Mashal Khan doesn't believe in one-sided love

Actor rejects pain in the name of romance

During an appearance on Mazaq Raat, Mashal Khan mused over one-sided love. She began by sharing that she feels one-sided love is not true love. "It doesn't make any sense. True love is something that's built over time. One-way is infatuation," she said.

Mashal believes that poets are to be blamed for why people attribute love to suffering. "They promote this idea that love exists to bring you pain, that until you're in a hospital bed, your love isn't real," she said.

"But true love elevates you. When two people are good for each other, they help each other grow in life, not hurt each other in the space they occupy. What is the point of fighting and perishing when you're supposed to be stronger against the world?"

Despite her views, the Suno Chanda actor revealed that she was infatuated with someone back in school. Discussing this anonymous person, she said, "From what I know, he didn't become a very good person in life. He's like those individuals who don't hurt people consciously but are so careless with their actions that they crush others along the way."

Mashal was previously in a romantic relationship with Ali Ansari, who is now married to Saboor Ali. At the time of the couple's engagement, she called out the gossip-mongers who tried to sour the two's big moment by dragging Mashal into it.

"It is so sad that a moment which is supposed to be of so much happiness for a couple has been turned into idle gossip," Mashal wrote in an Instagram Story in May 2021. "It has come to my knowledge that several attempts are being made to pull me into Ali Ansari and Saboor Ali's engagement announcement."

The actor went on to congratulate the couple and added, "Let's not try to ruin someone's moment, shall we?"

Last month, Saboor and Ali were blessed with a daughter. Announcing the happy news on Instagram, Saboor wrote, "Our tiny miracle, our biggest blessing. The sight of the smallest of hands leaving the biggest of impact is unbelievable. Welcome, Serena Ali, to the world. The magic awaits you."

The heartfelt note was attached to a black-and-white carousel of Saboor in the hospital bed and Ali standing by her side as they held their little one up. The post also featured the newborn baby's tiny feet and hands enveloped in her parents' hands.
