In a new interview with a local magazine, TV and cinema veteran Shahzad Nawaz revealed that he first met his wife in college, and she had him at \u2018first Assalamoalaikum<\/em> (greetings)\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI prefer saying salam, so she had me at that first salam,\u201d the \u2018Mein\u2019<\/em> actor recalled his love at first sight moment and added, \u201cWe got to know each other and got married by the time I was 19.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if early marriage is what he suggests to youngsters these days, Nawaz replied, \u201cIf they have the capacity to bear the responsibility and the burden, [go for it].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd know the difference that anyone can be born a man genetically, but it takes a lot to be a man. So if you are willing to elevate yourself from a male to a man, I would say 19 is the best age,\u201d he explained. \u201cBecause there are many advantages as well of early marriages; you get to enjoy, learn, evolve [together] and raise your children in front of you. And when they are grown up, you are in a perfect position to play FIFA or cricket with them. [That way] one also shares a better connection with their children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that being said, there are always two sides, pros and cons of anything, so if you must blame, there is also another side,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Upon being asked about the secret of lasting love in marriage, the veteran credited his wife for the \u2018added contribution\u2019 to their relationship, and confessed, \u201cBecause I\u2019m not an easy person to live with. It is tough to spend a life with a person like me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the acting front, Nawaz swept acclaim for his stellar performance as Asif Shahwani, in the recently-ended drama serial \u2018Mein\u2019, <\/em>headlined by A-list actors Ayeza Khan and Wahaj Ali.<\/p>\n
