Ahsan Khan's cryptic tattoo

Why the actor wants fans to keep guessing

Ahsan Khan, the multifaceted star of stage and screen, has always been known for his captivating roles and magnetic presence. But recently, it was not his acting prowess or hosting skills that had fans buzzing—it was a tattoo. On his latest appearance on Show Time with Ramiz Raja, Ahsan's ink became the centre of attention, sparking a wave of curiosity and speculation.

A fan, clearly smitten by the tattoo's allure, asked, "You have a tattoo, it's very attractive. What is its meaning?" Ahsan, ever the charmer, replied with a grin, "The answer is in the question. I got this tattoo because it's attractive and attracts attention."

But the fan wasn't ready to let the matter rest. "There must be some meaning behind it, right?" they pressed. In true Ahsan Khan fashion, he replied, "Yes, it has a meaning, but it's a very personal and spiritual one. It's related to something specific, so I didn't have it written explicitly… It's very close to my heart. But I don't tell anyone, so people just keep guessing."

Earlier, the Udaari actor grabbed headlines when a viral clip showed him busting a move with Bollywood icon Mumtaz. The cross-border duo, who have been good friends for a long time, came together to rekindle the magic of the 1968 hit Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche from the film Brahmachari. The clip sees Ahsan donning sunglasses and leading Mumtaz in a joyful dance reminiscent of the iconic song's original picturisation on Mumtaz and Shammi Kapoor.

The video captures Ahsan holding Mumtaz's hand, exuding an infectious joy that makes her laugh. Mumtaz, just like in the classic song opposite Shammi Kapoor years ago, chimes in with her signature lines "Acha?" and "Toh Kya?" adding a touch of nostalgia to the spontaneous performance.
