Asim Chaudhry reflects on childhood challenges and creative growth after parents' divorce

Asim Chaudhry, 37, reflects on his childhood, noting that being somewhat ignored by his parents allowed him to develop his creativity. He felt overshadowed by his academically successful sister but believes this independence shaped his success today. Chaudhry's parents divorced when he was 10, which influenced his views on marriage. He initially resisted the idea but later embraced it after marrying his wife, a therapist. They attend couples therapy to navigate their cross-cultural relationship. His role in "People Just Do Nothing" transformed his career, leading to films and awards. Chaudhry also enjoyed a cameo in "Barbie" and engages with fans through a Newcastle podcast, despite feeling nervous about meeting his hero, Alan Shearer.
