on whether men face the same difficulties as women in the industry, such as harassment, favoritism, and gender biases. He acknowledged and said:
I can’t say that men face more harassment; of course, women bear the brunt of it—not just in our industry, but in society as a whole.

The advent of social media has somewhat improved the situation. Incidents of harassment have decreased, but Ali stressed that things are still far from perfect. He pointed out that increased awareness and visibility now mean perpetrators are less likely to escape consequences, as “even the walls have eyes.”
Ali also knows several male actors who struggle with limited opportunities and often turn to modeling due to the lack of acting roles. He believes the industry is challenging for everyone, especially newcomers. While he hasn’t personally experienced or heard much about harassment against men, he is sure it happens.
How Does Ali Rehman Khan View Love? What Does ‘Over’ In Love Mean To Him?
Ali Rehman Khan shared his intriguing perspective on love, emphasizing that there should be no “over” in a relationship. By this, he means that love shouldn’t involve negative possessiveness or toxic behavior. For Ali, a healthy relationship is built on trust, mutual respect, and understanding. He finds it unnecessary to constantly monitor a partner’s actions, like questioning where they’re going or why they’re going and so. This kind of behavior, according to him, leads to a toxic dynamic.
I think controlling each other’s lives in love is being over in love. Mind your own business. You should have trust.
Ali Rehman Khan
He believes that in an adult relationship, partners should give each other space, avoid narcissistic behaviors, and refrain from gaslighting. Ali sees love as an easy and natural bond where both individuals coexist peacefully without complicating life for one another. He explained how intense emotions in youth often lead to heartbreaks that feel overwhelming at the time. However, he emphasizes that true love should remain balanced and equal, with both partners giving and receiving in a way that feels right to them. For Ali, if love starts feeling burdensome or unequal, that’s when it becomes “over.”
Do Men Feel The Same Pressure As Women To Get Married? Ali Rehman Shares His Perspective
Ali Rehman Khan highlighted societal pressures surrounding marriage, noting that while the burden is often greater for women, men also face scrutiny. He explained that although his parents never pressured him, societal expectations weighed on him during his late 20s, especially when everyone around him discussed marriage. This pressure caused him to overthink, feel anxious about choosing the right person, and fear an unhappy marriage. Fortunately, his family supported his decision to wait until he felt ready.
I think there is a lot of blessing in marriage. It is in our religion. So, it should be done. It should be done with a lot of thought. And I think it should be done when you are ready to handle it. If you are very immature, then either you handle yourself or the marriage.
Ali Rehman Khan
Ali acknowledged that women face greater pressure to marry young, often due to constant questions from relatives. He humorously noted how some aunts make it their mission to inquire incessantly about one’s marital status. This relentless questioning adds to the stress women feel regarding marriage. He believes marriage is a blessing and should be entered into thoughtfully when both partners are mature and ready. He also discussed the challenges of the joint family system, suggesting newlyweds need time and space to build their relationship independently. This, he believes, strengthens the bond before integrating into the extended family.
Ali left our screens as Safeer and Shabbir, and we’re waiting to have a glimpse of him soon—let’s hope for it!
