Ahad Raza Mir has announced that he is taking a break from the entertainment industry next year, describing the move as a “semi-retirement” in a live session on Instagram.
In the video, which has been widely circulated on social media, the actor said he would be “disappearing completely” and spending time with his family, adding that his Instagram would also be switched off during the break.
Mir is among the most acclaimed television actors of his generation, known for blockbusters such as “Yaqeen Ka Safar”, “Ehd-e-Wafa”, “Yeh Dil Mera”, “Meem Se Muhabbat” and “Hum Tum”. He recently drew praise for his performance as Haroon Malik in Green TV’s “Aik Mohabbat Aur” and is currently shooting the upcoming drama “Cafe Firaaq” with Yumna Zaidi.
Fans reacted with a mix of surprise and support. Some speculated the break could be linked to personal plans, while others said he had been working non-stop for two years and deserved the rest; one fan wrote that wherever he goes, he would return to his fans.
On the personal front, Mir married actress Sajal Aly in Abu Dhabi in March 2020; the high-profile couple finalised their divorce in 2022. No timeline has been given for his return to the screen.
