Fans are praising her recent drama series Pamaal, which is currently on air on Green Entertainment. The story revolves around Zanjabeel, who is a young widow.
Recently, Zanjabeel Asim Shah made an appearance on Fuchsia Magazine’s YouTube show, hosted by Rabia Mughni. In the interview, she shared the advice she gave to her daughter after her husband’s death.
Talking about it, Zanjabeel Asim Shah said, “When my husband passed away, my younger daughter used to hug the fathers of other children. I felt that she was seeking her father’s love and affection in other children’s fathers. I realized that she was getting emotionally attached to other people. I then made her understand and told her that your father has passed away; he is no more. You should not get attached to others because they are not your father. You cannot get a father’s love from others. If you want a father’s love, you can have it from me. From now on, I am both your father and mother. That is why my daughters also wish me on Father’s Day.”
Talking about second marriages, Zanjabeel Asim Shah said, “Society does not easily accept a woman with a child. Even if they accept the woman, it becomes a battle for the child. It is traumatic for a child’s mind, and a form of cruelty, where his heroic figure (father) is being replaced by someone else. I am not completely against women having second marriages after becoming widowed or divorced. If someone finds a complete package—someone who is ready to accept your baggage—then you should go for it. But do not get married just for the sake of marriage or companionship. You should not marry just because another woman got married and has a husband and you want a man for yourself.”
