Fahad Mustafa jokes that Kubra Khan’s ‘Jeeto Pakistan’ appearance will lead to her marriage

Host dubbed himself ‘baba’ and told ‘Alif’ actor she has his blessings

The Jeeto Pakistan League has taken an unexpected turn as actor Kubra Khan finds herself at the centre of marriage speculations following a humourous exchange with host Fahad Mustafa. Kubra, who recently assumed the role of captain for Team Islamabad in JPL, received Fahad's tongue-in-cheek blessings during a lively segment of the show, triggering a wave of social media frenzy.

In a circulating clip from the game show, he playfully suggests Kubra's imminent nuptials, hinting at the recent marriages of Pakistani celebrities Ushna Shah, Sana Javed and cricketer Shoaib Malik, all of which occurred post their involvement in the show. 

Responding to the Alif actor’s laugh after he asked her when would she tie the knot, Fahad quipped, “Now that you’ve come here, it will happen. We give you our aasheerwaad (blessings), baba will make it happen,” in a reference to his perceived role in connecting Sana Javed and Shoaib Malik.

The light-hearted moment has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with fans delighting in the banter and flooding the comments section with witty remarks. Many users jest that JPL has transformed into a matchmaking show, given Fahad's track record of seemingly orchestrating matches among its participants.

Marriage, however, does not seem to be headlining Kubra’s list of priorities currently. In February, the Jannat Se Aagay actor sat down for a candid chat with host Yasir Hussain on her romantic prospects. When asked if she believes in true love, she replied by quoting a dialogue from her drama Alif where Sajal Aly’s character tells someone, “It’s unbelievable that you have never been in love” and is met with a cynical response, “I have, this is why I don’t believe in it.”

The actor’s pragmatism extends to her thoughts about marriage. “I have stopped planning things in life. I planned once, it didn’t work out. I’m not gonna plan again. Whenever Allah wants it, it will happen.”
