Reflecting on her five-decade journey that began at Radio Pakistan (where she replaced her late mother as announcer), Parveen Akbar emphasized life priorities: “I took an 18-year break for motherhood and have zero regrets – children come before everything.” Her sharp critique of contemporary actors stung harder: “Today’s artists lack basic respect; they won’t even stand for seniors or accept guidance, arrogantly retorting ‘Who are you to teach us?'”
