“There is nothing more beautiful than marriage,” she began. “I can take care of myself, so I don’t care if someone can cook or wash the dishes. What really matters is how much effort you put into showing your partner that you care.” They love? You need to put in 100 percent effort, and that can only be achieved with patience and hard work.”
According to Agha, if one party doesn’t put in the time and effort to show the other how much he or she means to them, a relationship risks growing and withering. “It’s a neutral factor,” he said, emphasizing that the onus is on both men and women to nurture relationships. “On a daily or weekly basis — or whatever your nature is — you need to prove that you’re still there. Don’t take each other for granted.”
To underestimate someone in the eyes of the Agha is to go down a slippery slope. “People start thinking, ‘Oh, this person isn’t going anywhere.’ I think that’s why 99 percent of marriages fail — when people start assuming that the other person is going to be there forever,” he said.
However, Agha remained generally silent about the end of his marriage to Hina. Agha and Hina got married in May 2020 shortly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple got together after working in the drama Dil Gumishda and separated after four years of marriage.
Refusing to badmouth his ex-wife, Agha noted, “I’m divorced. It’s been over a year and a half now. I want nothing but her health and happiness, And not to say anything about it, especially since he’s not here himself, it’s not good.”
Despite advocating trying on marriage, Agha acknowledges that when a relationship cannot be restored, it is important to take a step back and take time to heal.
“It took me a while.” He said frankly. “I haven’t been shooting anything for the last 8 months. I gave myself that time. That emptiness in life that suddenly hits you affects you. You have to act. Time is needed. I took that time, and thank God, things worked out.”
