Singer Meesha Shafi has expressed her wish to have her children learn the Urdu language.
The actress took to Twitter and wrote that her children are begging for a pup. “Pleading. Howling. Bargaining. Negotiating. They are trying everything. I’m a dog lover but it’s just so much work,” she tweeted.
My children are begging for a pup. Pleading. Howling. Bargaining. Negotiating. They’re trying everything. I’m a dog lover but it’s just so much work ????
Have offered a deal:
If they start speaking to me only in Urdu and learn it by the end of the year, the pup comes ????— MEESHA SHAFI (@itsmeeshashafi) April 14, 2021
According to Shafi, she has offered her children a deal, “If they start speaking to me only in Urdu and learn it by the end of the year, the pup comes,” she shared.
However, social media users gave sarcastic replies to her tweet, one of them asked the singer that was it not the mother’s responsibility to make them learn their native language. Have a look:
Wasn’t it their *mom’s* responsibility to make them learn it right from the beginning, I wonder

Why not get them a desi street pup which won’t understand English. But pup might learn English faster than the kids take to learn Urdu
