Mansha gushes over husband Jibran's caring nature

Actor talks love at first sight and what to look for in a man

Laal Kabootar star Mansha Pasha may know her way around the showbiz world, but as someone who found love after her first marriage fell apart, she also knows a thing or two about relationships. Praising her politician and human rights activist husband Jibran Nasir, Mansha made no qualms about hiding the fact that she knew he was the man for her from the moment they met.

"When I first met Jibran, I knew he was the right fit for me," gushed the Zindagi Gulzar Hai actor in a recent appearance on Mazaq Raat. "I said it in my heart at the time, and I waited for him to say it back to me in real life."

Mansha, who had previously been married to businessman Asad Farooqi from 2013 to 2018, admitted that her strong gut instinct initially left her feeling unsettled. "I was very surprised, because normally, I'm not the type of person to believe in instant love," she mused. "I thought maybe I was overthinking it. I didn't know whether I was right or wrong - I just had this feeling that he was the one for me."

Like a true romantic, however, Mansha eventually realised that her initial feeling of attraction was a sign of things to come. "After spending some time with him and getting to know him, I realised that whatever I had felt for him from the start was absolutely correct," she added.

Mansha wed Jibran in 2021, and as someone who got lucky in love the second time around, she dispelled her own advice on what unmarried women should look for in a life partner.

"You need to understand that a good man doesn't necessarily make a good husband, just the way all good women do not always make good wives," she cautioned. "Before you marry a man, you should see how he will behave as a husband, such as whether he can take care of other people or not."

Sharing an anecdote from her own relationship highlighting Jibran's caring qualities, Mansha said, "I remember this one time when I broke a glass, and Jibran cleaned up the mess. I realised that even though it was my fault, he was the one who took responsibility for fixing it."

Illustrating how the incident was a snapshot of the man she fell in love with, Mansha warmly added, "He has shown in so many ways that he is caring. He doesn't focus on the fault. He focuses on how it can be fixed."
