Renowned for her exceptional performances in Pakistani television dramas, Asma Abbas has become a household name with roles in hit shows like *Dumpukht*, *Akbari Asghari*, *Ranjha Ranjha Kardi*, *Chupke Chupke*, and *Mann Jogi*. Currently, she is captivating audiences with her role in *Baby Baji ki Bahuwain*. However, beyond her acting prowess, Asma has taken on the role of a mentor, offering meaningful advice on navigating relationships, particularly marriage.
In a candid interview on *Gloss It*, a YouTube show hosted by Maliha Rehman, Asma Abbas shared her thoughts on marriage, relationships, and how women should prioritize their well-being in a union. Her message to the younger generation, particularly women, was clear: be wise, set boundaries, and never tolerate abuse.
Asma stressed the importance of making informed and thoughtful decisions in choosing a life partner. She advised, “You need to recognize both the good and bad traits of your spouse before making a decision.
Choose wisely because how many marriages will you go through if you leave a spouse over minor drawbacks?” She encouraged women to acknowledge the positive qualities in their partners, warning that a future partner might come with even more challenging issues.
However, her advice came with a strong stance against tolerating abuse. Asma acknowledged that while compromise and understanding are essential in marriage, there is no room for accepting violence or abusive behavior.
“If your husband hits you and abuses you, there is no looking back,” she stated firmly. For Asma, enduring such behavior is not an option, and she encouraged women to leave abusive relationships, emphasizing that no woman should feel trapped or obliged to stay in a harmful environment.
Reflecting on how marital dynamics have changed over the years, Asma pointed out that today’s generation often engages in harsh conversations, unlike the more subdued tone used in her time.
She highlighted the importance of emotional control, advising couples to refrain from speaking in anger and to approach disagreements with a calm mind. This, she said, should be a mutual effort between both men and women.
While encouraging women to be mindful of their own actions and behavior in relationships, Asma didn’t hesitate to criticize men’s rudeness and abusive tendencies, advocating for mutual respect and understanding in marriages.
