Javeria Saud’s Advice to Mothers Sparks Debate
Renowned Pakistani television actress, producer, writer, singer, and host Javeria Saud has advised mothers to play a more active role in supporting their daughters’ marriage prospects.
In a recent interview with Geo Digital, Javeria Saud—who has penned the drama serial “Baju”—spoke about the storyline of the project and shared her views on societal attitudes toward marriage.
Discussing the issue, she emphasized that mothers of daughters should be sociable and build connections, as social interaction can open doors to potential relationships. She noted that many mothers prefer to remain within their limited circles, calling this mindset counterproductive.
The actress further stated that when girls reach a marriageable age and face difficulties in finding suitable matches, mothers also bear some responsibility. She stressed that parents, particularly mothers, should actively support their daughters by expanding social networks and engaging with the community.
Javeria Saud highlighted that increased social interaction and presence in gatherings can significantly improve opportunities for girls seeking marriage.
During the interview, she also discussed the narrative of her drama “Baju”, which revolves around the lives and struggles of middle-class girls, as well as sharing insights from her own childhood.
The drama is produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi, and directed by Mazhar Moin.
