Renowned Pakistani actress and radio jockey Navin Waqar appeared on the Adnan Faisal Podcast and openly talked about her personal life and her divorce.
During the conversation held at the show between the actress and host, the ‘Humsafar’ star clarified that she did not like to discuss her divorce on social media as she didn’t want at kind of spotlight.
Here are the exact words stated by the lady:
“A lot of people use that [their divorce] as a means to spotlight but I don’t want that kind of spotlight. I’ve always believed that the spotlight on me should solely be because of my work.”
Further, she stated, “My parents have taught me to keep these matters private, because once they are out, the facts will be altered and will then have multiple versions, just like Chinese whispers.”
The host asked her if she had never spoken about her divorce and her ex-husband in public, to which the ‘Bewafa’ actor replied, “No I haven’t because that is my personal space, my personal life. I will never talk about these things because that’s what I’ve been taught.”
“You cannot ask everyone to shut up so it’s better to keep your mouth shut,” she added.
The actor concluded with a piece of advice to everyone going through the same saying, “Deal with it the way you would deal with any other tragedy. Acknowledge it, absorb it, and then just step away from it.”
