Veteran Pakistani actor Javed Rizvi has entertained fans with a humorous account of his on-screen marriage to Mahira Khan in the popular drama Mitti De Baway, revealing how playing husbands and grooms has become a recurring feature of his acting career.

Appearing on the television comedy show Mazaq Raat, the seasoned performer shared several amusing experiences from his career, particularly the reactions he received after portraying Peer Sahab, the husband of Mahira Khan’s character Billo.

During the conversation, Rizvi recalled how a friend congratulated him on his apparent good fortune after learning that he had been cast as Mahira Khan’s husband. Rather than simply accepting the compliment, the actor responded with his trademark humour, joking that he had brought his own good fortune into the situation.

His lighthearted response added to the entertaining discussion as he reflected on the unusual privilege of being paired with some of Pakistan’s most celebrated actresses throughout his career.

Rizvi went on to reveal that Mahira Khan was not the first prominent actress he had married on screen. Recalling an earlier acting experience, he mentioned portraying the husband of legendary Pakistani film actress Sabiha Khanum.

He acknowledged the affection and attention he had received following his performance, expressing appreciation for audiences who had connected with his character.

However, the actor was quick to distinguish his personal beliefs from the relationships portrayed in television dramas. While his fictional character’s romantic circumstances have attracted attention, Rizvi explained that he prefers a much simpler approach to relationships in real life.

He said he was content with having one love in his personal life and did not believe in pursuing multiple romantic relationships, making it clear that his off-screen values were different from the situations depicted in his acting roles.

In Mitti De Baway, Rizvi portrays Peer Sahab, whose marriage to Billo, played by Mahira Khan, forms part of the drama’s storyline. Their on-screen pairing has generated discussion among viewers, with Rizvi’s portrayal drawing particular attention.

The drama has been written by acclaimed television writer Faiza Iftikhar and directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain. Its cast includes Mahira Khan and Javed Rizvi, whose contrasting characters and on-screen relationship have become a talking point among audiences.
