Zahid Ahmed Opens Up About Marriage and Real-Life Challenges
Renowned actor Zahid Ahmed, known for his intelligence, eloquence, and grounded personality, has once again won hearts — this time with his thoughtful advice on marriage for the younger generation. The talented star, who is currently appearing in Dil Dhoondta Hai Phir Wohi, spoke candidly during an interview with Fuchsia Magazine, sharing his insights on relationships, commitment, and understanding in marriage.
Zahid, who is happily married and a proud father of two sons, has often been open about his personal journey — from battling insecurities about his looks to overcoming drug addiction through faith. His experiences have shaped his mature perspective on life and relationships.
Advice to Gen Z: “Nothing Is Ever Perfect”
During the conversation, Zahid addressed Gen Z couples who are stepping into the age of marriage. He expressed concern over the rising number of separations and divorces and said it’s heartbreaking to see relationships end so easily.
“The younger generation needs to realize that nothing is ever going to be perfect,” Zahid said. “Even when you live alone, there are ups and downs — but in marriage, those ups and downs double. You must stay patient, communicate, and understand one another.”
His message emphasized emotional resilience and compromise as the foundation of lasting relationships.
The Importance of Compromise and Positivity
Zahid further explained what true compromise in a marriage means. He stated that no one can be perfect and that every relationship requires acceptance.
“If you like 7 or 8 things about your partner but dislike 2 or 3, learn to live with those,” he shared. “If you focus only on what you dislike, even a 40-year marriage can fall apart.”
