Model and actress Mathira has expressed her concerns over the rising immorality in Pakistani society, stating that the country has become "extremely advanced" in ways that are troubling.

She shared these views during a recent appearance on a podcast.

According to Mathira, the youth in Pakistan are increasingly indulging in improper relationships, which have become more common, leading to a variety of social issues.

The actress lamented how these trends have affected the moral fabric of society.

Illicit relationships have become common, and as a result, problems are arising.

While discussing marriage and relationships, Mathira mentioned that marriages in Pakistan are now often treated like business deals.

She pointed out that parents also tend to prioritise financial status and social standing when arranging marriages, which she believes has shifted the focus away from more meaningful values.

Previously, in a morning show, Mathira shared her thoughts on motherhood and advising those in what she termed "toxic" households.

During the show, she discussed family dynamics and the challenges of navigating difficult relationships.

Mathira encouraged maintaining family connections while not shying away from addressing problems. "Distancing yourself from your family is impossible," she said. "I will never say break off your bond with your mother, but do show her the mirror whenever she is wrong."

The performer suggested using non-confrontational methods to resolve conflicts, stating that a solution can be reached without resorting to raising one's voice. "If that fails," Mathira added, "raise an emotional wall, and try not to take things too seriously."

She also pointed out how children accustomed to toxic environments may develop unhealthy relationships in adulthood, driven by a need to please.

Mathira explained, "An individual yearns for bonds similar to those they adapted to as children, regardless of their gender."

Mathira linked generational trauma to patterns of love, adding, "A happier generation must emerge from a damaged one." She emphasised the need for parents to offer understanding rather than blame.

"Do not call them dumb. Do not blame them," she advised when speaking about children facing learning difficulties.
