Mawra Hocane wants young girls to be financially independent

Mawra Hocane is all about female empowerment. The actor recently talked about the importance of young girls having financial autonomy in an Instagram video. “I was taught at a very young age that for girls, financial independence is very important,” she said. 

“You don’t understand that in your childhood,” she said while she reflected on her upbringing. “Urwa and I were school going girls when mama pushed us to do theater. It helped us build a work ethic. It becomes ingrained in you from a young age to make yourself useful, to work hard.”

The Sanam Teri Kasam lead is okay with making little sacrifices. “You can lose a little less sleep and it’s okay, hustle is important,” she said. “So I think this is our parent’s effect on us.” 

Mawra had an important message for girls that look up to her. “To all the girls watching, I would say there is nothing better than financial independence,” she said. 

The newly-wed star also thinks that a supportive family can help but making it on your own is crucial. “No matter how good your family is. How rich your family is. Or your in-laws or your husband. I think the money you earn with your hard work gives you a different kind of confidence.”
