ASAD AHMED KHAN : Prince on a White Horse..

It all started with legends and fairytales, Prince Charming came on his white horse and took his princess away from the big bad world, to their own haven. Times have changed, but the charm of the prince on a white horse hasn't worn off. He is still pretty much in demand, and is still very much happening.

The prince in this case is a devoted son, a caring and protective big brother, a decent and very honest man who respects women though his one basic character flaw also revolves around the fairer gender i.e. he is a chauvinist. And yes, our prince is a bit short-tempered, because princes, in all centuries, have had their flaws. They are human after all.

The prince would do anything for his family, and he is fiercely committed to his duty, even if that very duty means he has to protect the enemy's palace. He is a very proud man, a man of principles, a man of very few words and smiles; and a few words, yes, but you can't get the better of him because when he's required to, he's all ready with amazing retorts. He's got a subtle sense of humour, and you can see him enjoying an inside joke at times. When he's angry or unhappy, the world is a bleak place all of a sudden (ok, this I just wrote for effect ), and every time that man smiles, the world becomes a better place (this too ).

When he drives his car, hearts all over start beating faster, when he gives that naughty smirk, you have a tendency to do something mischievous yourself, when he cares for his sisters, you wish everybody had a brother like that, except for yourself , when he's being his angry-young-man self, your brain turns into a pool of mush, when he looks at his princess with those longing eyes, your heart can't help but melt, when he is always there to lend her a helping hand, you wish you had a bodyguard like him, when he takes care of his princess, you wish you were there in her place, and when they look into each other's eyes, it seems time just stopped.

He's the age-old strong, silent type; these are two common characteristics of a lot of fictional characters, but he isn't your regular 'dreamy' character, yet very dreamy. Courage, truth and righteousness define him.

The prince couldn't resist the princess, and which prince has ever, really? :-) All of them have to surrender their soul to someone when the right time comes, because it's always meant to be this way.

Let's all get ready for this story to unfold, the journey which will end with the prince and his princess running away into the sunset, on the very back of their cupid, their white horse. No, not really, but I suppose some version of that.

The prince is our very own ASAD AHMED KHAN (Big surprise there, eh? )

And yeah, I do have a bias..
