Humayun Saeed Shares Insights on His Real-Life Role as a Love Guru

Celebrated actor Humayun Saeed has revealed an intriguing aspect of his personal life: like his character in Love Guru, he’s a trusted advisor on matters of love and relationships in real life too.

During a recent appearance on Waseem Badami’s talk show, Saeed and co-star Mahira Khan discussed the film and their personal dynamics. The host inquired if any tension existed between the two since they hadn’t worked together in a decade. Humayun dismissed the idea, sharing that he had consistently approached Mahira for various film projects, including major hits like Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2, Punjab Nahi Jaungi, and London Nahi Jaunga. Mahira had turned down each offer, preferring to focus on more serious roles.

Mahira affirmed her stance, adding that while she enjoys working with Saeed, she tends to avoid ‘masala’ or comedy films, choosing instead to pursue more intense and complex characters. Saeed respected her decision, highlighting the importance of personal choice in the film industry.

The conversation shifted to the state of the local cinema. Saeed explained that producing films requires significant funding and faith in the market, factors that often hold back filmmakers. Many wait for others to break ground with a hit before diving into their own projects.

When the topic of ‘love guru’ came up, Saeed offered a thoughtful explanation. “A love guru isn’t just someone who talks about romance; they’re someone who guides you in understanding love’s true meaning and timing,” he said.

Humayun Saeed also admitted that he regularly gives relationship advice to his friends and colleagues, positioning himself as a go-to confidant in their personal lives. He said that while love can bloom multiple times over the years, it should always be singularly focused. “Love at the same time with more than one person,” he laughed, “that’s not love. That’s confusion.”

These candid insights painted a charming picture of Humayun Saeed—a man who doesn’t just act the part of a love guru but lives it, sharing wisdom and guiding those around him toward finding genuine connections.
