Zara eyes husband Asad in Bollywood

Pakistani actor Zara Noor Abbas has sparked a hot debate after she revealed in a recent interview with Wasi Shah that she has an unexpected wish: to see her husband, Asad Siddiqui, cozying up to Bollywood queens Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt on screen. Suffice to say, her bold statement has raised eyebrows across social media.

During the candid interview where Zara talked all things personal and showbiz, the Badshah Begum actor showed a refreshingly modern take on relationships, shrugging off any qualms about Asad’s romantic roles. When asked if she ever puts restrictions on his on-screen chemistry, Zara firmly quipped, “No, no, in fact, more than willing, I pray that my husband scores an intimate scene with Deepika Padukone or Alia Bhatt.”

“I’d be the proud wife cheering him on.” Closing with a dash of wit, Zara emphasised, “It’s all part of the job. He knows his boundaries, and honestly, who am I to say how he should go about his work?” Her candid remarks have certainly added spice to the entertainment chatter, leaving fans and critics alike buzzing.

Earlier, Zara made headlines when she divulged her tumultuous relationship with meat in an Eid special television show. “To this day, I have never touched meat,” she confessed on the show. Despite this, she expressed excitement about visiting her parents this Eid. “On both paternal and maternal sides of the family, my parents are the eldest, so the whole family visits us. This is how Eid goes in our family, but I don’t like going to the kitchen on Eid.”

The Standup Girl actor also shared a charming anecdote about her typical kitchen habits, or lack thereof. “Normally too, I don’t frequent the kitchen,” she admitted. “My husband often asks, ‘When are you going to cook something for me?’ But it’s my plan that this Eid, I will cook namkeen gosht for him.” Zara explained that her choice of dish was influenced by her husband’s and his brothers’ love for meat, making namkeen gosht a perfect fit for the occasion.
