00:00It was a kind of a thing at first sight.

00:16We happened to meet each other at the U.S. Embassy.

00:19He went there just for some business work and I was there just to get my U.S. visa.

00:27I think that's what I keep telling him, that from the whole lot, he was the only person

00:32that I noticed.

00:34Maybe he was angry because he was in the queue for a long, long time, but there was something

00:38about him.

00:39And later on, when we got to know each other, we got to know that my dad and his dad, they

00:44were kind of best friends and they were in the army together.

00:47But what attracted me towards him was that he's too transparent.

00:54He's transparent, he's direct, he's honest, and he's a kind of a shy guy like me.

01:00I'm a shy person, he's shy too, so I think there's so much that we have in common.

01:11It was like we know each other for ages.

01:13Everything went so smooth, and I think on the eighth day, the way he proposed to me,

01:19it was probably the most beautiful thing that happened to me.

01:22On the eighth day of meeting, he proposed to me, and I said yes to it, and on the tenth

01:27day, we were married.

01:28Really?

01:29Tenth day you were married?

01:30Yes.

01:31I was married on the 25th.

01:32I said to her that, listen, I want to marry you.

01:35She was quiet for some second, and she said, when?

01:39I said, tomorrow.

01:41I thought maybe he's going to say that, oh, I'm going to, like, in a couple of years'

01:44time, or probably in a year's time, but it was like tomorrow, and I was like, huh?

01:47I just hold her hand and I said, listen, I really love you and I want you to marry me.

01:52I'm very happy to have her, and I'm very lucky to have her.

01:56She's the best friend, and she's the best wife I can dedicate to.

02:03I think entertainment is my first love.

02:05I'm so much in love with my career, but then at one point of time, something comes into

02:10your life, and then you say, oh, this thing is, you know, dearest, and this is dear to

02:18me.

02:19Yes, career is very important.

02:20I'm not going to leave entertainment at all.

02:23I'm open to do commercials, certain films which are kind of, you know, kind of family

02:29oriented, where there's some positive message for the betterment of this world or this universe

02:33or for anyone, where there's a message in it which is positive.

02:38I'm open to do those kind of films, but definitely, the typical kind of films, I'm not going to

02:42be a part of the typical Hollywood, Bollywood films at all.

02:45I've said no to my already four projects, which I signed already, like, by the end of

02:502013 for 2014, but I just excused my producer that I might not be able to be a part of those

02:58films.

03:02It's a new phase of life, and it has just started, so we are leaving for Umbra, Inshallah,

03:07day after.

03:08We will be spending four good days there, Inshallah, and then we are heading to the

03:12U.S.

03:14There is going to be my white wedding ceremony.

03:16We are going to celebrate Valentine's Day there, and then my birthday, which would be

03:23on the 26th.

03:24Oh, he remembers.

03:25Brownie points day.

03:26Yeah, he gets so many brownie points anyway, every day, all the time.

03:34And then, once we are back from the U.S., then we are planning to have a ten day, like

03:39a rocking event, because still, our friends, we have a huge, you know, extended family

03:45in the U.S., Dubai, Pakistan, and they are like, all complaining, oh, we would like to

03:49be a part of your wedding, and I'm like, yeah, why not, it was just a nikah ceremony, but

03:53yeah, we'll definitely have a wedding ceremony for friends and family for ten days.

04:01Just love.

04:02I think whatever comes, it's a laughing matter for him.

04:04I just used to call, come, come, new thing coming.

04:06There's a new thing coming in.

04:07Come, I have a joke for you.

04:08He would say that.

04:09But, yeah, I mean, there's so much that you have to take it with a pinch of salt, because

04:13when you are part of this trade, and that is part of the parcel of the trade, you know,

04:18how big the celebrity you are, you know, controversy comes, you know, regarding the same amount.

04:26But I think, you know, when you are in the limelight, you know, controversy is, you know,

04:32is meant to be there.

04:35The funniest rumor, we got married, and very next day, there was an article that Asad is

04:42married and he's having kids.

04:43And the second one, there were two articles.

04:46The other one was, Asad is a very poor guy.

04:49He works in a factory.

04:50He has 1,000 dirhams salary.

04:51He wants to work in Durham, and his family is living in a very poor place.

04:56See, Alhamdulillah, I won't say that.

05:00We appreciate that article, because people should know that we are married to a very poor guy.

05:09I tell you honestly, when I used to work, there was so much of limelight and everything

05:13I used to enjoy.

05:14But whenever there used to be calm and peace, but my heart was not at peace.

05:19There used to be kind of so much of chaos going on.

05:22But I used to always pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that show me the right path.

05:29After marriage, yes, I must say that my life has been transformed.

05:32And it was a sudden U-turn.

05:34And it has changed my life upside down.

05:37Yes, I'm a very calm and relaxed person now.

05:40The kind of sleep I used to fancy and I used to desire for all those 13 years that I've

05:46been working, I get it now.

05:48And I mean, I get such a beautiful and peaceful sleep that mashallah, it's a kind of a miracle to me.
