Khushhal Khan on Ramsha Khan leaving social media: 'nothing to do with' it
On a hike with Hassan Choudary, Khushhal Khan said quitting the internet and dramas was Ramsha's own call. What he said, and his reply to the Pashtun jibes.
Khushhal Khan says he had no hand in his wife Ramsha Khan stepping away from social media. Speaking to Hassan Choudary in a long conversation released on Friday, 13 November, he said the decision was hers, taken after she saw the reaction to their wedding online. “I’ve had nothing to do with this whole thing,” he said, as quoted by ARY News.
The conversation went up on Khushhal’s own YouTube channel as Take a Hike, an hour-long chat filmed on a hiking trail, the two of them sitting in camp chairs in a shallow stream. By Saturday, Daily Times, ARY News and Minute Mirror had all picked up the part about Ramsha.
Why did Ramsha Khan leave social media?
According to Khushhal, it was her own choice. Daily Times reported that he said the couple had planned to share news of the marriage themselves, but footage from the wedding started circulating online first, without their permission, and he made his announcement on the wedding day itself. Ramsha then decided to step back from the internet, and from acting, after seeing the comments.
He told Choudary he checked with her more than once. ARY News quoted him asking her: “Are you sure about the internet? Are you sure about the dramas?”
The couple married in April. Images Dawn reported in August that Ramsha had deleted or deactivated her Instagram account soon after, and that fans noticed she was missing from photos and reels of her sister Alysha Khan’s wedding. Back then, after pictures of the nikah leaked, Ramsha had posted a note criticising pages that used her private life for clicks.
What did Hassan Choudary say earlier?
This is not Choudary’s first time on the subject. On his podcast in August he said he had spoken to both of them, and that Ramsha told him she simply did not want to be on camera again. He also said she was happy and that the choice to stop working had been hers, something she had hinted at before the wedding, Images Dawn reported.
What did Khushhal say about the Pashtun comments?
He was also asked about people who trolled the couple over their Pashtun background. Daily Times reported that he rejected the stereotypes thrown at Pashtuns and pointed to double standards in how people reacted. “Why do you call them that? I don’t understand that,” he said, according to ARY News.
He also said there is little on the internet that can hurt him now, because he has been in front of it since he was young.
What is next for Khushhal Khan?
Ramsha has not posted or spoken publicly about the interview, and there is no announcement about any return to acting. The full Take a Hike episode with Choudary is on Khushhal’s YouTube channel; the talk about Ramsha is one part of a wider chat.
