Addressing a press conference, he stated, "I am joining the PTI under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. Pakistan is going through a difficult time right now. My country, your country. We were born here. Fame, name, respect, we got it all from here. I've joined this cause because Pakistan needs honest and trustworthy people to come forth so that Prime Minister Imran Khan's vision and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's dream can be completed. A country where common people can get justice.”
The actor also talked about his childhood and disclosed that his father had been part of the armed forces. He said he grew up among people who loved their country and is thankful for a chance to finally do something for the country and its people. "I've grown up listening to tales of love for the country. And when I hear Prime Minister Imran Khan tell multiple people have continued to harm the country, I wish that people, who love the nation, who boast nationalism, come forth and deliver. This may be a new step in politics, but my love for Pakistan and its people dates decades ago," he concluded.
