Ahmed Ali Akbar and Yumna Zaidi, among the popular on-screen couples worldwide, have garnered a significant fanbase. Like many other celebrity pairs on screen, audiences eagerly anticipate their off-screen relationship. While their project “Gauzarish” initially brought them to prominence, it was their captivating chemistry in “Yeh Raha Dil” as Zaki and Hayat, and in “Parizad” where Ahmed portrayed the titular character and Yumna played his ultimate love interest, Annie, that caught the attention of fans.
During promotional activities for his film “Gunjal,” Ahmed has frequently been questioned about his on-screen chemistry with leading actress Zaidi. In an interview, he expressed interest in doing a full-fledged romantic drama with Yumna for their fans.
During an appearance on ARY Zindagi’s talk show, the host Ayaz Samo asked Ahmed about which colleague he would like rumors to be spread, to which Ahmed promptly mentioned Yumna. He later explained that due to propaganda on YouTube, rumors about their marriage were already circulating.
Ahmed revealed that he received congratulatory calls from people who believed in the speculated marriage between him and Yumna. However, he clarified that the news of their alleged marriage was entirely false, disappointing fans who wished to witness their favorite on-screen couple’s real-life union.
Despite refuting the marriage rumor, Ahmed Ali Akbar hinted at a playful aspect by stating he “wouldn’t mind” such rumors circulating about him and Yumna Zaidi.
