Khan was attending the Asian Achievers Awards, a platform that has been celebrating the achievements of South Asians in the UK for over two decades now. He had been in the UK for his role in a musical called <em>Ishq<\/em> which was performed at the <em>Sadler&#8217;s Wells Theatre. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Ahsan Khan Interview Asian Achievers Awards 2017\" width=\"1260\" height=\"709\" data-trx-lazyload-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jyZUopc88AA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Khan&#8217;s British accent, and his claim of being a &#8216;British Asian&#8217; actor had the Twitterati rolling up memes and jokes faster than we could say the viral line &#8220;here and there, yea&#8221;. For the past few days, all anyone can talk about is Ahsan Khan with the jokes having taken over social media:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">sick of this hot weather wish i was british asian actor ahsan khan who lives here and there as well<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; adiba (@notabida) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/notabida\/status\/1509469048853000193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 31, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/peachcrisis\/status\/1509159286487855105<\/p>\n<p>However, the real noteworthy development of all this fun is Ahsan Khan making a TikTok video with his children, poking fun at himself.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 480px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-24386-1\" width=\"480\" height=\"848\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/images\/2022\/04\/VID-20220402-WA0014.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/images\/2022\/04\/VID-20220402-WA0014.mp4\">https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/images\/2022\/04\/VID-20220402-WA0014.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>What words cannot do justice to is the very real and genuine laughter echoing across the phone when <em>Something Haute<\/em> got in touch with Khan to talk about his accent, the jokes and his response to the madness. &#8220;Don&#8217;t forget to tag this British Asian actor when you share my video,&#8221; he spoke jokingly in his (fake) British accent.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking about why he put on an accent for the press, Khan informed us that he had been in the UK for a few months at the time of that interview. &#8220;I was 11 years old when I came to Pakistan. Currently my whole family lives there, I have a home there, and my cousins have a very strong British accent. When you spend so much time around people with thick accents, you sometimes pick it up also subconsciously. I didn&#8217;t plan to speak with an accent or make it up right there. It just happened!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Khan also laughed at how he&#8217;s being mocked for calling himself British-Asian instead of Pakistani. &#8220;The reporters guided me to use the term British Asian instead of calling myself Pakistani because they felt that it would restrict me or put me in a box, so I just repeated what I said. And technically, I am from there so it&#8217;s not incorrect. <em>Mujhe kya pata tha ye sab itna bara mazaaq ban jaye ga<\/em> (How would I know that this would become such a big joke),&#8221; he stated before cracking up again.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Khan is really enjoying this and is happy to see people laughing also. &#8220;Things are so chaotic lately, politically and socially, we&#8217;ve got something to have fun with so I&#8217;m also having a good time. Some of the memes are so funny, honestly we all have such a good sense of humour. Also, blunders happen all the time! That doesn\u2019t mean your craft and reputation gets affected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Khan is currently promoting his upcoming film with Neelam Munir, called <em>Chakkar<\/em>, and is awaiting the release of another film&#8217;s teaser. Titled <em>Rehbraa<\/em>, this film stars Ahsan Khan opposite Ayesha Omar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not everyday that one gets to see an actor be cool with taking a joke (case in point Will Smith&#8217;s latest outburst).
