Asma Abbas Defends Flirting for Married Men: “Nothing Wrong,” She Says
In an interview on Neo TV’s ‘Zabardast,’ Asma Abbas, a renowned actor and producer, stirred controversy by advocating for a lenient approach towards married men flirting; her remarks came during a discussion on relationships and societal norms, shedding light on her unconventional views.
Asma Abbas Challenging Traditional Norms
Asma Abbas, who herself entered into a marriage with a man already wedded, boldly defended the idea of “minor flirting” for married men. Contrary to conventional beliefs, she argued that such interactions shouldn’t be stifled, emphasizing the importance of understanding and trust within a marriage.
“My husband already had a wife when we got married,” she reminded viewers. “I believe there is no harm in a man talking to another woman when you know he is the father of your children and coming back home to you. You shouldn’t suffocate someone so much.”
The Conservative Upbringing
Raised in a conservative household where her aspirations were curtailed, Asma’s journey into the entertainment industry defied familial expectations. Reflecting on her upbringing alongside her sister, Bushra Ansari, she highlighted the struggles faced due to societal perceptions of showbiz. Despite familial resistance, both sisters carved their paths in the industry, challenging patriarchal constraints.
