Karachi( Khyber Point) Renowned Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane has offered heartfelt advice to young women preparing for their weddings, urging them to focus on comfort and financial capability rather than societal pressures when choosing their bridal attire.
Speaking at the launch event of a fashion brand, Mawra emphasized that brides should not feel compelled to compete with others or overspend on wedding outfits. “A bride should never compare herself to others or worry about how expensive someone else’s dress is. You are the bride — whatever you wear, you will look beautiful,” she said.
She stressed the importance of staying within one’s means, adding that the joy of the wedding day should not be overshadowed by financial strain or unnecessary stress. “Wear what you can afford. The beauty of your happiness will make your outfit glow, regardless of its price tag,” Mawra noted.
Reflecting on her own wedding, the actress shared that she wore her mother-in-law’s bridal dress along with heirloom jewelry passed down from her grandmother-in-law. This, she said, made her feel proud of family traditions. “Earlier, I didn’t realize the true value of family heritage. Wearing those pieces made my wedding even more special,” she remarked.
Mawra also expressed her desire to continue this tradition by passing down these cherished items to her future daughter or daughter-in-law.
Her advice comes at a time when extravagant wedding expenses and the pressure of lavish bridal attire have become a growing concern for families across South Asia. By encouraging brides to embrace simplicity and authenticity, Mawra’s message has resonated widely with fans and followers.
