She was asked about the advice she would like to give young women who are facing pressure regarding marriage or motherhood.
In response, Gulfam told IANS, “Imagine yourself ten years from now. If the decision you’re making today will still make you happy and fulfilled after ten years, then make that decision confidently.”
