Pakistani actor Mikaal Zulfiqar has opened up about his experiences with relationships in the entertainment industry. He said he does not want to have another relationship with an actress in the future.

Mikaal discussed relationships with fellow actors, attraction, crushes and his personal experiences, during his recent podcast.

He said having a crush on someone is natural. This can be especially common in the entertainment industry, where actors regularly work with attractive people.

However, Mikaal said his own experience has made him think differently about serious relationships within the industry.

Mikaal’s past relationship

The actor revealed that his first relationship was with an actress. He did not name the person while discussing the experience.

According to Mikaal, he does not want to enter another relationship with an actress.

He said actresses can expect a lot of attention and care from their partners. Mikaal explained that he no longer feels prepared to take on that level of responsibility in a relationship.

He also suggested that other actors may have faced similar experiences.

In his view, a romantic relationship between two established actors may not always be an ideal choice.

Mikaal also gave the example of actors Aiman Khan and Muneeb Butt. He said their relationship worked because they became partners while they were still young and at an early stage of their careers.

According to Mikaal, relationships may become more difficult when both people have already established themselves in their respective careers.

He suggested that two people who have already developed independent lifestyles and successful careers may find it harder to adjust to a new relationship.
