Pakistani actress and TV host Amna Malik has sparked debate by addressing the societal pressures and unrealistic expectations placed on women in marriage proposals. Speaking on a recent podcast, Malik criticized the trend of mothers seeking brides who are slim, tall, and fair-skinned, emphasizing how superficial traits often overshadow more meaningful qualities.
She questioned whether such expectations were fair, asking, “What happens if a woman gains weight after marriage?” Malik also highlighted the increasing delay in marriages and stressed the importance of open conversations between couples before tying the knot.
