Yishma joked about her plight of being unable to score a “relationship”, admitting that the struggle eventually led her to seek reinforcements from a close friend’s mother. “The other day, I was talking to Komal Mir about this. People might think that we have a lot of options as actors. But honestly, we lead such busy lives that it’s hard to focus on such things. People are available, they find us unapproachable,” he said.
Addressing viewers in a light-hearted manner, he encouraged potential girls to give him a shot, stressing that he’s really approachable. “We are not unlike other women. We have the same need for companionship,” admitted Yashma.
In fact, the actor added, working women may even crave companionship more because they tend to “suppress” their emotions and let their problems pile up without resolution. “I say ‘all working women’ because our society has a bit of a stigma about working women. They believe that such a woman can have too much exposure to the world and not have time for her home. Will be able to give. Concerned whether she is marriageable or not, if she is independent, will she be so?”
At the age of 35, the starlet expressed her desire to get rid of this persistent “body”, revealing that marriage proposals often come with the condition that a female actor must give up her career. “All this I know now. I cannot live a life where I am dependent on someone else,” she maintained.
When presented with a hypothetical scenario, Yashma replied that if she felt secure enough in a serious relationship and believed in her future husband’s commitment, she would leave her current career behind for him. Will consider. However, in this scenario, she expects him to deliver on his promise. Ultimately, it depends on whether she will regret bidding farewell to the career that made her who she is today.
“But I can make that kind of sacrifice,” she added. “I can sacrifice anything and everything if it’s genuine from the other person. But I haven’t found anything like that yet.” Yishma then humorously made a condition, “Yeah, man, I’ll leave her behind! But you’ll have to leave a lot too!”
