Pakistani actor Usman Mukhtar has emotionally revealed that he doesn’t want to repeat his father’s parenting mistakes. During a podcast appearance, he said, “I won’t be like my dad,” explaining that his father’s behavior deeply affected his childhood.

Mukhtar talked about his early years, calling parts of them “bitter memories,” and said he’s determined to be a better, more caring father to his daughter. He admitted that his dad’s attitude shaped who he is today—but stressed that he wants to do things differently for his family’s future.

The actor also shared a touching anecdote: before his daughter was born, he visited the doctor to plan her vaccinations and care, saying his concern for her well-being started before she even arrived.
