Yasir Hussain and Iqra Aziz are one of showbiz’s beloved couples, yet the two hardly ever star as leads together onscreen.
Recently, Yasir got fans buzzing after spilling the tea on why he doesn’t share the screen with his superstar wife, Iqra Aziz, in TV dramas. In a recent chat, the actor-director, known for his wit and theater gigs like Monkey Business, got candid about their 10-11-year age gap. “I want her to work with actors her age,” Yasir said, adding he doesn’t want Iqra’s on-screen vibe to age up just because of him. Talk about a supportive hubby move.
Iqra Aziz, 27, is killing it in the rom-com Paradise on Express TV, while Yasir Hussain, 38, sticks to directing and stage work. The couple, married since 2019 after a swoon-worthy Lux Style Awards proposal, have teamed up before—think Jhooti when they were engaged and Aik Thi Laila, which Yasir directed. But he’s drawing a line at playing her love interest now. “Marriage is personal; I don’t want to flaunt that chemistry on TV,” he explained.
Fans on X are eating it up, with posts like, “Yasir’s respect for Iqra’s career is goals!” The duo, parents to son Kabir, keep their professional lives separate, with Yasir even saying he’d pause his career to support Iqra’s rise. With Iqra rumored to be eyeing a Netflix debut,
it’s clear Yasir’s cheering her on from the sidelines. Here’s to a power couple who knows how to balance love, work, and a little age-gap wisdom.
A rich guy doesn’t work with his rich wife . Oooh my gosh
