Much like her husband Yasir Hussain, Iqra Aziz isn’t one to shy away from saying what she wants to say. In recent interview with BBC Urdu, Suno Chanda actress discussed societal expectations and stereotypes surrounding motherhood that she experienced during her pregnancy. Reflecting on negativity she encountered, she remarked, “May be older people have traumatised us that if you give birth to children, then you cannot do anything else.”

Responding to rumors on social media about her taking back seat in her career after Kabir’s birth, Aziz clarified, “I did not want to make peak of my career an overly ambitious thing. This is my choice. “Before I met Yasir, I used to work every Sunday. I have started doing work from very early age. But this was my choice and now I want to relax and enjoy myself for some time. This is my first child and I want to make this time unforgettable.”
