In a short video clip the actor can be seen helping Sadaf fix her hair as they prepare to pose for a photograph. In a welcome break from conventional male attitudes that see men trying to dissociate from anything remotely feminine, Fawad was more than happy to make sure Sadaf was looking her best.
Fans reacted to the video when it was posted online, gushing over the loving moment and calling Fawad the ‘perfect husband.’
But some had a more insightful take on the whole issue, praising Fawad for showing men a new, better way to interact with their spouses.
Of course, with so much praise being lavished upon Fawad Khan for such a simple and human act, it also becomes clear that the bar for men has been set very low. In the recent past well-known men have been praised for the most mundane things: like when comedian Mooroo was praised for marrying a ‘dark-skinned’ woman.
