Maya Ali does not give into societal pressure. The actor recently made an appearance on podcast, Golootlo presents Naam Faizan this week. The actor was asked about her plans for marriage and she shared her unapologetic take on it.
“We shouldn’t get married simply because someone is asking why we haven’t done so yet,” she said. “Or if someone tells you to get married because you are getting old or they have a suitable person in mind who might keep you happy.”
Maya thinks that marriage is a serious matter. “Marriage is a very important decision in your life,” she said. “Between two families and two individuals. For that, having a connection is crucial. If I ever find that connection in a person, I will definitely get married.”
The actor is clear about her intentions for making the decision. “Not because people are telling me to. Or if people are worried about my future and age.”
She wants people to trust the process, “If we so strongly believe that everything happens if God wants it to happen, then why can’t we apply it to marriage?” she said. “This is His decision too.”
The host asked Maya if she had yet found someone whom she wanted to marry. To this, the actor smiled and said, “If I ever find someone like that, everyone will know.”
The Mann Mayal actor touched upon her past experiences too, sharing, “I have been in love of course, like everyone else,” she said, “It depends if you fell for the right person or the wrong person.”
The actor had a mature perspective to offer. “Actually, there are no right or wrong people,” she said. “You just might not be compatible. I might be wrong for the person. Finding love is easy but keeping it is difficult. I have tried it.”
Maya has previously explained her preferences in a partner in a local talk show back in March.”I need someone who understands my work and me, and also knows how to value a woman like she deserves,” she said. “I’m looking for someone who respects my mother and I. And it’s not like I wouldn’t do the same. Obviously, I would. This is a two-way road. So, yes. I’ll definitely get married when my heart knows it’s time.”
