Bushra Ansari’s Stand on Dowry A Personal Call for Change
In a new video on her YouTube channel, titled ‘Jahaiz Aur Humari Beetiyaan (Dowry and our daughters)’, Bushra Ansari addressed the deep-rooted issue of dowry in our society, calling for strict law enforcement against the practice.
“When parents wed their daughters, they are already giving their daughter, their child to you, why do they have to give dowry and material wealth along?” she questioned boys and their families.
The ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ actor continued to share her similar personal experience and disclosed that despite investing her life to provide excellent higher education and a great lifestyle to her two daughters, she was forced to give them dowry as well.
“Other than the usual clothes and shoes, I even gave them things like cutlery, furniture, an apartment, and whatnot. But these shameless people feel nothing,” she mentioned. “There is a lot more to it which I can’t even add.”
She continued, “But these shameless people keep taking and taking and taking, and after all this, they forget to be grateful for the generosity of others and believe it’s their right. Even after all they do and give to their daughters, considering their partners as their sons, parents have to stay silent… not always out of fear, but simply out of love for their kids. I also did it out of love.”
“But it hurt and irks me, when the guy considers it as his right and is not grateful for what he got,” Ansari concluded.
