As Taha Shah Badussha turns 38, he's reflecting on what it means to be a man in today's world. The actor believes that men's vulnerability is no longer seen as a weakness, but rather a strength. In an exclusive interview, he shares his thoughts on the evolution of masculinity and how it's changing for the better. In a generation where men are expected to be strong and stoic, Taha thinks it's time to break free from these stereotypes. 'I don't think that a man should be separated from his vulnerable side,' he says. 'He should be in touch with that side and be able to control it, not completely ignore or sideline it.' Taha's birthday coincides with International Men's Day, a fitting occasion to discuss the changing face of masculinity. He notes that the older generation was shaped by their experiences during partition, while the younger generation is more open and accepting of change. 'Everybody is quite open now,' he says. 'There is gender fluidity, and the understanding of who a man should be has changed over time.' For Taha, a true man is someone who embodies integrity, patience, and calmness. He believes that the audience is looking for men who are relatable, not just strong and stoic. 'It's not the 'alpha' men, but someone who is in touch with their softer side,' he says. This is evident in his character in Heeramandi, which showed that people are looking for romance and love in their content. Taha's advice to men is to be emotionally available and in touch with their emotions. 'It's important that we are in touch with our emotions, otherwise how will we communicate or express to young people how they should be?' he says. By embracing their sensitive side, men can become better partners, friends, and family members. As Taha celebrates his birthday, he's grateful for the love and support of his family. 'It's all about keeping the right people next to you instead of more people,' he says. In a world where men are increasingly expected to be vulnerable, Taha's message is clear: being strong and sensitive is not a contradiction, but a sign of true masculinity.
