It’s not uncommon for Pakistani men to dictate their wife’s career given the patriarchal conditioning. So when such comments emerged about Muneeb Butt and Aimen Khan, the Qarar actor responded to address the rumors.
There’s speculation that Muneeb Butt made his wife quit acting as the starlet has been focused on social media endorsements and her clothing line since marriage. All accusations that he denies.
“People have turned me into a villain, saying, ‘Muneeb Butt has made Aiman Khan quit acting.’ There is nothing like that.”
The Yaariyan actor opened up about receiving backlash from Aiman Khan’s fans. People accused Muneeb Butt of controlling his wife’s acting career. In a recent interview with BBC Urdu, the Baddua actor revealed that he does not partake in the Ishq Tamasha diva’s career choices.
“If my wife wants to give time to her family, to her child and enjoy family life, then I support her in that decision.”
According to the Daldal actor, he doesn’t ask her to work or to quit work. She makes her own decisions
“I don’t ask her not to work or to work. She has the leverage to make her own decisions. If she does not want to work, she is not working. If she will want to, that is her own decision. I don’t interfere in that.”
Though the actor does believe he has certain rights as the Khwab Saraye star’s husband.
“I believe I have rights on Aiman as a husband, but I never want to impose anything on her. She has the right to live her life how she wants.”
