Why Yasir Hussain Thinks Having 12 Kids Isn’t Crazy After All

Yasir Hussain is no stranger to headlines — be his sharp wit, bold opinions, or offbeat humor, the multi-talented actor, writer, and director always manages to spark a conversation; this time, however, it’s not a punchline or performance that has caught public attention — it’s his surprisingly earnest take on a rather unconventional topic: having 12 children in today’s world.

In an age where most couples are cautiously planning one or two kids — if any — Yasir’s unfiltered response during a recent interview with Tabish Hashmi was a delightful curveball. When asked about the idea of raising a dozen children, Yasir cheerfully replied, “Aapke muun main ghee shakkar!” — a phrase that echoed humor and enthusiasm.

But behind the laughter lies a perspective, Yasir Hussain isn’t simply throwing out an outlandish number for shock value his opinion is deeply rooted in his own upbringing. Coming from a household with 11 siblings, Yasir speaks of his childhood with warmth and gratitude. Despite limited resources — including a shared house with a single bathroom — he recalls a life filled with joy, camaraderie, and character-building experiences.

What makes Yasir’s viewpoint compelling is that he challenges modern assumptions. In a world obsessed with material success and minimalism, he advocates for emotional richness — suggesting that love, time, and tarbiyat (upbringing) are what truly matter. “You can give the right education and attention to more children,” he insists, pointing out that it’s not about quantity, but commitment.
