The Actor’s Dual Role: Conflicted On-Screen, Devoted Off-Screen
Usman Mukhtar, celebrated for his compelling performances, continues to captivate audiences with his nuanced portrayal of Raza in a popular drama, leaving fans torn between admiration and disdain for his character. Beyond the screen, the actor has embarked on an exciting new journey—fatherhood. He and his wife, Zunaira Inam Khan, recently welcomed their first child, daughter Siera Inam Mukhtar, marking a joyous shift in their lives. While fans debate his on-screen persona, Mukhtar has wholeheartedly embraced his real-life role as a doting father, albeit with an unconventional approach.
Overprotective Dad? Usman’s Extreme Pre-Baby Preparations
During an appearance on Zara Noor Abbas’s show, Mukhtar revealed his over-the-top parenting instincts, earning both amusement and disbelief. The actor admitted to being a “paranoid dad,” constantly vigilant about his daughter’s well-being—a trait his wife often teases him about. His dedication reached new heights when he secured a pediatrician appointment for Siera before she was even born. While most parents begin doctor visits post-delivery, Mukhtar took initiative during his wife’s seventh month of pregnancy, discussing vaccines, childcare, and developmental milestones—an act his wife deemed so absurd that she refused to join him.
A Doctor’s Patience Meets a Father’s Fervor
Undeterred by his wife’s skepticism, Mukhtar attended the appointment solo, determined to be fully prepared for fatherhood. Though the pediatrician found his preemptive visit unusual, he humored the enthusiastic dad-to-be, walking him through essential newborn care. This anecdote highlights Mukhtar’s hands-on parenting style—one that balances his wife’s laid-back approach with his own meticulous planning. Whether on screen or at home, the actor continues to leave a memorable impression, proving that his dedication extends far beyond his craft.
