A Feeling of Being Overlooked
Afzal Khan mentioned that despite having worked with almost everyone in Karachi and considering them friends, only a handful of people reached out to welcome him. He specifically acknowledged Asma Abbas for her hospitality and credited Behroze Sabzwari, Javeria Saud, and Saud Qasmi for their significant support in helping his family settle—from finding a home to offering general assistance. Beyond this small group, he lamented, no one else made contact or extended an invitation.

Impact on Family and Business
The actor also shared a personal setback stemming from the move. His wife had to permanently close her beauty salon in Lahore. After relocating, she lost her existing clientele, and attempts to revive the business upon their return were unsuccessful due to a lack of activity, forcing its closure.

Afzal Khan concluded that his family, who enjoys social gatherings, now primarily spends time with the few friends who offered their support, underscoring a sense of isolation in the new city.
