Mansha Pasha’s love story with Jibran Nasir began with an online friendship

Actor and activist started as friends and then fell in love, exchanging vows at the altar of holy matrimony in 2021

During a recent guest appearance on the FWhy Podcast, actor Mansha Pasha revealed new details of how her relationship with her husband Mohammad Jibran Nasir began on the internet, evolved over time, and eventually culminated in marriage.

The Laal Kabootar star shared with host Frieha Altaf snippets of her journey from nurturing a deep friendship with Jibran online and offline to tying the knot with the famous lawyer and civil rights activist.

With a conversation spanning an hour and 19 minutes, Mansha and Frieha bonded over their shared experiences and observations, collected over the many years the two have worked in the Pakistani entertainment industry. Mansha spoke honestly about her childhood, early family life, and how she started out as a line producer and then slowly made her way into mainstream acting by taking up small and supporting roles.      

As the discussion between the artist and the CEO of Catwalk Event Management, the topic of mental health and healing was also delved into, with Mansha revealing that she suffered through a very difficult time following the breakdown of her first marriage. She shared that it took her  a few years to overcome the heartbreak and truly heal from that ordeal.

From the topic of struggling with poor mental health and healing from traumatic life experiences, the former model and host then jumped to the subject of the Zindagi Gulzar Hai actor’s marriage to Jibran. She started off by praising Jibran for his hand-on, on-ground activism and then asking the Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida actor about how she met her husband.

In response to this, Mansha revealed that their friendship began online and then evolved further when they began to meet up at social gatherings or hangouts with some of their mutual friends: “We were already friends online and then we met through mutual friends.”

“We started off as just being friends but then very soon after that from both our sides, there was a mutual liking,” confirmed Mansha when asked if she and Jibran were friends prior to dating and getting married.

“But, you know, I had also gotten out of a difficult relationship, so we didn’t want to jump into it. We wanted to see how we are together,” added the Shehr-e-Zaat actor to elaborate on how the couple spent some time getting to know each other before they initiated any sort of commitment to one another.

The pair got married in April of 2021.
