Popular host Anoushey Ashraf recently treated fans with a fun-filled Q&A session on her social media. From giving sassy advice, insights and fondly giving witty answers, the former actress and VJ had many interesting things to unravel. Read on…
Ashraf Getting Proposals
When a fan sent in a query asking Anoushey to marry them and keep them as her “house husband,” the star replied, “I’m not rich enough to be your sugar mama. You have to get out there and work. Also, not looking for a husband at the moment. Send resume, will pass the word.”
Hanging Onto The Good
Ashraf was asked about the “wrong side winning” leading to “faith and beliefs” being rattled, she replied, “I hear you. It’s a difficult time to have faith and believe in the good. But here is the catch, this is exactly the time you need to have the most amount of faith. Our only power is how we choose to respond to the chaos around us at the moment. We’ve got to keep hanging onto the good and know it will get better.”
The Importance of Parenthood
Another fan, distressed by the guilt of leaving their parents behind after moving to the United Kingdom was advised, “Oh no. This is a tough call and I’m sorry you’ve had to make this hard decision. InshAllah, it will be for the best. For you to do better unto them and for you to do better for yourself and your family. Thank God for FaceTime. However, ensure you meet up at least a couple of times a year. Prioritise. Meet them halfway. As difficult as it is to be away from our parents, sometimes we have to make the best of the situation we have. Thank Allah for his blessings and swallow this hard pill and keep trudging. Bless your parents!”
Managing Loneliness
When asked about dealing with loneliness, Ashraf stated, “There is a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Everyone wants someone to connect/bond with. It’s only natural for you to want that. Don’t be hard on yourself for craving companionship. Either, keep an open mind and meet people to see if you come across someone you truly like or else invest in solid relationships with a chosen few people who become long-term family. Harvest a small but tight group of good energies and souls. We all need to connect, don’t deprive yourself of this blessing.”
Invest in time yourself
A recently divorced fan spoke about “lack of companionship,” Anoushey replied, “According to your message the only lack of companionship you’re experiencing according to me is your own. Give yourself a break post-relationship? Invest in time yourself? Loving yourself? Instead of looking for the same from another person so soon? We all have deep-rooted insecurities and sometimes we look for love for all the wrong reasons. Please don’t get me wrong but your reasoning at this point in time seems lacklustre.”
