Aiman Khan on Her TV Comeback: ‘I Miss Acting, Not the Routine’

Since her marriage in 2018, Aiman Khan has been absent from TV but stays active on social media. Once the most-followed local celebrity on Instagram with 5.9 million followers, Khan recently spoke to BBC Urdu about the differences between her real life and reel life, hinting at her potential return to TV dramas.

Reflecting on her time away, Khan shared, “At that time, I just wanted to get married, but I became busy with Amal right after my marriage.” Her eldest daughter, Amal Muneeb, was born in 2019, a year after Khan wed actor Muneeb Butt. Khan admitted she didn’t focus on acting before marriage or motherhood. “I get offers and people still ask, but if God wills, I have future plans,” she said.

Aiman Khan also revealed that the types of roles offered to her haven’t changed since her marriage. “I consider myself lucky because I worked with great directors and producers from a young age. Even after marriage, producers have told me, ‘Whenever you start working again, message us first.’” While content with her life, Aiman Khan confessed, “An actor always misses their acting.”

She went on to explain that while she misses acting, she doesn’t miss the hectic routine. “I miss it, but not waking up at 9 in the morning,” she said. Khan also admired actors like Iqra Aziz, Hania Aamir, and Maya Ali for their work in the competitive industry.

Aiman Khan noted how social media has changed the entertainment landscape. She said, “These days, a drama hitting it on social media is different.” If she returned to work, she’d love to play a role like Durefishan Saleem’s in Khaie. Despite her break, Khan’s popularity remains strong, with fans worldwide admiring her. She stays connected with them on social media while keeping a large part of her life private.
