Babrak Shah Advice on Marriage: “Men Who Cannot Handle One Marriage Should Keep Fasting”

Former popular Pakistani actor Babrak Shah has shared bold views about marriage, responsibility, and relationships. In a recent appearance on Sheikh Da Podcast, the actor openly discussed his personal life, multiple marriages, and the lessons he has learned along the way.

Babrak Shah revealed that he has been married four times in his life. Currently, he lives with one wife, while his previous wives are separated and moving forward with their own lives.

Speaking on the subject of marriage, Babrak Shah emphasized that it is a big responsibility. He stated that men who cannot bear the burden of even one marriage should instead focus on fasting. According to him, this practice teaches patience, self-control, and discipline.

The actor further clarified that he never engaged in casual flirting. Whenever he liked someone, he preferred to propose marriage rather than build meaningless relationships. He believes this is the respectful way to live.

Interestingly, Shah also pointed out that in his view, some men are naturally capable of handling more responsibility. For this reason, he suggested that 10 to 15 percent of men should consider more than one marriage to maintain balance in society, as globally the female population is higher than the male population.

However, he stressed that whether a man chooses one marriage or multiple, two qualities are essential: patience and gratitude. If a person has these traits, Shah said, he can keep any relationship strong. He gave a lighthearted example, saying that if a wife refuses to make tea, the husband should not argue but instead get up and make it himself.

His statements have sparked debate online, with some praising his honesty while others criticized his views. Yet, his reflections show the complexity of balancing tradition, responsibility, and personal choices in modern relationships.
