So...

In these recent years, I have also felt a lot closer to my mom, which wasn't the case when I was growing up.

I was very much closer to my dad because, of course, he was supportive and all of that, but in our community, if you are a girl, you want it to be like a man.

because you had more rights, more privilege, and that was an ideal world for me, just being like your father.

Like a disappointment for the mother-in-law.

What did marriage mean to you?

I hated it.

And I said that I would never get married.

And even in college, I was telling my friends that I will never get married, at least till I'm like 30, 40.

I was like, I'll just consider it later.

But I'm not going to even think about marriage.

And I discouraged all of my friends from getting married.

So I was the first one in my friends' group to get married.

Yeah.

So he's from Punjab in Pakistan.

So they speak Punjabi language and Urdu language.

And I'm from this other side of Pakistan, from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and we speak Pashto language.

And we have more languages in Pakistan, like Sindhi, Balochi.

And we are a very diverse country.

But my mom said, I'm just very upset.
