"Today, I will make you meet someone about whom you have many questions. Come, Iqbal Hussain Sahab", she said with a smile, as he joined her for the video.
Bushra talked about the effects of her remarriage on her relationship with her loved ones and why she never felt the need to announce or publicly speak about either of the decisions whereas, Bushra and Iqbal also opened up about a stigma of Eastern society where marrying an elderly lady is considered a crime.
Further talking about it, Bushra said, “Marrying Iqbal Hussain was a difficult decision, although I was divorced I never announced it, Iqbal Hussain proposed to me when we were shooting for ‘Seeta Bhagri’. ‘We both live alone, so, we should get married’, he said.
“I took one and a half years to think about marriage that too with someone younger to me. Although, he got divorced way earlier than me”.
Moreover, Iqbal Hussain said, “I thank Bushra Ansari’s family and friends who supported me in this decision and convinced her because Bushra wasn’t agreeing to it and they made it happen, Sumbul Apa, Neelum Aapa, Asma Abbas’s husband, they all helped us a lot.
“Rubina Ashraf, Behroze Sabzwari, Badar Khalil, Sultana Siddiqui, and all the friends supported their decision”, Ansari added.
The couple also informed that their kids are abroad and are happy with their parent’s decision to move on in life.
“If two people have options and there are no family clashes, then they must go for marriage, they should not make it a big thing. Also, marrying an elderly lady should be normalized in our society”, Hussain added.
