Nida Yasir Shares Her Modern Approach to Choosing a Son-in-Law

Veteran television host Nida Yasir has shared her thoughts on one of the most talked-about topics among parents; choosing the right life partner for their children. During a recent episode of her morning show, the beloved host spoke candidly about how she would approach her daughter’s marriage and why trust plays a central role in her parenting philosophy.

Nida Yasir, who has been a familiar face on Pakistani television for over a decade through ARY Digital’s hit morning program Good Morning Pakistan, is often admired not only for her successful career but also for the strong family values she openly discusses with her audience. Married to actor and director Yasir Nawaz for more than twenty years, the couple shares three children – Sila, Farid, and Balaaj.

During the show, fellow guest Ghazal Siddiqui asked Nida a question many parents can relate to: what qualities she would look for in a son-in-law if her daughter were to introduce someone she wanted to marry.

Rather than listing specific traits, Nida offered a perspective rooted in trust and upbringing. She explained that parents should focus on raising children with enough wisdom, confidence, and understanding to make important life decisions on their own. According to her, if parents have done their job well, they should feel comfortable trusting their children’s judgment when it comes to selecting a life partner.

Reflecting on her own upbringing, Nida shared that her parents gave her the freedom and confidence to make choices for herself. She said she hopes to follow a similar approach with her daughter and would be willing to respect her decision if she chose someone for marriage.

The television host also acknowledged that fathers may sometimes evaluate different practical aspects of a potential match. However, speaking from a mother’s perspective, she emphasized that her priority would be her daughter’s happiness and comfort with the person she chooses.

Nida further revealed that she has always supported her daughter’s wishes and tried to provide her with opportunities to explore the world and gain life experience. She believes that exposure to different environments and people helps young adults develop a better understanding of relationships and compatibility.

“I never kept my daughter restricted to the home,” Nida explained, adding that she has encouraged her to experience life, interact with people, and build confidence. Because of that, she feels her daughter would be capable of making a thoughtful and informed decision about her future partner.

Sanam Jung questions Karachi’s e-challan system after six traffic fines

Pakistani actor and television host Sanam Jung says she received six traffic e-challans within a month of returning to Pakistan, claiming that several were issued for violations she did not commit.

In an Instagram video, Sanam said the repeated fines had frustrated her family, particularly her father. She accepted responsibility for the first challan, which was issued for using a mobile phone while driving.

However, she disputed some of the later fines, including one for allegedly not wearing a seat belt. Sanam said fastening a seat belt had become a regular habit during her time abroad and insisted that she never begins driving without it.

Questioning the accuracy of the system, she expressed concern over being penalised for offences she says did not occur.

Tipu Sharif laments Karachi’s disappearing trees and shrinking green spaces

Actor Tipu Sharif has urged Karachi residents to plant more trees as rapid development continues to shrink the city’s green spaces.

Sharing an Instagram video of himself distributing plantation supplies, Sharif encouraged people to take part in tree-planting drives. He remarked that many graveyards now appear greener than residential areas and called for living spaces to be made equally green.

The actor warned that Karachi is losing trees at an alarming rate, leading to hotter streets, poorer air quality, less shade and fewer birds.

Referring to the monsoon season, Sharif said it presented the ideal opportunity to increase the city’s greenery. “The monsoon season is starting in Karachi. There’s no better time to start planting trees. I request you guys to fill Karachi’s roads, footpaths, and alleys. Please plant trees everywhere and increase greenery,” he said.

Highlighting the city’s rapid construction and property developments, the actor warned that continued deforestation could lead to serious environmental and health concerns. “In Karachi, there is not even two per cent of trees left and there’s construction and development happening. After a few years, we won’t even be able to breathe,” he stated.

Regarding his own efforts to combat the issue, Sharif shared that he had been distributing agricultural material across different parts of the city. “Today I am at the forestry nursery, taking 200 peepal trees to be planted in different areas, cemeteries, and places where greenery is lacking,” he said.

“Just think, people who have already passed away have greener surroundings in these cemeteries, while people living today don’t have clean air to breathe. Why is this?” the actor questioned.

Concluding his message, Sharif wrote, “Our one simple goal is to leave behind shade for people we’ll probably never meet. A tree planted today is a gift to future generations. Let’s stop turning Karachi into a concrete jungle and start bringing life back, one tree at a time.”

Sharif is known for his performances in dramas including Tapish, Humrahi, and Sitaron Se Agay. Along with advocating for environmental conservation, the actor also runs an advocacy page on Instagram addressing issues regarding animal abuse and sharing content about distributing food among the homeless.
