Pakistani actress Maya Ali has opened up about her thoughts on love, marriage, and her personal journey in an interview that has quickly gone viral. Known for her strong values and down-to-earth personality, the star spoke candidly about why she remains unmarried and why she refuses to give in to societal expectations.
Discussing the nature of love, Maya reflected, “Love happens, why shouldn’t it? But whether it happens with the right person or not, that’s what truly matters. Sometimes, the connection just isn’t there. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe they are, it’s not always me who’s right.”
She emphasized that real love is not always simple and requires patience, maturity, and a willingness to grow together.
Turning to the subject of marriage, Maya was clear in her stance. “I haven’t married yet because I don’t believe in doing it just to avoid people’s questions, or because I’ve crossed a certain age, or someone has found a ‘suitable’ option for me,” she explained.
For Maya, marriage is a significant decision that involves two families, not just two people. She believes it should be based on genuine compatibility, not age or urgency. Adding a touch of humor, she said, “I’ll get married the day the dollar becomes cheap because right now, inflation is too high!”
The interview also revealed lighter moments about her personal preferences. In a rapid-fire round, Maya said she enjoys night shoots over day shoots, prefers tea over coffee, and loves Karachi’s food culture. She also named actors Bilal Ashraf and Wahaj Ali as her favorites.
In one surprising anecdote, she recalled an unusual fan encounter. “There was one fan who took thousands of my pictures. I still don’t know how or why. It left me genuinely confused!” she shared.
Born as Maryam Tanveer Ali in Lahore on July 27, 1989, Maya has grown into one of Pakistan’s most celebrated actresses. Despite early opposition from her father, Tanveer Ali, a businessman, she followed her passion for acting and went on to build a career filled with acclaimed performances.
Her journey from personal struggles to professional achievements is often seen as a reflection of her resilience and independence. Through fame and challenges, Maya Ali has remained committed to making choices on her own terms, ensuring that her life and career continue to reflect authenticity rather than pressure.
