Pakistani actress Anam Tanveer appeared as a guest on Adnan Faisal's podcast where she explained why marriages in Pakistan are more challenging as compared to in other countries.
During the interview, Anam discussed the problematic mindset of Pakistanis, stating that marriage has turned into a "complicated task" in Pakistan.
She went on, "The same is not the case anywhere else in the world. In Pakistan, it is completely different from other parts of the world, where a guy and a girl get married if they like each other, regardless of their religion, stature, background, etc."
"Because in this case, a guy from DHA who likes a girl who lives in Malir cannot marry her; this shouldn't be the deciding factor,” she added.
"Suppose if I lived in North Nazimabad, the guy would say, It's a cheap and backward locality and I can't marry a girl from there. Nowadays, individuals are more interested in a person's neighborhood than in their compatibility, education, character, or background."
The "Tere Bina Mein Nahi" actor clarified, "A guy from DHA would marry a girl from the same locality."

Tanveer described her ideal life partner as someone who respects women in general, believes in his wife's ability to achieve her job goals, and supports her in doing so.
She concluded, "To date, I haven't met a single Pakistani man who treats women with respect."
The actress also talked about Pakistani culture, Pakistani history and society. Talking about history, Anam said that Pakistanis are taught wrong facts. She also said that Pakistanis are misled by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s religion and other historical facts.
Talking about it, she said, “Get your facts right, tell the right history to Pakistani people. Tell that non-Muslims came here for education and trade, they were more progressive and worked for Pakistan. Tell them who Jinnah was. Tell that Pakistan is a secular country. Non-Muslims worked here for years for the sake of the welfare of Pakistan. They gave you the railway tracks, they built systems, and you have destroyed them. They built roads and infrastructure. Who was Quaid E Azam? He wasn’t Muslim. Sir! he was a Parsi. There are two debates on this, some say, ‘he was Muslim’ and some don’t agree with it. I don’t want to get into this debate but I just wanted to say that Gonds came to India and Pakistan after the Portuguese invasion, they were Christians, so they did work in Pakistan. We have a messed up curriculum. They don’t teach us the right history”. Here is the link to the video:
