The actress said that in our society, men tend to be a bit short-tempered and don’t listen to their wives much. My children are still young, and they don’t have boyfriends or girlfriends yet — and if they do, I don’t know about it.

The actress stated that sometimes she whispers to her husband, actor Hassan Ahmed, that having a boyfriend or girlfriend at this age is normal.

Sunita Marshall further said that she is referring to households where men don’t listen — in such cases, the wife should gradually and lovingly make her husband understand, so that if something about the children comes up suddenly, it doesn’t come as a shock.

It is worth noting that in Pakistani society, the concept of boyfriends and girlfriends is not considered appropriate, and most parents advise their children from a young age to stay away from such relationships.
