This is a fact. Beauty privilege is a thing. It's not even about that. We sometimes see kids and their reactions, the way they talk, and why we naturally prefer certain people over others. Because they talk softly, their expressions are so cute. I prefer my niece. Although I try to be equal with everyone, I naturally prefer one girl. She talks so softly, she's a people person but has strong boundaries, and she talks with such a beautiful smile. So beauty is a privilege, and it's a thing. The more your talent gets noticed, the faster it gets recognised.
It's not about jo aapke paas nahi hai, uske liye suddenly aap apne aap ko change karne lag jao. Health is beauty, like Oscar Patel said. Asymmetrical face, body posture, healthy lifestyle, fascia exercises. You were born with dull features and a dull face. You literally used to have an apple-sized face, but now look at you. Itni aapki body nahi hai jitna aapka face hai. Aapki 5'6–5'7 height wali personality ka face hai. Daily skincare and massage, gua sha. Fillers and Botox make things look artificial.
You're so talented, but understand that I remember one artist saying that taking care of your face is also a part of your job. I'm not in the industry, but I understand these things as well. I used to have such a ladaku expression, but now I've learned that whenever I see something good in someone, even in a child, I try to adopt that expression. I've started having a softer voice now. You used to have such a pretty, soft voice, which you've lost. I think you smoke or maybe you have hormonal problems. But you are literally gifted. You have a small waist. It was your USP. And what are you doing? Ruining your peace?
Hazrat Ali's quote: Nothing in this world is worth your tears. Jo aapko centre of the universe banaya hai, logon ko centre of the universe banaya, that's shirk. Where is Allah? The things you need to control are your growth, skills, right decision-making, looking after yourself, your concern for Akhirat, integrity and strategic calculus. These are all within your control. Lekin shaadi kisi se honi hai, banda koi milega, yeh dil hai, Allah ke kaam hain. Understand ke Allah Ta'ala ne har surat mein aapke liye rizq rakha hai. Aap jo mehnat karte ho, uski return ten times, hundred times ho jati hai. So Surah Waqiah for rizq and a life partner, and uske baad apni growth and skills par kaam karo. Khud hi acha partner aa jayega. Phir aapke andar growth aur skills hongi, aur aapko apni value karwana bhi aayega.
Uske ilawa, men have hunter biology. If they want to propose, they will propose. Just go out there, have fun, be joyful. Have platonic bonds with people. That will intrigue people more. Adorable energy dil mein sarayat karti hai. Flirtiness just provokes lust, and lust is performative. You don't know whether that is lust, someone playing games, or whether that person is genuine with you. Because men can behave the same way until they get the closeness they want.
Aesthetics are so, so important. Even Instagram, up your Instagram game. You will get more brands and more offers. And then you will actually want ke saal mein ek project karo, acha karo. People should connect with you on social media. Jab aap apni expressions, skills, aesthetics, goofiness wagaira achieve kar loge, Instagram is also a work job. It is work. Be creative with Instagram: cinematic reels, cinematic concept reels. Socialize, socialize, socialize. It grooms your personality. It takes away the feeling of loneliness and all. It also creates detachment because aap logon se socialise karte ho, without making one person the centre of your world. Just be supportive and appreciative.
Lekin everyone should know that, of course, you will know what's better for you. And beauty, come back. Don't tolerate ke kisi ne kuch bola aur aap chup karke baith ke sun rahe ho. Everyone should know ke aapke liye jo better hai, aap woh apne liye karoge.
And the fact that I just listened to Ahad's conversation. He was, of course, trying to be sarcastic, and his subtext was clearly ke doosron ne mujhe itni space nahi di to perform, to be better. Of course, you need to give us artists space to perform. But what is that privilege of his to expect ke apni dedication chhod ke, apna kaam chhod ke, doosre log bhi uske liye adjust karein? Of course, you went there ke aap apna scene karo. But he is so insecure about it. He wants ke apni mehnat bhi ho, aur doosra female artist ya female actors bhi uske liye kar dein. So don't take that. This is called guilt-tripping. And then women start performing accordingly. Men test boundaries. This is called men testing boundaries.
Yes, be a little bit kind. Do what's best for you. Iqra Kanwal is like that. In terms of Iqra, she's very mindful, but initially she had that tightness there, ke my channel and all. She didn't say it out loud. She communicated it indirectly. Don't claim my army as yours. Ke agar Iqra Areeb se kehti ke I'm recording, I will record, to Iqra ki mom said, aaj badi baat hai, so record karo. Make them feel a little uncomfortable about crossing those boundaries.
The next day, or another day, she would ask, and she would say my army and my astrology. So these were the ways she kept him on balance. When asked in an interview whether he was a producer of her channel, Areeb was like, yes, yes. She just remained silent because he wasn't. And she didn't want to make her channel about half and half. And this is how things get messy. Aap ja ke actually Areeb ko thoda bohot bol do. Woh bhi very calculative hai, woh thoda sa... But she still said ke maine inko bola, maine apne fans ko bola. And then end my talk.
So apna pyaar, you don't need to give away your power or make everything about a man. You just need to be a little like a cat. Be beautiful, provide emotional support, appreciate the little things he does, and stop nagging. There's a way to say everything. This is after marriage. Before marriage, there's a biology, a hunting biology, which means the man has to pursue. Let a man propose. This is not your job.
And we Muslims, we believe that what is meant for you will find you even if it's beneath mountains. And what is the right person? Surah Waqiah padh ke Allah Ta'ala se achhe bande ki dua karni hai. The right person will come. Again, proposal. Anyway, you were just going out, making friendships and socialising. That's it. Stop making romance a part of your life.
