Being only 2 projects old, Merub has us swooned over her lively presence on screen. Gul from Sinf e Aahan and Ujala from Paristan were starkly different, but she played both characters tremendously. We recently sat down with her and apart from acting, she had a lot to say about love and relationships. Let’s find out!

1. Love Should Lead To Marriage

Mai apni ek personal baat kar rahi hoon hypothetically ke agar mai zindagi main kisi ko pasand karon to agay jaa kar will I marry him? If not, then makes no sense because I can’t deal with heartbreaks.
Merub Ali
Everybody has their own opinion, but for me, if I am in love with a person, I would ask myself clearly if I can marry him or not. If not, then there’s no point in continuing the relationship because I can’t deal with heartbreaks, reveals Merub.
2. Keeping Your Dating Life Private

The best thing you can do is keep things as private as possible, of course, aap itna nahi kar payen gaye if you are a public figure. Toh aap bahir jain gaye toh pictures khicheingi but the things you choose to make public, us peh agar log comments kareen toh woh aap ki responsibility hai bear karna.
Merub Ali
The best thing to do in a relationship is to keep it as private as you can. However, the things you choose to make public will attract unsolicited comments from people but then it is your responsibility to take them as they come.
3. What Being In Love Is All About

Love is all about respect, understanding each other, and meeting halfway. Finding companionship and support in each other is love for me.
Merub Ali
Fulfilling basic needs and understanding each other is the key. Taking things as a team of two to make a complete 100 in a relationship matters rather than forcing things on one side all the time. Also, make the most of it and do little things for each other and/or together!
4. Marriage Does Include Compromise

Shaadi is a beautiful concept if you think about it but also a concept that is not a piece of cake. Sirf pyar nahi chalta.
Merub Ali
Marriage is a beautiful concept but at the same time, it isn’t a piece of cake. Compromise is important in a marriage but there is always a limit to it. It is always better to involve parents or elders if you can’t handle a situation alone.
There you have it! Merub highlighted things that aren’t often talked about as candidly as she did, and that too at a very young age.
