Famous actress and TV host Nadia Khan has revealed the close personal connection between her husband, Faisal Rao, and Pakistan Air Force’s Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed.
Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed recently made headlines for his briefings on Operation Bunyad-e-Marsous. However, he has now become a topic of conversation on social media for another reason — his longstanding personal bond with Nadia Khan’s family.
Speaking on her morning show on a private TV channel, Nadia disclosed that Aurangzeb Ahmed is not just a fellow fighter pilot but also a brother-like friend of her husband, Faisal Rao. She also shared an old photograph from 1989, showing Faisal and Aurangzeb standing together with other friends at a recreational spot.
“When I married Faisal in 2021, I was told he had three brothers,” Nadia said. “But then he told me, ‘I have another brother too — Aurangzeb — who is an incredible fighter pilot.’”

She added that Faisal and Aurangzeb used to talk on the phone for hours. “Later, I met him myself. His family is wonderful — his wife is a very graceful woman, and his children are incredibly well-mannered,” she said with a smile. “If you haven’t tasted the jalebi from their home, you haven’t lived!”
Recalling her first meeting with Aurangzeb, Nadia said, “He spoke only about Pakistan. He is a deeply patriotic person. Faisal always says, ‘I want my son to grow up like Aurangzeb, not like me,”.
