Nadia Afgan Reveals Decision to Not Have Children

Planning and raising children is a challenging task for women, and even those in showbiz face similar struggles. During an appearance on a local morning show, Suno Chanda actor Nadia Afgan opened up about her personal journey with having children.
Afgan shared, “After trying and miscarrying twice, and then going through IVF, I eventually realized that this was not meant for me.” She discussed the extensive procedures she underwent, touching on the subtle trauma and eventual acceptance that accompanied her decision.
However, significant decisions like these are not made in isolation. Afgan expressed her gratitude for her husband’s unwavering support during this difficult time. “I give 100% credit to Jawwad. Ever since we got married, we agreed to handle our own sides of the families.” This approach not only strengthened their relationship but also helped them face familial and societal expectations together as a united front.
Having children is a choice that is often snatched from women in Pakistani society, leading to many instances of unwanted pregnancies, too many children at the expense of their health and postpartum depression. However, such candid reflections coming from women in showbiz such as Afgan can help set a much-needed change in motion.
Nadia Afgan on Having a Child
The Sammi actor further revealed, “I decided that I cannot take more mental and physical pressure on myself, and in order to protect my sanity in the longer run, I need to make a decision now.” The recognition of her mental and physical condition helped the actor tremendously and she was able to make a satisfactory choice.
As the debate rekindles a lost flame for the Suno Chanda actor, it lights up many bulbs within the normal populace regarding parental responsibility, bodily autonomy, and active support system within close friends and families. With Afgan’s acceptance around “I decided not to have children” as one of the toughest settlements in her life, it urges and motivates women across the country to step up for themselves and exercise their rights.
Moreso, it also tinkles the reality check bell within the male population – allowing them to reconsider their roles and responsibilities within their sphere of access. Despite Afgan’s bold forefront in making the decision, her husband emerges as a pillar of support without whom the actor’s choice and subsequent journey would have been hard to navigate.
In an earlier interview last year, Afgan shared her two cents on age differences in marriages. When asked if she believed age was a determinant of marital success, Afgan firmly asserted that, when respect and love existed between partners, age became an inconsequential factor. With her husband, who is twelve years her junior, Afgan experienced a sense of maturity that transcended mere numbers. She went on to explain that her strong belief in destiny played a crucial role in their union.
She talked about the challenges that could arise from living together 24/7, like her being a day person while her husband was a night owl. However, she emphasized that their strong foundation of friendship made all the difference. They had first met through a project and participated in various social welfare activities together. Her husband’s honest confession of his feelings for her ignited their journey toward marriage. She quoted him, saying, “Marriage is not just about living together; it’s about growing together.”

Jawad Ahmad Calls Society’s Tolerance of Profanity ‘Dangerous’

Singer-turned-politician Jawad Ahmad raised concerns about society’s growing tolerance for vulgarity and profanity.
He recalled his upbringing, saying, “In the household I grew up in, using curse words was unthinkable—whether on my mother’s side or my father’s.” Jawad explained that both of his parents, being educators, taught him respect, and he never heard foul language in his family.
Defining profanity, the Hamain Tum Se Pyar Hai singer said it includes using hateful or false labels to insult someone, such as calling them something they are clearly not—like comparing them to an animal.
He added that curse words also include vulgar references to body parts, misogynistic insults directed at mothers or sisters, or hateful remarks about someone’s caste, appearance, or profession. “Such language isn’t just rude—it targets a person’s character in a senseless way,” Jawad emphasized.
Jawad Ahmad and His Music
Jawad Ahmad rose to fame with his solo song Allah Meray Dil Kay Ander, which reflected his deep interest in Sufism.
Although he never received formal training in music, he writes and composes most of his own songs. He takes inspiration from a wide range of musical legends, including Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, Mehdi Hassan, Ustad Salamat Ali Khan, Tufail Niazi, Pathanay Khan, Hamid Ali Bela, Madam Noor Jehan, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Kishore Kumar, the Eagles, Elvis Presley, and Mohammed Rafi.
To date, Jawad Ahmad has made his mark in the music industry with three solo albums and several drama OSTs.
