Bushra Ansari calls out 'shameless' men who remarry through manipulation

Veteran actor Bushra Ansari spoke about manipulative men who remarry for material gain, drawing from her daughter's personal experience and appearing to reference her former son-in-law.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, Bushra began by talking about manipulative men, referring to her daughter's divorce. "My daughter was fooled, and now others will be too. You cannot tell because of their well-natured, good spoken English. Now someone else will go through this," she said.

Bushra added that she has also encountered educated yet "shameless" men who go on to have successful second marriages because of their manipulative nature. "I have seen educated yet shameless men whose second marriages have become successful because of their clever and cunning nature. They speak sweetly, have good English, and appear well-mannered, but other women do not know how dirty their mindsets are or what they have done previously in their lives," she said.

The actor also argued that, regardless of social class or education, some men are driven by material interests. "Men are like this, no matter from what class they come from and what they do," she said, adding, "They don't have any major issues or genuine differences with their wives in previous marriages, they simply move on for material benefits."

Saying that she had witnessed such behaviour within her own family, Bushra shared, "We have witnessed it with our own eyes. I'm surprised that such educated men still manage to find educated women." She added, "We have heard that he has married a highly educated woman who is ready to give everything to him, regardless of the fact that we warned her. She wants to destroy herself for him and support him financially." The actor stated, however, "Let it be if she wants to be his breadwinner."

Further, Bushra expressed concern over what she described as disturbing incidents in Pakistan, including reports of harassment and abuse. "They tell us to not go to certain places or wear certain clothing, but women regardless of what they wear are harassed," the actor said.

"The world is weird. There are very creepy men in the world from all classes, whether they have economic reasons, social pressure, men's minds have gone mad and only God can help them," she said, adding that one should be grateful if their children are safe.

Concluding her remarks, Bushra called for harsher punishments for perpetrators of violence against women, particularly acid attacks. "We should make these men suffer. We should feed them to wild animals, especially those who throw acid on women," she said, adding, "This is even worse than killing someone because every time you see your reflection, you feel like you die over and over again."

The actor urged the government to review its laws on capital punishment, saying authorities should consider stricter penalties for such crimes.
