Pakistani actor Hassan Ahmed appeared as a guest alongside his wife at Masarat Misbah’s talk show where he told the interviewee about his reaction if his kids decided to follow Christianity.
During the candid conversation with the host in the show, the couple discussed the challenges of raising children in a household with different faiths. Hassan spoke about how many people adhere to a religion simply because they were born into it, without taking the time to truly understand its techniques.
He emphasized the importance of educating oneself before deciding religious beliefs, rather than blindly following the traditions of ancestors.
He discussed his potential reaction if his children express interest in embracing Christianity, mentioning that he hasn't pondered it much, but if it occurs, he plans to engage in calm conversations with them, encouraging them to explain their reasoning and interpretations.
Instead of reacting angrily, he intends to ask why they are interested in a different faith. He also noted that his daughter approaches such matters with logic and careful consideration.
He also shared that he was like many Muslims we see in society every day, who often harbor a lot of aggression. While he still holds Islam in high regard, marrying a woman from a different religion may have been Allah's way of helping him overcome the aggression and intolerance he once had.
Here is the full coverage of the show:
