'Marriage has no age'

Hina Altaf took to her YouTube channel to indulge a scheduled Q/A session, answering questions sent by dedicated fans. Although confessing to being low on energy, Hina expressed that she's committed when it comes to recording and uploading a video on her channel.

Answering the first question, she reflected on the ever-growing nature of maturation, claiming that she was not the person she used to be six years ago. "There are some things you only understand with age. It's like you said, that I'm patient and kind. Well, there are times when I have no patience at all and react promptly," she said. "But some situations are not worth it. That's when you should take a step back and reconsider whether something's worth an outburst or not."

The Mehroom actor now prioritises peace, tending to keep her opinions to herself. And while she does consider age to be a significant contributor to mental growth, she doesn't believe that such a thing necessarily applies to marriage.

"There is no right age for women to get married. I can elaborate so much on this, based on the kind of videos I've been seeing on social media. But all I'll say is, you'll get married when you're destined to, when the right person enters your life and your heart makes the big decision. There is no age," she said.

"We have made marriage a ticking bomb. 'Time's passing. Oh, no! What are we going to do?' Don't ever do this. And whoever's giving you pressure regarding this, tell them to chill out so you can chill as well," she frankly observed.

Hina also received a question on her views on something that happens to be a recurrent disturbance in her life. "I'm telling you, I absolutely do not like it when people have a habit of staring," she emphasised. "And what I'm compelled to wonder is, how don't people realise that I am aware of when it happens? I can see it very clearly!"

Answering with the fact that she has no particular question in mind when faced with such an uncomfortable situation, the 32-year-old actor said, "All I can think is, please stop staring at me. It doesn't matter who it is. I just have a very big issue with this. Why must one be interested in staring this much? And I'm sure that I'm not alone in feeling this way."

It seems that despite channelling patience and nodding along to avoid arguments, Hina too has her reservations when it comes to certain pet peeves. And even if she admits to not speaking her mind all that often, she has carved out a digital space where she can do so at her leisure.
